        


&lt;p&gt;Stretching from goal line to open field, some of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL’&lt;/a&gt;s most iconic plays&lt;/strong&gt; have been &lt;strong&gt;long rushing touchdowns&lt;/strong&gt; that flip momentum in an instant. Backs have shattered defenses with runs that defy tackle charts and fade into league lore.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The benchmark for sheer distance remains impossible to top, first &lt;strong&gt;set in the early 1980s and later matched&lt;/strong&gt;. Those moments crystallize speed, vision, and an offensive line firing on all cylinders.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;But beyond the record, a rich tapestry of explosive long runs spans eras and personnel. From franchise-best bursts to game-changing breakouts, some touchdown dashes have become enduring snapshots of athletic prowess.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What is the longest rushing touchdown in the NFL?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In the long, storied history of the National Football League, every inch counts but the &lt;strong&gt;longest possible rushing touchdown&lt;/strong&gt; from scrimmage is one that spans the entire length of the field.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251224_BUS_550918_Tony-Dorsett_8307746b.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-550958&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Tony Dorsett #33 of the Dallas Cowboys in 1996 (Source: George Rose/Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That mark stands at 99 yards&lt;/strong&gt;, and it has stood the test of time as the official maximum for a run from scrimmage, since the ball must be snapped from within a team’s own 1-yard line.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Two of the greatest running backs of their respective eras share this rarefied record: &lt;strong&gt;Tony Dorsett&lt;/strong&gt; of the Dallas Cowboys and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/derrick-henry&quot;&gt;Derrick Henry&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;of the Tennessee Titans.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;On &lt;strong&gt;January 3, 1983&lt;/strong&gt;, Dorsett shattered conventional expectations with a dazzling, &lt;strong&gt;99-yard sprint against the Minnesota Vikings&lt;/strong&gt; on Monday Night Football. It wasn’t just a record, it was a defining moment in a Hall of Fame career.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Decades later, on &lt;strong&gt;December 6, 2018&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans&quot;&gt;Titans&lt;/a&gt; star Derrick Henry replicated that feat, bulldozing through defenders to match Dorsett’s historic run for &lt;strong&gt;Tennessee against Jacksonville&lt;/strong&gt;. That run tied Tony’s record, proving how rare and special such a play truly is&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251224_BUS_550918_Derrick-Henry-1_d503dd9f.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-550942&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Derrick Henry of the Tennessee Titans in 2018 (Source: Jason Hanna/Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Since that iconic night in Minnesota, no player in NFL history has surpassed the 99-yard rushing touchdown mark, &lt;strong&gt;it remains the longest possible run from scrimmage&lt;/strong&gt; and the highest ground-gain highlight any running back can achieve.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Why 99 yards is as far as you can go in the NFL&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;It may seem strange that no player has ever rushed for 100 yards on a single play, but the rules of football make the math clear. &lt;strong&gt;The offensive team cannot snap the ball from inside its own end zone&lt;/strong&gt; and even if its back is pressed against the goal line, the farthest position for a rushing attempt is the 1-yard line.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;From that spot, &lt;strong&gt;the maximum distance to the opposite end zone, where a touchdown is scored, is exactly 99 yards&lt;/strong&gt;. No more, no less. Each foot past that point would already be in the end zone, so the record is bound not by athletic ability, but by the geometry of the gridiron itself.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Because of this setup, any run of 99 yards instantly catapults a back into NFL lore. It’s a blend of speed, vision, blocking and a little bit of luck — a perfect storm that only a handful of players have ever been part of.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With two weeks remaining in the &lt;strong&gt;2025 NFL season&lt;/strong&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/strong&gt; already know their fate. Once again, their hopes of reaching the playoffs have vanished, leaving &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott&quot;&gt;Dak Prescott&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and his teammates to start looking ahead to the next campaign for America’s Team.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The mood inside the facilities is clear: &lt;strong&gt;this cannot happen again&lt;/strong&gt;. For that reason, the quarterback delivered a strong message to the fans ahead of what’s to come: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“We won’t be back here in this spot,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Prescott said Tuesday, via &lt;em&gt;ESPN.