🚨🇰🇷 PSG are asking for more than €30m for Kang-in Lee, while Atlético Madrid are offering less.
The player is giving MAXIMUM priority to Atleti.
There are still things to be resolved between the clubs.

@muhh_hawal@jega_10@MarcGeschwind@cknze1 You see grey beards for my hair , you dey ask me weather i watch henry. Na henry wan dey tell him oga how to score?. No footballer born of a woman can has gained the right to lecture Ronaldo on Positioning or Scoring.
Really good analysis from Henry. This is the Ronaldo issue right now.
He's playing as a 9, but he's never been a 9 and he's not acting as a 9. Not giving Portugal those traits and it hurt them today.
@BabaGeshin@PushingParlays1@omaakatugba There is nothing like intentional or not. A foul is a foul... But ofcourse, new rulea have to be created to suit a fifa princess
@obot_sam1@PushingParlays1@omaakatugba Because the incident was reviewed and deemed not intentional. Ronaldo's own was intentional, FIFA confirmed that he will serve the 3 match ban, yet they suspended it for one year 🤣🤣 If he doesn't do VC again in 1 year, he gets away with it. Robbery
@jega_10@MarcGeschwind@cknze1 Henry can do that o my brother. Henry is a natural striker and not only that, he’s very good in that position. He knows literally everything about that forward line
🚨🗣️ New: Gareth Bale reacts to the Argentina vs Algeria match and the Messi incident:
“I’ve been around this game long enough to know when something doesn’t feel right. Argentina against Algeria wasn’t just another group game. Messi scored a hat-trick, Argentina won comfortably, and the headlines will focus on that. But what happened around the 30th minute told a bigger story about where football is heading.
Messi went in on Algeria’s captain. Studs up, right across the calf and down toward the Achilles. In real time it looked bad. In slow motion it looked worse. That’s a red card on most days, against most players, in most competitions. The referee and VAR had a clear look. They chose not to act.
I’m not here to pile on the officials. I wouldn’t want to be the man who shows Messi a red card in a World Cup and potentially derails Argentina’s group stage. The heat that would come with that decision is something no referee signs up for lightly. But that’s exactly the problem. When the fear of the consequences starts influencing what happens on the pitch, the game stops being decided by the players and the laws.
This World Cup is already the most commercialised version we’ve seen. Games paused for television breaks, extra stoppages dressed up as player welfare when everyone knows it’s about fitting in more ads. Now we’re seeing officiating decisions that protect the biggest names and the biggest storylines because knocking Argentina out early in the groups would hurt the narrative FIFA and the broadcasters have built.
What happens to the ‘script’ then? The defending champions gone before the knockout stage. Messi missing matches. Sponsors and rights holders suddenly watching their investment lose momentum. The product they’ve spent billions packaging suddenly looks very different.
I’ve played in big tournaments. I know how much money and pressure sit behind every decision now. But football used to have a rhythm and a soul that came from uncertainty. You never knew what was coming next. When protecting commercial interests and keeping the stars on the pitch starts overriding clear red-card incidents, that soul gets chipped away a little more.
The game deserves better than this. Players deserve rules applied the same way every time. Fans deserve to watch a sport that isn’t afraid of its own outcomes. If we keep letting money and narratives dictate what we see on the pitch, we’re not watching football anymore. We’re watching a show that happens to have a ball on it.”
‼️URGENT:
FIFA says they are EXTREMELY satisfied with the level of refereeing at the 2026 World Cup.
"Officials have made fewer mistakes and shown more consistency than referees in any of Europe's top five leagues so far."
🚨Sergio Ramos on the difference between Messi and Ronaldo:
🗣️ “The difference is very clear. When Ronaldo scores, the world talks about Ronaldo. But when Messi scores, the world still talks about Ronaldo.”
@the_Lawrenz Na there you go know say as Messi don score hattrick last night, Nigerians go must allow am farm goals any how he like
I trust my people 😂
“Davido has committed the act of terr0rism; he was wrong for putting the names of the 45 abducted school kids on his jacket at the World Cup. He has exposed Nigeria’s secrets to the international community." — Singer Dauda Kahutu
Thierry Henry on the VAR check involving Lionel Messi:
🗣️ “I’ve seen a lot of people saying that should have been a red card, but for me, intent is very important when you analyse these situations properly.”
“When you watch it again, you can clearly see that Lionel Messi is focused on the ball and trying to make a football action, not trying to hurt anyone.”
“Yes, there is contact. Yes, it looks awkward. But not every collision is a red card.”
“That’s exactly why VAR exists — to slow everything down and determine whether there was any malicious intent or serious foul play.”
“The officials looked at it carefully and in the end didn't even believe it was worth a yellow card.”
“People are reacting because it’s Messi. If it was another player, I don't think there would be nearly as much controversy.”
“For me, it was accidental, unfortunate, and nothing more than that.”
“Football is a contact sport, and sometimes incidents look far worse in real time than they actually are.”
@omaakatugba Excessive force is Ronaldo violently elbowing a player. He received a 3 match ban and then FIFA did him a favor and lifted the 3 match ban so he can play in the opener vs Congo today. But they won’t talk about that 🤐
