Real Madrid announcing they made a bid for Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez and it was rejected is bizarre

When did that become a thing

Jose confirmed

The Nico Paz situation is everything wrong with football.

Real Madrid sold the talented teen to Como for £6mil.

Inserted a £9mil buy back clause.

Como developed the player for 2 season, 12 goals 7 assists and got to be coached by Cesc Fabregas.

Real Madrid activate the £9mil clause and want £60mil to sell him back to Como

That's what Villa did with Philogene, to prevent Ipswich from having him. Then they sold him to Ipswich for much more later on.

Barcelona must just have a magic money tree somewhere in the Camp Nou.

A lot of really talented footballers are having their careers wrecked by football teams. No way Como can afford 60, so he goes back to RM where he likely sits on the bench for years until he's worth 10M again

We're not blameless either, we've held Gnonto back for years, he should be starting for us over less talented journeymen

If I were a young player and a Madrid/City/Chelsea/Barcelona wanted me, I'd tell them to insert a minimum playing time clause or get lost..

Maybe but if there's a young player making his way and those kind of big hitters come along and put a life changing contract on the table that secures your financial future (and that of your family) 99% would be minded to bend over and sign

They've appointed the guy who managed Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia . . . . . .

It's gonna be a bigger farce than this one... 6 host nations so 6 nations who'll be 1 seeds and won't have to qualify. It might involve 64 teams, 3 games to be played in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay for an Afro/European WC...

Interesting!! I'm watching the Copa Sudamericana match between Bolivar and Gremio. The match is being played in La Paz, Bolivia. And the stadium sits at just under 12,000 feet elevation.

The temperature was only about 16 degrees celsius at kickoff. That's about 62 degree Fahrenheit. And yet they had a hydration break in the 23rd minute. Why, I thought only those idiots in the United States did that.

Only ONE reason a young player of his quality would drop down to the 36th ranked league in the world. $$$$$$

Yep - Lifetime financial security for him and his family after just one season out there. Can't blame him.

Think I read somewhere the "wages" are £250k per week........... so £1m per month?
