Report: Milan and Leipzig Duel Over Breman Winger


RB Leipzig are currently the favorites to sign Werder Breman winger Milot Rashica but there are new suitors, including AC Milan. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, former Leipzig Sporting Director Ralf Rangnick is looking to wedge himself into the process and steal the player from the East German club.

Rashica has quickly become a hot commodity after three strong years in the Bundesliga where he has scored 24 goals in 72 games. The past two seasons has seen the Kosovar player's minutes expand as he played in 20 plus games for Breman both this season and last. 

The rumored fee will be upwards of 38 million Euros. However, Breman is embattled in a relegation fight and should they lose the playoff in the near future that fee would drop to 15 million. Both Leipzig and Milan will be keeping a close eye on the result before making a commitment. 

Leipzig is currently in the process of rebuilding their offense with the departure of Timo Werner and mystery still hanging over Patrik Schick's status. Last season the team brought in Adamola Lookman, Amadou Haidara, Christoph Nkunku and Dani Olmo. Bringing in Rashica would continue the move towards game-ready players in their mid-20's.

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced New York Red Bulls homegrown players John Tolkin and Daniel Edelman have been called into the US Olympic training camp ahead of friendlies later in the month. Tolkin, 21 years-old, has been called into Gregg Berhalter's camps in the past while Edelman will be making his first trip to the national level. Tolkin, now entering his fifth year as a New York Red Bulls player, has experience with the national team going all the way back to 2018 with the US Under 17 team. In 2023, he played four games for the Under 23 team and four games for the main national team as well. While he isn't a first choice pick yet, Tolkin's consistency hasn't gone unnoticed by US Soccer scouts and another solid showing could see him inch closer to a starting position. For Edelman it will be is first selection to such a camp. His experience with the Under 20's was extensive as he helped the team win the U20 Concacaf Championship in 2022. That tournamen...

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