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Can they make it? Prescott stated that he will do everything in his power, alongside his teammates, &lt;strong&gt;to bring home a championship&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;“I feel like the last few times I’ve said that were playoff losses. Each year has its own troubles. Each year has its own highs, lows, ebbs and flows and everything within it. The importance is controlling what you can … &lt;strong&gt;I’m going to do my damnedest&lt;/strong&gt;, controlling what I can and as you get older, &lt;strong&gt;I think having more input&lt;/strong&gt;, having more say so and being asked more questions from the front office. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;Maybe there’s a little bit more that I can do&lt;/strong&gt;, and it’s not physically or me getting better at my game. Maybe it’s speaking up and saying that this will help or I think this can help. Whatever it takes, once again I’m going to do my damnedest and make sure that I’m influencing and encouraging everybody else around me, not just the players, to do the same.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251224_BUS_550836_dak-prescott-10_4566c382.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Dak Prescott Dallas Cowboys&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-549978&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Dak Prescott #4 of the Dallas Cowboys.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Dak Prescott isn’t abandoning ship&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Even though fate once again kept the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys&quot;&gt;Cowboys&lt;/a&gt; out of the upcoming playoffs, Prescott was asked if he preferred to sit out the final games on the bench: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Absolutely not, especially on Christmas,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; he said.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/dak-prescott-makes-something-clear-about-jerry-jones-ahead-of-next-cowboys-season&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;The QB also added: &lt;em&gt;“Particularly right now, going into this game, getting a chance to play on Christmas day, first time and also just the fact of being away from my family. I’m not trying to be away from my family if I’m not going to get to play this game and get to do something I love at a high level [and] finish a good individual season, I guess you could say, off strong … Fifteen games under the belt, I want to make it 17.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Prescott’s outstanding season&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Dak Prescott is having a career-defining season, rightfully &lt;strong&gt;earning a Pro Bowl selection for his outstanding play&lt;/strong&gt;. With an efficient 73.1 QBR, he has thrown for 28 touchdowns against only 10 interceptions, leading the Cowboys’ high-powered offense. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Prescott has already amassed 4,175 passing yards, leaving him just 4 yards behind Matthew Stafford for the top spot in the league. As the regular season nears its end, &lt;strong&gt;Dak is firmly in the hunt to finish as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt;‘s passing yards leader&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mike Tomlin and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers&quot;&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have decided that DK Metcalf will not leave the team, despite the two-game suspension the wide receiver received after an altercation with a fan in Detroit. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to a report by Tom Pelissero, even after the NFL’s decision voids $45 million in guarantees, the Steelers will not part ways with the player. &lt;em&gt;“DK Metcalf’s $45 million in guarantees void as a result of his two-game suspension, but sources say the Steelers have already reaffirmed their commitment to Metcalf for 2026 and beyond. Both sides are moving forward together.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;General manager Omar Khan signed Metcalf as one of the key pieces to help &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers&quot;&gt;Aaron Rodgers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; contend for the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Now, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to clinch a berth in the playoffs without him.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Can the Steelers win the AFC North?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Yes. The Steelers can win the AFC North with a victory over the Cleveland Browns on the road in Week 17. They could also be divisional champions if the Ravens lose to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;h2&gt;What are Steelers’ chances of making the playoffs?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Steelers currently have a 91% chance of making the playoffs as they sit atop the AFC North with a 9-6 record. A win in Cleveland would clinch a spot in the postseason, but even if they lose, their chances would still be 79%, as they would secure a berth with a victory over Baltimore in Week 18.