Real Madrid’s big housecleaning
In the Spanish newspaper Sportthis morning, we are talking about a Real Madrid which has established a clear hierarchy: eight players are judged “untouchables”including Courtois, Mbappé and Vinícius, the latter being at the heart of arduous discussions for its renewal. Conversely, a list of eight transferables is emerging, noting the probable departures of Carvajal and Alaba at the end of the contract, as well as the placing on the market of Camavinga for around 50 million euros.

FC Barcelona wants to part ways with two of its attackers
The newspaper A.S. talks about the future of Robert Lewandowski which takes an unexpected turn: while his agent Pini Zahavi negotiated a golden exile in Saudi Arabia, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East now make the Pole hesitate, worried about the safety of his family. If interest from MLS has cooled, AC Milan remains on the lookout in Serie A, hoping to repeat the success of experienced players like Modric. Before deciding, “Lewy” set himself one last challenge: score four goals in the last seven matches to join the historic top 10 of the club’s top scorers. In Sportwe write that FC Barcelona conditions its next recruitment on the resolution of the Lewandowski and Rashford files, whose status has radically changed. The club submitted a drastic extension offer to the Pole, including a 50% cut in his salary and a replacement role, leaving him the sole judge of his future. At the same time, the departure of Marcus Rashford is becoming clearer, his overall cost being considered too high for a non-starting player, unless there is a new advantageous loan. These two departures would free up colossal financial room for maneuver, allowing Deco to launch the offensive for younger and less expensive profiles.

It is impossible to dissociate the trace left and the titles. Marquinhos is rewarded for his exceptional longevity for more than twelve years. And Pacho is simply stunning. He is incredibly serene, he is dominant in the duel.»
