‼️☎️ Al Hilal y Al Nassr se interesan por Raphinha. [Vía @mundodeportivo ]


Saudi Arabia wants Raphinha. Seriously. Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are both preparing bids of €80M plus a wage package four times what he earns at Barcelona today. That's not a casual offer. That's a statement. Raphinha is Barça's best player right now. Flick built the system around him. Barcelona won't sell. But at four times his wages? That conversation gets complicated fast. 🔵🔴 Via @mundodeportivo







Pedri vs Peru: - 1 Goal - 2 Chances created - 5 Accurate long balls - 45/45 Accurate passes - 8.1 Rating These stats once again show how important Pedri still is. They also highlight how much more liberated he is with the national team compared to at Barcelona. With Spain, he has greater freedom to attack, create, arrive in the box and influence the final third, while carrying less defensive responsibility. At Barcelona, Pedri is asked to do almost everything. Dropping deep in the first phase of build-up, orchestrating play, pressing aggressively, recovering balls and creating chances. The difference largely comes from having players like Rodri and Fabián Ruiz beside him in Spain’s setup. Rodri especially removes the burden of being the primary build-up outlet and constantly covering ground defensively. That is why Barcelona still need to sign a proper defensive midfielder such as Amadou Onana or Mamadou Sangaré. A natural No. 6 would free Pedri creatively while also helping preserve his energy and durability during the decisive stages of the season when titles are won.











Real Madrid president Florentino Perez teased a “total galactico” transfer target last week, a star player he said would cost the club €150million. But is that what they actually need? What should they do with the money? From a cheeky bid for Lamine Yamal or Julian Alvarez to the steel of a backline with Ruben Dias, we asked some of our writers how the money should be spent ⤵️ FREE TO READ: bit.ly/4uTDYRJ