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Green Bay Packers&lt;/strong&gt;’ latest performance left a negative mark in several ways. Not only did they suffer a tough loss against a divisional rival like the Bears, but &lt;strong&gt;Matt LaFleur&lt;/strong&gt; also had to rely on &lt;strong&gt;Malik Willis&lt;/strong&gt; due to the injury sustained by his star player, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-love&quot;&gt;Jordan Love&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The question for the coach now revolves around what he will do heading into the game against the Ravens, which could determine his team’s fate this season. What’s more, &lt;strong&gt;Willis also played while injured&lt;/strong&gt;, and despite this setback, he was able to finish the game.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ahead of upcoming game at Lambeau Field, Willis told &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-lafleur&quot;&gt;LaFleur&lt;/a&gt; that he will be available if needed for the showdown against Baltimore: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I try to take it one day at a time, but I would assume that I’m going to be ready,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; the QB said Tuesday, via Steve Megaree of the &lt;em&gt;Associated Press.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The hard fall on his right shoulder at the end of regulation was a tough blow, which he admitted, yet he finished the game despite his injury. &lt;em&gt;“The adrenaline’s pumping and, you know, we got to get in. &lt;strong&gt;We don’t have anybody else, so we’ve got to keep going&lt;/strong&gt;. It was fun.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251224_BUS_550762_malik-willis_ae353344.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Malik Willis&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-550811&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Malik Willis #2 of the Green Bay Packers.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happened to Jordan Love?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jordan-love-out-for-packers-vs-bears-injury-update-and-green-bays-qb-depth-chart&quot;&gt;Jordan Love was unable to finish the game against the Bears&lt;/a&gt; after &lt;strong&gt;entering the league’s concussion protocol following a heavy hit.&lt;/strong&gt; Due to the short recovery window required by the safety guidelines, the Packers have confirmed that he will also be out for the upcoming game against the Ravens. His absence leaves Green Bay without its starting quarterback for a critical non-conference matchup as he prioritizes his health and recovery.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/nfl-teams-with-the-most-playoff-appearances&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;LaFleur pleased with what he saw from Willis&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite the Week 16 loss to the Bears, &lt;strong&gt;Willis has shown he can rise to the occasion&lt;/strong&gt;, posting 9-of-11 for 121 yards and a touchdown while rushing 10 times for 44 yards. His coach knows he has a capable backup for Love.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;I think he’s done a hell of a job, man&lt;/strong&gt;,”&lt;/em&gt; Matt LaFleur said via &lt;em&gt;AP&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;em&gt;“I think it’s all about his approach, how he came in here, how open he was to being coached. We were pretty hard on him and his footwork, and he’s done an outstanding job. &lt;strong&gt;I feel like the more he plays, the better he’s gotten. It’s great to have a guy like him you have so much confidence in&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Playoff chances for the Packers&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite their recent loss, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers&quot;&gt;Green Bay Packers&lt;/a&gt; are in an excellent position to secure a Wild Card spot. According to the &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture&quot;&gt;official NFL website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, they currently &lt;strong&gt;have a 94% chance of making it&lt;/strong&gt;, with two weeks remaining in the regular season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If they defeat the Ravens at Lambeau Field in Week 17, &lt;strong&gt;that percentage will rise to 99%&lt;/strong&gt;, while in the final week they will travel to Minnesota to face the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, where the team’s fate will practically be decided.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The NFL confirmed that DK Metcalf’s suspension has been upheld, meaning the star wide receiver will be out for the rest of the season with the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers&quot;&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. He will not be able to play against the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ian Rapoport explained the situation. &lt;em&gt;“The two-game suspension for Steelers WR DK Metcalf has been upheld by an appeals officer jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA. Metcalf is out for the rest of the regular season and sees $45M in future guarantees voided, including $25M that was fully guaranteed for 2026.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Metcalf’s absence is a very tough blow for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers&quot;&gt;Aaron Rodgers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, since throughout the 2025 season the wide receiver position has been one of the least productive on offense. Now, other players will have to step up to help the Steelers reach the playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What did DK Metcalf get suspended for?