The playmaker is said to be a target for Manchester United, who were reported by The Mirror to be prepared to offer around £45million plus Jesse Lingard to sign the England international. Rodgers has always made it clear he has no desire to let key players leave this month and his stance on Maddison appears no different. Indeed, Rodgers says the 23-year-old is in talks over a new contract with the Foxes, who are under no pressure to cash in on their prized assets after selling Harry Maguire to United in the previous window for close to £80m....

That night on May 28 was the second time that Real Madrid have beaten Atletico in the Champions League final in three years and on both occasions, it came in the most painful manner imaginable for Atletico. According to Atletico midfielder Koke, those defeats are something he will never forget, reports Xinhua.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez indicated in an interview published today that Paris Saint-Germain boss Carlo Ancelotti remained his prime target to take over as coach. The Spanish giants are still searching for a successor to Jose Mourinho after the Portuguese’s three-year reign in the Spanish capital came to an end last week. But PSG have so far refused to allow Ancelotti to speak with Madrid as the Italian has a year remaining on his contract in France....

Mafia 3, while being classed as a financial success for 2K games, divided critics’ and fans’ opinions due to its repetitive gameplay loop and various game-breaking bugs. While still containing some memorable characters, it seemed to pull away a little from the strong, tightly-woven narratives of the previous two games, placing more emphasis on player freedom. There are almost no details about the series’ next entry that are known at this point, but if the new game in the Mafia franchise is indeed Mafia 4, it should take the series back to its roots of telling compelling stories with compelling characters....

Set Boosters, on the other hand, have the freedom to play around with themed groups of cards that tell more of a story, since players won’t just be selecting one card and passing the rest along. Zendikar Rising brings one of the first chances for consumers to really dive into set boosters and the recent Magic: The Gathering livestream reveal event gave us a closer look at exactly how these packs will work....

The Russos have said that they’re “huge fans” of Magic: Gathering and describe their partnership with both Magic creators Wizards of the Coast and Netflix as a passion project come to life.

Each Magic: The Gathering card normally features art that reflects the abilities of the card. For example, a card that gives a creature flying could feature an image of animal with wings. However some of the more artistically minded Magic fans have taken to altering the art on their cards, using a mix of mediums to create their own unique takes on the games visuals.

Magic Arena has a variety of Limited events available this week and, although the focus is still on Zendikar Rising, another Standard legal set is making a comeback.

However, there’s more than one way of keeping Magic: The Gathering a healthy gameplay experience, and that’s bans. Sometimes, a card is just too strong overall or facilitates a deck that’s so strong that nothing else can compete with it. Bans are unfortunate to have to turn to, but sometimes it’s necessary. That’s what just happened with Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath, a mythic rare legendary creature that released nine months ago with Theros: Beyond Death....
