After a long and painful wait, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) welcomed the next great big man.

On August 4th, Beijing time, the UCLA men’s basketball team officially announced that Aday Mara, a 7-3 (2m 21) center from Spain, had signed a contract with the Brown Bears, and he was widely predicted to be the lottery candidate in the 2024 NBA draft.

The day before the announcement, Mara posted a message on Instagram that he would leave the Spanish professional team Zaragoza to play in an American university, and said it was a difficult decision because he was leaving his hometown.

Mara’s decision has greatly improved the prospects of UCLA in the 2023-24 season. Earlier this summer, Mara turned 18 and he is still developing his skills. He is regarded as an excellent passer, who can jump shot from a middle distance or play with his back to the basket. In U18 European Championship this summer, he averaged 14 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 blocks per game, and shot 61.3%. Finally, Spain won the runner-up and lost to host Serbia.

The arrival of Mara will bring two top big men to UCLA. Adem Bona will stay in school for the second season, after his first season ended prematurely due to a shoulder injury. Bona’s recovery is expected to last for several months. He is not expected to take part in the Bruins’ summer trip to Spain later this month, and Mara is unlikely to take part in his motherland trip unless he signs up before the start of the autumn game.

Mick Cronin, coach of UCLA, said in the statement that in the process of getting along with Mara, he and his family insisted on one thing. They hoped that Adai would get a good education and watch him grow up in UCLA. He was tall, skilled and had a deep understanding of basketball. He was also a humble young man with great parents, excellent talent and excellent professional ethics.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, whether you can get tickets for next season’s Champions League will largely determine whether Mourinho will leave Rome. On the other hand, Juventus are planning some transfer moves.

In the previous round, Rome lost 1-2 to cremona, which ranked second to last, and Mourinho got the third red card this season. At present, Rome ranks fourth in Serie A and has a chance to get tickets for next season’s Champions League. Roma are satisfied with Mourinho’s work and intend to renew his contract, but the madman is considering his choice. Rome is not a local tyrant club, so it can’t give much support on the transfer fee, and Mu Shuai is powerless.

It is reported that Mourinho’s stay will depend on whether Rome can reach the Champions League next season, which is a promise made by the madman to the club when he first entered the club. However, there are still many problems in Rome’s lineup, such as relying too much on Dibala. As long as the magic fairy does not play, others will not score. The current state of the team is not ideal, and the road ahead is full of difficulties.

Mourinho has received invitations from many clubs and Paris is said to be interested in him. By May, it will be two years since Mourinho came to Rome. This team has already left his deep mark, so it’s a pity to give up. Moreover, in terms of Mu Shuai’s character, he will not give up easily. However, the current situation is a bit complicated. If we fail to reach the Champions League, the possibility of cooperation between the two sides is not low.

On the other hand, after 15 points have been deducted, it can basically be concluded that Juventus will miss the Champions League next season, which will have a great impact on the club. Economically, Juve is facing a possible collapse, and it is inevitable that some players will leave the team, including some very important players.

According to reports, Juve are open to selling the big-name stars in the team. Vlahovic, chiesa Jr. and Locatelli are all transferable. Among them, Liverpool have taken a fancy to Locatelli and may buy it in the summer window. Liverpool are short of midfielders. Compared with Bellingham and caycedo, Locatelli is a "low-cost" choice.

It is reported that Arsenal may join the competition, and the prospect of Liverpool competing for the Champions League tickets is unpredictable, which may become a disadvantage. Previously, Juve spent 30 million yuan on the introduction of Locatelli. The player is 25 years old and is worth about 45 million yuan.

At the same time, Juve are ready to adjust their lineup, looking for a body double for szczesny and finding Mendi. Before that, Mendy played for a long time, but with Porter in Chelsea, Kepa was in a brave state and regained the main position. If the situation does not change, Mendy will leave the team in the summer window and Chelsea are willing to let him go. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Chelsea to sell Mendi at a high price, and they can accept an offer of around 30 million.