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;DK Metcalf was suspended for an altercation with a fan at Ford Field during the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Detroit Lions. The fan said something to the player, and the wide receiver responded by throwing a punch.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;h2&gt;What was DK Metcalf’s punishment?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The punishment for DK Metcalf was a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s conduct policy following his actions toward the fan. In addition, the wide receiver will forfeit the salary he would have earned in those two games, resulting in a financial loss of $555,556.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot;&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are actively surveying contingency options as they navigate their outfield plans for the 2026 &lt;strong&gt;MLB&lt;/strong&gt; season. With &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cody-bellinger&quot;&gt;Cody Bellinger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; remaining their top priority, the front office has begun evaluating secondary targets should negotiations fail to produce a deal.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;One name that has surfaced is former &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies&quot;&gt;Philadelphia Phillies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; outfielder &lt;strong&gt;Austin Hays&lt;/strong&gt;, who reestablished his value last season with the &lt;strong&gt;Cincinnati Reds&lt;/strong&gt; after a difficult finish to his 2024 campaign in Philadelphia. His production and versatility have reportedly made the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-mets-eye-free-agent-all-star-who-played-for-phillies&quot;&gt;free agent All-Star a target for the NY Mets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, among other teams.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Hays delivered a solid offensive year in Cincinnati, posting a &lt;strong&gt;.266/.315/.453 slash line with 15 home runs, 60 runs scored, and a .768 OPS across 101 hits. &lt;/strong&gt;While his WAR (0.8) was modest, his contributions played a role in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-reds&quot;&gt;Reds&lt;/a&gt;’ postseason push and reinforced his reputation as a reliable everyday outfielder.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That interest became more concrete this week when &lt;em&gt;Jon Heyman&lt;/em&gt; of the &lt;em&gt;New York Post &lt;/em&gt;reported that the Yankees have already checked in on Hays as a fallback option. Via &lt;strong&gt;X&lt;/strong&gt;, Heyman wrote: &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;The Yankees also have checked in on Austin Hays&lt;/strong&gt;. Hays becomes more realistic for them if they are unable to retain their No. 1 target Cody Bellinger.”&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251224_BUS_550785_Austin-Hays_8067995f.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-550831&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Austin Hays #12 of the Cincinnati Reds reacts to hitting a three-run home run. Jason Mowry/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Mets’ interest adds competition&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As previously reported, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets&quot;&gt;New York Mets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have also discussed Hays internally as they look to stabilize an outfield that struggled with consistency last season. His right-handed bat and ability to handle everyday duties make him a logical fit for a team seeking lineup balance without committing long-term resources.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-could-pivot-to-proven-astros-ace-amid-cody-bellinger-free-agency-push&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;A familiar name gaining momentum&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Although neither New York club appears close to a decision, the overlapping interest underscores &lt;strong&gt;Hays’ growing market value as free agency approaches&lt;/strong&gt;. For the Yankees, he represents insurance behind Bellinger. For the Mets, he offers a potential everyday solution with proven production.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694bfce1e2d53b59fb2f06c5&quot; data-title=&quot;Should the Yankees pursue Austin Hays if Cody Bellinger leaves?&quot; data-options=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;As roster construction continues across the league,&lt;strong&gt; Hays’ next destination&lt;/strong&gt; could quietly influence the outfield outlook for more than one contender heading into the 2026 season.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/clayton-kershaw&quot;&gt;Clayton Kershaw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; steps away from the mound, the newly retired pitcher has time to reflect on a career that will undoubtedly earn him a spot in the Hall of Fame. Over more than a decade, Kershaw became the face of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers&quot;&gt;Los Angeles Dodgers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, guiding the franchise from perennial underachievers to back-to-back champions in 2024 and 2025.