He's been allowed to do nothing off the ball, and has become an absolute luxury player, so no sensible team will buy him. Every team in the world would buy him if there was a realistic chance he would go there. I totally disagree. On a free transfer with a normal wage, sure, but that isn't the case. Plus his ego has still made him a pain in the arse for PSG and they have almost infinite resources. I don't think any team that is reasonably settled and playing a modern, high tempo pressing game would consider him worth it versus what else you could do with those resources. I guess we'll see (to some extent) by which clubs even try.

I think 3-4 years ago, definitely but he does appear to have fully bought the hype. What's his rumoured wage now?

Close to €1m per week.

He’d certainly be an upgrade on Almiron or a solid replacement for Saint-Maximin but the only two clubs I can see biting would be Madrid and Barca. Unless maybe Juve think they can cook their books agsin already.
I can see Boehly wanting to throw his hat in the ring too but Poch might put that clown back in his box.

Al Hilal make £259 million offer for Mbappe and say he can leave after a year.

Don't forget the yearly salary of 700m euros, just for 1 year. £13m a week and still given the option to go to Real after the contract is over.

I've gained respect for him as it seems he's refusing to meet with the Saudi's.
Whether that respect holds depends on whether he's legally obliged to do so thanks to some paper he's signed with Madrid or if this is a point of principle.

Not sure whether you need an AppleTV+ sub, but even without the MLS Season Pass you can watch recaps etc. If you do have an AppleTV, you can now watch four games at once in either MLB or MLS

Anyone squeamish should avoid looking for details/videos of Marcelo's tackle on Luciano Sanchez this morning.

Leg breaker?
Fofana is a little dickhead but he suffered a proper break in a friendly 2 years ago. Absolute joke some of these tackles.

It looked like a break but it might be a dislocated knee from reading about it. My literary skills couldn't do justice to just how bad it looked though. Like de-boning a chicken leg or something. So much movement between parts of a leg that should really be tightly held together. Horp

Absolute joke some of these tackles. That's true and all, but presumably you haven't seen this incident because it's clearly accidental. Sympathy lies fully with the guy whose career may be over, but Marcelo looked devastated.

Yeah the guy who got injured tried to tackle Marcelo and he stood on his leg while running. Accidental, and horrible stuff.

Ew no. Got a thing about legs after fracturing my own ankle. I was advised not to read or watch it and damned if I'm going to make myself sick.

He loves chubby ankles especially if they are the wrong way round.

Aw. Gigi Buffon has finally called it a day.
Probably my favourite goalkeeper ever.

Messi scored two for Inter Miami. In an alternate universe, he would be managed by Phil Neville.

I do quite like that both Messi and Mbappe have stuck two fingers up to Saudi.

Miami need to sort out their pitch though. It looks like shit.

Do we have a dedicated Super Cup thread or does it just fall under this one?
Either way, it's tonight at 10 (GMT+3 (?))

That's what happens when you don't convert your chances... Like En-Nesyri did(n't) not even a minute after
