It looks like we have a breakthrough in three of this summer's biggest transfer rumors: Robert "Something Died Inside Me" Lewandowski, Barcelona bargaining chip Frenkie de Jong and the Bugatti Veyron-less Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to a report from Forbes on Monday, the Denver Broncos will be sold to Rob Walton, an heir to the Walmart fortune, for $4.5 billion. This makes it the most expensive sports team purchase ever, following shortly after the sale of Chelsea Football Club to a consortium led by U.S. businessman Todd Boehly for $3.13 billion.
Carlos Tevez is done playing professionally. The 38-year-old announced on Saturday that he will be hanging up his boots for good after 20 years of playing.

Plenty of people can relate to making a mistake their first day on the job. It’s a common occurrence. Not many people can say that on their first day they insulted one of the country’s biggest sports fan bases by running a headline that was never meant to be seen.
Someone did that on Tuesday when a BBC headline insulting Manchester United casually calling the club “rubbish” ran on live television.
Manchester United are set to undergo major changes after another disappointing season but former midfielder David Beckham hopes Cristiano Ronaldo sticks around for at least another year.