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The&lt;strong&gt; three-time World Series champion&lt;/strong&gt; witnessed the transformation firsthand, navigating changes in ownership, team culture, and roster construction. Through it all, Kershaw remained a respected voice in the clubhouse and a favorite among fans.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Recently, Kershaw appeared on the &lt;em&gt;Literally! with Rob Lowe&lt;/em&gt; podcast, hosted by the actor and lifelong Dodgers supporter, to discuss the current Dodgers dynasty and the comparisons it invites to historic teams, most notably the 1990s and early 2000s &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot;&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;How does Kershaw compare the Dodgers to the Yankees?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Reflecting on his upbringing during the Yankees’ dominant era and his own role in the Dodgers’ rise, Kershaw said: &lt;em&gt;“I think that was the way the Yankees were. When I was growing up, the &lt;strong&gt;Yankees were the best team, in the World Series and winning all those. But I think that’s good for baseball.&lt;/strong&gt; I really do. Having a team that you either love, because that’s your team, or you hate because they keep winning, that’s good for baseball. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Mark Blinch/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;He added, “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don’t want to be indifferent. I think it’s good to have that. That’s what viewership is.&lt;/strong&gt; I think this postseason, obviously with our Japan fanbase, and being in Canada, it was the highest-watched postseason in a long time. So I think it’s all good for baseball.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-overhaul-roster-as-mlb-exec-blasts-last-seasons-clubhouse-it-was-a-disaster&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kershaw embraced the role of the Dodgers as baseball’s “villains,” &lt;/strong&gt;suggesting that dominance drives interest in the sport and provides teams something to chase.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Dodgers’ sustained dominance&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With global talent, significant resources, and a front office capable of consistently building a competitive roster, the &lt;strong&gt;Dodgers&lt;/strong&gt; look poised to remain a dominant force in &lt;strong&gt;Major League Baseball&lt;/strong&gt; for years. Kershaw’s perspective underscores both the challenges and excitement of chasing a modern dynasty.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694be726e2d53b59fb2f06c2&quot; data-title=&quot;Do you agree with Clayton Kershaw that the Dodgers dynasty is good for baseball?&quot; data-options=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Boston Red Sox&lt;/strong&gt; have yet to agree to terms on a new contract with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alex-bregman&quot;&gt;Alex Bregman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. As the uncertainty around him takes over the &lt;strong&gt;MLB &lt;/strong&gt;offseason landscape, a report suggests a two-time All-Star could be the perfect replacement for the star third baseman.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-red-sox&quot;&gt;Red Sox&lt;/a&gt; would like nothing more than to re-sign Bregman ahead of the 2026 MLB campaign. After the star infielder opted out of the final two seasons of his three-year, $120 million contract, &lt;strong&gt;retaining him became the crystal-clear top priority&lt;/strong&gt; for the organization in The Hub. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, progress has come in fits and starts. Now, Boston may have to brace for a scenario in which the 31-year-old signs elsewhere. With that in mind, a report suggests that &lt;strong&gt;two-time All-Star &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/eugenio-suarez&quot;&gt;Eugenio Suarez&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; might be the best replacement available in free agency.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Here’s a name to consider: Eugenio Suarez,” NESN’s &lt;/em&gt;Mike Rosenstein commented on the Red Sox’s targets if Bregman doesn’t re-sign.&lt;em&gt; “The Red Sox need a power bat, preferably a right-handed hitter, and &lt;strong&gt;Suarez fits the bill&lt;/strong&gt;. However, Boston can’t wait too long because other clubs are interested as well, including the Seattle Mariners.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251224_BUS_550648_Eugenio-Suarez-1_f09dd6fa.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Eugenio Suarez in 2025&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-463103&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Eugenio Suarez at T-Mobile Park on July 31, 2025.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Suarez would cost less than Bregman&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;It should go without saying but pursuing Suarez would mean saving money for Craig Breslow and the Red Sox front office. However, buying cheap can turn expensive in the long run. &lt;/p&gt;


        

        

