On Tuesday, Milan CEO Marco Fassone revealed the 18-year-old goalkeeper was “very close” to signing a new contract, though he admitted to complications with agent Mino Raiola. Lacazette reveals Arsenal inspiration Mirabelli said Milan cannot wait much longer for Donnarumma, who is attracting interest from Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, as they prepare for a return to Europe via the Europa League....

Then on Thursday the Securities and Exchange Commission came down on an alleged insider-trading ring that sounds like an invention of Robin Leach by way of Oliver Stone. Publisher Edward Downe Jr., cosmetics mogul Martin Revson and five others were charged in a civil suit with swapping stock tips reportedly worth as much as 23 million in the late 1980s, at times while yachting in the Caribbean or partying at Downe’s Southampton estate....

Allen, a 19-year-old student at Snow College in central Utah, was reported missing by her roommates after she was last seen leaving her dorm on the evening of December 13, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Allen had allegedly arranged to be picked up that night by a 39-year-old man identified as Brent Neil Brown of Wayne County, Utah, local news station KTVX reported. According to a police affidavit, the two had previously met in an online chat group....

The opening weekend results — thanks to your votes — produced a handful of double-digit seeds winning their opening-round games, but all of those Cinderella dreams died in the second round. We didn’t have a single team higher than a 5-seed advance to the Sweet 16 (I’m a little bit disappointed in you people for your lack of belief in the magic of March). MISSING MARCH MADNESS: Playing out the full schedule, scores for 2020 NCAA Tournament...

So why does Thompson worry over what Congress is about to do? His Republican colleagues, it seems, have heard only part of what Thompson’s been saying. “I tell everyone, ‘You’re not going to save as much money as you think you are’,” Thompson told NEWSWEEK. “People in Congress overlook that fact.” And when he presses the point? “They ignore me.” As the U.S. Senate begins a historic debate over how to fix welfare, Wisconsin has some lessons to offer....

Noone has yet claimed responsibility for the missile strike, which caused only “minimal damage” to the M.I.6. building and no causualties or injuries. British investigators have said they are “keeping an open mind” as to who might have launched the missile, but speculation inevitably turned to dissident groups from Northern Ireland. “Certain terrorist groups will be uppermost in our minds through this investigation,” said Deputy Assistant Commissioner Alan Fry, head of Scotland Yard’s Anti-Terrorist Branch....

News that the group of 16 Americans and one Canadian was fully liberated emerged Thursday, but the details of how they managed to obtain freedom were not released until Monday. Officials from Christian Aid Ministries (CAM), the missionaries’ Ohio-based agency, held a news conference where they described the group’s escape and trek over difficult terrain with an infant and other children. “After a number of hours of walking, day began to dawn and they eventually found someone who helped to make a phone call for help,” CAM spokesman Weston Showalter said....

House Bill 338, sponsored by Rep. Dan Eubanks, a DeSoto County Republican, would also mean any woman who attempts to “procure or produce” an abortion or miscarriage would be guilty of a felony and face a maximum of 10 years in jail. Other felony penalties which would be enforced if the Bill passes include those who “knowingly give, sell, dispense, administer or otherwise provide or prescribe” any abortion-inducing drug to a pregnant woman, or those enabling another person to induce an abortion in a pregnant woman....

Heather Lynn Thompson, 36, faces a charge of simple assault on a school official, a felony, after allegedly punching Verner in the face during a boys’ high school basketball game Thursday night in Armory, Miss. The altercation started because Verner, the girls squad’s head coach, was enforcing a school rule that players must ride the team bus home following away games.

Chad Stover, a junior at Tipton High School, had been hospitalized in critical condition since Oct. 31, when he was taken off the football field near the end of the game and taken by ambulance to the hospital. He died at a hospital in Columbia, said Scott Jarvis, superintendent of the Tipton School District. Officials have not said how Stover was injured. Jarvis said last week he couldn't discuss details of the injury but described it as "very serious....

The school said Friday that sophomore forward Stefan Jankovic will be transferring, saying he is hoping for more playing time elsewhere. The 6-foot-11-inch, 242-pound native of Serbia played in 28 games for the Tigers, averaging 3.1 points and 1.6 rebounds. He scored nine points in 18 minutes in this year's opener, but only added one combined point in eight-plus minutes during Missouri's next two games. Jankovic said he wanted to find a better fit....

“Folding Mitch McConnell!” fulminated former President Donald Trump, urging other GOP senators “not to vote for this terrible deal.” “Complete capitulation,” South Carolina Lindsey Graham said. Democrats gleefully agreed. “McConnell caved,” said Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. The critics might want to hold their fire until they see what happens in December. According to McConnell’s allies, the minority leader had very good reasons for striking the deal. They say it connects all the important political dots now laid out before him as GOP leader, in ways that will benefit Republicans going into a midterm election year....

The Associated Press called the race for McConnell at 8:01 p.m. ET on Tuesday—a victory that lands him a seventh consecutive term in the upper chamber. The state also went for President Donald Trump just moments after the polls closed. “The people of Kentucky had a clear choice and they sent a clear message: Tonight, Kentuckians said challenging times need proven leadership,” McConnell said in an election night speech....

The GOP Senate Majority Leader questioned on Fox & Friends Monday whether opposition senators such as 2020 primary frontrunners Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders would be impartial during a trial of the president, should articles of impeachment be passed onto the chamber. He also described impeachment as a “political exercise” and said it was “absurd” for Democrats to withhold articles of impeachment from the Senate. McConnell’s comments came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Democrats were waiting to “see the process that is set forth in the Senate” while not committing to sending the approved articles of impeachment to the chamber....

Rejecting accusations from Democrats that moving to confirm a new justice would be hypocritical just weeks before the election—given McConnell’s refusal in 2016 to allow a vote on President Barack Obama’s nominee, citing that year’s election—the Kentucky Republican promised to hold a vote “this year,” potentially even before the November 3 contest. “There was clear precedent behind the predictable outcome that came out of 2016, and there is even more overwhelming precedent behind the fact that this Senate will vote on this nomination this year,” McConnell said....

Regarded by many as a bust after failing to live up to his draft status, Trubisky was expected to be benched for the start of the 2020 season after the Bears declined the fifth-year option on his rookie contract and then traded for Super Bowl 52 hero Nick Foles. BEARS 2020: SN projects Chicago’s record Reports on Friday, however, said the Bears have gone with Trubisky over Foles and he that will be under center when they begin the 2020 campaign against the Lions on Sept....

A night after swinging in the Home Run Derby, Ohtani spun a shutout inning to start off the game for the American League, and in the third inning, Guerrero hit a tape-measure blast — measured at 468 feet — for his first of two RBIs on the night. By the end of the evening, Ohtani had earned the win in a 5-2 victory against the National League while Guerrero was named the game’s MVP....