        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-red-sox-steering-away-from-all-star-and-closer-to-alex-bregman-after-willson-contreras-trade&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;em&gt;The Athletic’s&lt;/em&gt; early contract predictions, &lt;strong&gt;Suarez is projected to sign on a three-year, $72 million contract&lt;/strong&gt; ($24 million per year) ahead of the 2026 MLB season. Meanwhile, Bregman’s projections indicate he could put pen to paper on a six-year, $182 million deal. It’s far from a team-friendly deal, but reports suggest &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/red-sox-bracing-to-pay-alex-bregmans-steep-asking-price-amid-rumors-of-three-mlb-teams-emerging-as-suitors&quot;&gt;the Red Sox are bracing to pay Bregman’s steep asking price&lt;/a&gt;, regardless.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Strikeouts&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Here’s a perhaps the main area in which signing Suarez over Bregman could come back to bite the Red Sox is the strikeout rate of each player. Suarez has led the league in strikeouts three times in his career, and he averages a &lt;strong&gt;27.4% strikeout rate (K%) throughout his career&lt;/strong&gt;. Bregman, on the other hand, registers a much more reasonable 13.4 K% over his MLB career, via &lt;em&gt;fangraphs.com&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If availability is the best ability, being able to make contact at the plate surely comes a close second. In that regard, Suarez really has no standing against Bregman when it comes to who Boston should go after. According to &lt;em&gt;Team Rankings&lt;/em&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;Red Sox averaged 8.78 strikeouts per game last season&lt;/strong&gt;—the seventh-most in MLB. Now, one would think they have learned their lesson.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694b3196e2d53b59fb2f06b7&quot; data-title=&quot;If not Bregman, who should the Red Sox sign in free agency?&quot; data-options=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MLB&lt;/strong&gt; is in the midst of a busy offseason, with many teams already planning for the 2026 season. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-harper&quot;&gt;Bryce Harper&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; knows he will carry the heavy task of taking his &lt;strong&gt;Philadelphia Phillies&lt;/strong&gt; as far as possible, and the team is counting on him to make it happen.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In what could be seen as preparation for what’s ahead, &lt;strong&gt;Harper&lt;/strong&gt;’s important decision for the coming months was revealed: &lt;strong&gt;he will join the roster representing the United States in the upcoming World Baseball Classic&lt;/strong&gt;, according to Bob Nightengale of &lt;em&gt;USA Today&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In doing so, the Phillies star will join teammates such as Aaron Judge, Paul Skenes, Bobby Witt Jr., Corbin Carroll, Cal Raleigh, and Kyle Schwarber, among others, in the competition taking place from March 5 to 17.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Harper’s first time&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The 2026 World Baseball Classic will mark a significant milestone for Bryce Harper, as &lt;strong&gt;it will be his first time representing Team USA in the tournament&lt;/strong&gt;. Although he was highly motivated to participate in the 2023 edition, he was forced to withdraw while&lt;strong&gt; recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow&lt;/strong&gt; following the Phillies’ 2022 World Series run. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550598_bryce-harper-2_ac8f0476.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Bryce Harper&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-515320&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Bryce Harper #3 of the Philadelphia Phillies reacts as he scores.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After years of anticipation, the two-time MVP finally &lt;strong&gt;confirmed his commitment today&lt;/strong&gt;, expressing his excitement to “put the colors on his chest” for the first time since he was a teenager.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/bryce-harpers-new-star-teammate-makes-major-admission-ahead-of-phillies-2026-mlb-season&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Looking ahead for the Phillies&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After a dominant 96–66 regular season and a National League East title, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies&quot;&gt;Philadelphia Phillies&lt;/a&gt; saw their 2025 campaign end in disappointment with an NLDS loss to the eventual champion Los Angeles Dodgers. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Led by Bryce Harper, the team enters the 2026 season with a “win-now” mentality, &lt;strong&gt;recently reinforcing their lineup by re-signing Kyle Schwarber and adding power-hitter Adolis Garcia. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With a veteran core that includes Trea Turner and Zack Wheeler, the Phillies are focused on overcoming their recent postseason hurdles to finally secure the World Series trophy that has eluded this group.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are reportedly among the franchises eager to add &lt;strong&gt;Cody Bellinger&lt;/strong&gt; to their roster for the upcoming MLB season. Joining &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-in-danger-of-losing-cody-bellinger-to-an-nl-powerhouse&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the Yankees in this pursuit, there is one in the NL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Amid this competitive landscape, the Yankees are contemplating a Plan B in case Bellinger does not sign with them.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to a report from Yankees Source, the team has an alternative strategy should &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-could-pivot-to-proven-astros-ace-amid-cody-bellinger-free-agency-push&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bellinger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; not join the roster. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“If the Yankees can’t secure Bellinger, (Spencer) Jones could seamlessly step into left field,”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; they noted on their X account.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Considering this possibility, the Yankees might find in Jones a solution to their offensive woes. He was a standout performer in the minors last season, &lt;strong&gt;and the fanbase even called for his assistance during the team’s struggles.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, one of the main priorities for the Yankees regarding additions next season is Bellinger, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-set-terms-to-re-sign-cody-bellinger-amid-multi-team-interest&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;as the Yanks already set terms to re-sign Cody&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;who was notably beneficial for the team&lt;/strong&gt;, aiming to solidify a postseason position in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550589_bellinger-yankees-4_b88867c7.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Cody Bellinger&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-544335&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Cody Bellinger #35 with the New York Yankees.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Jones’ stats in the minors last season&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Spencer Jones, the Yankees’ top outfield prospect, experienced a dynamic and record-setting season in the minor leagues in 2025. Splitting his time between Double-A (Somerset) and Triple-A (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre), &lt;strong&gt;he was named to the All-MiLB Prospect First Team&lt;/strong&gt; after significantly enhancing his power output, despite continuing to face high strikeout rates.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-could-pivot-to-proven-astros-ace-amid-cody-bellinger-free-agency-push&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Games (G): 116&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Batting Average (AVG): .274&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Home Runs (HR): 35&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Runs Batted In (RBI): 80&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stolen Bases (SB): 29&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;OPS: .933&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strikeouts (SO): 179&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Highlights and areas for improvement for Jones&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Jones recorded 35 home runs and were the most by a Yankees minor leaguer in a single season in over a decade. &lt;strong&gt;He consistently hit with exit velocities over 110 mph, with a peak surpassing 115 mph.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, while he slightly improved his contact rate in July, he ended the season with 179 strikeouts. &lt;strong&gt;His high swing-and-miss tendency is the primary factor delaying his permanent MLB call-up.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694b0658e2d53b59fb2f06ae&quot; data-title=&quot;Do you think Jones could be a great plan B for the Yankees, if Bellinger doesn&apos;t sign?&quot; data-options=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The spotlight returns to continental action as &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr&quot;&gt;Al Nassr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, led by coach &lt;strong&gt;Jorge Jesus&lt;/strong&gt;, host &lt;strong&gt;Al Zawraa&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Matchday 6&lt;/strong&gt; of the &lt;strong&gt;2025 AFC Champions League Two&lt;/strong&gt;. While both teams have already secured qualification, the fixture has drawn attention for reasons beyond the standings.

&lt;p&gt;At the center of the discussion is &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, who has yet to appear in the competition after an early agreement with the coaching staff to manage his workload. That plan was designed to limit fatigue during a demanding stretch of the season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, &lt;strong&gt;the 28‑day pause in domestic competition has shifted the dynamics&lt;/strong&gt;. With Saudi league play on hold due to the national team’s Arab Cup commitments, Al Nassr &lt;strong&gt;now view this match as a chance to regain rhythm and rebuild competitive sharpness&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo starts, makes AFC Champions League Two debut&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo &lt;strong&gt;is starting&lt;/strong&gt; for Al Nassr today, &lt;strong&gt;being the team’s captain&lt;/strong&gt; against Al Zawraa.

After resting the previous games, CR7 is &lt;strong&gt;making his debut&lt;/strong&gt; in the 2025-26 AFC Champions League two today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Arsenal beat Crystal Palace?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If Arsenal defeat Crystal Palace today, they will progress to the EFL Cup semifinals.&lt;/strong&gt; It’s important to note that this stage consists of single-match games, and Arsenal have the home advantage in this encounter.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/where-to-watch-arsenal-vs-crystal-palace-live-in-the-usa-2025-2026-carabao-cup&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;A victory would set up a classic London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea, as “The Blues” &lt;strong&gt;await the winner of this quarterfinal clash in the semifinals&lt;/strong&gt;, after beating Cardiff last week.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Arsenal and Crystal Palace tie?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If Arsenal and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/crystal-palace&quot;&gt;Crystal Palace&lt;/a&gt; tie today, the match will proceed to a penalty shootout &lt;/strong&gt;to determine who advances to the semifinals. This change in format means there is no extra time, a rule that has been in place since the 2018-19 season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Arsenal lose against Crystal Palace?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace today, they will be eliminated from the EFL Cup&lt;/strong&gt; and miss the opportunity to face Chelsea in the semifinals. Regardless of the margin of defeat or if it comes by penalties, Arsenal would then shift their focus to their other ongoing competitions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Defending last season’s success in &lt;strong&gt;MLS&lt;/strong&gt; and reclaiming the championship will be &lt;strong&gt;Inter Miami&lt;/strong&gt;’s primary goal. Far from resting on its laurels, the club continues to strengthen its roster to support &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the best possible way for the season ahead.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facundo Mura, who has been playing for Racing Club in Argentina, is reportedly set to join the Herons&lt;/strong&gt; ahead of the upcoming season. According to the latest report from Cesar Luis Merlo on his X account,&lt;strong&gt; the defender turned down interest from River Plate&lt;/strong&gt; in order to team up with Messi.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Argentine transfer market expert also revealed that &lt;strong&gt;Mura will sign a contract with &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami&quot;&gt;Inter Miami&lt;/a&gt; through June 2029&lt;/strong&gt;. This way, Javier Mascherano will add experience to a defense that may have been one of the team’s weakest points.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Mura began his professional soccer career at Estudiantes de La Plata, had a brief stint with Colon, and most recently played for Racing Club. There, he celebrated winning the 2024 Copa Sudamericana. With his contract running out, the defender is joining Inter Miami &lt;strong&gt;as a free agent&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251223_BUS_550330_facundo-mura_031d9516.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Facundo Mura&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-550349&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Facundo Mura of Racing Club.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Inter Miami look to add another Argentine&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Inter Miami &lt;strong&gt;are also reportedly showing strong interest in acquiring Giovani Lo Celso&lt;/strong&gt; to further bolster their star-studded midfield. The MLS side views the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/inter-miami-reportedly-want-to-pair-lionel-messi-and-rodrigo-de-paul-with-another-argentina-international&quot;&gt;Argentine international as an ideal creative partner for Messi and Rodrigo De Paul&lt;/a&gt;, aiming to leverage their existing chemistry from the national team.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/lionel-messis-inter-miami-reportedly-working-to-sign-liga-mx-player-as-sergio-busquets-replacement&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;While securing a deal for the Real Betis midfielder would require a significant move, Inter Miami appear determined to bring his vision and tactical versatility to Florida as&lt;strong&gt; they continue to build a championship-caliber roster &lt;/strong&gt;around their core of veteran stars.&lt;/p&gt;
