Since yesterday, the Real Madrid press has been talking about nothing but Bernardo Silva!
No other player has been praised as much for his performance in yesterday’s friendly match between Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruña other than Bernardo Silva. The press can’t believe that Real Madrid finally has a midfielder who controls the entire game!
Yesterday, Bernardo was the player who made the most successful dribbles, the player who made the most passes into the final third with 10, the player who won the ball back the most times with 8, and won 4 out of 6 duels. not to mention his ball control, his ability to direct the ball along the best paths, and his resistance to pressure—he turns any complicated situation into a smooth and simple one!
That’s why *Marca* reported after the match that Mourinho plans to give Bernardo Silva the playmaker role—the very role they would have given Rodri had Real Madrid signed him. Just imagine if those two were playing together!
In a major news story that broke yesterday while we were watching the Paris Saint-Germain vs. Aston Villa match, it really didn’t get the media buzz it deserved!
After weighing the options between Louis van Gaal and Roberto Martínez, the Dutch national team pulled off a major surprise by appointing Xavi Hernández as head coach, marking Xavi’s return to the field after a full two-year absence.
The great thing about this decision is that Xavi came out and said the goal is to win, but he wants to win the way he’ll instill in the Dutch national team—an attacking style based on possession and creativity, a style the Dutch fans will enjoy!
The Netherlands has long had excellent players but has struggled to find the right coach for them. Xavi is the first suitable coach chosen by the Dutch Football Association—and just imagine: Xavi is the first foreign coach to lead the Dutch national team in 48 years!

Atlético Madrid is actively strengthening its defense, while Real Madrid stands by and watches!
Yesterday, Atlético Madrid officially signed Argentine defender Cristian Romero from Tottenham for 40 million euros, plus a 15% sell-on clause, making him the fifth most expensive signing in Tottenham’s history!
According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona declined to sign Romero after consulting with Hans Flick, so Atlético sealed the deal, making him the fifth Argentine player on the team alongside Álvarez, Molina, Simeone, and Musso—not to mention Diego Simeone himself!
Romero seems like a perfect fit for Diego Simeone—a defender who contributes to build-up play, excels in defensive blocks, but is also very aggressive in his tackles. Just imagine: since 2022, he’s been the Premier League defender with the most red cards (4), the fourth-most yellow cards (40), and the third-most fouls (147). Good grief!
Manchester City just pulled off one of the biggest sales in its history!
Just imagine: Tijani Renders, whom Manchester City bought last year for 55 million euros, has now been sold to Saudi club Al-Qadisiyah for 61 million euros—and he’s just a backup player. Crazy, isn’t it?
Manchester City’s management is operating with great intelligence in this transfer window; They want to sell Rodri to Barcelona for 80 million, and by selling Renders for 61, they’re financing two major signings—Enzo Fernández and Ayoub Bouaidi—for 220 million, leaving them with a net outlay of just 80 million in this deal!
On the other hand, Renders is a huge deal for Al-Qadisiyah. If he plays box-to-box, he’ll form a very strong trio with Kenyonis and Retigi and will score plenty of goals—it’s a win-win deal for everyone involved!
If Manchester City brings together the trio of Enzo Fernández, Elliot Anderson, and Ayoub Bouadi—and adds Ryan Sharqi and Foden on top of them—they’ll dominate the Premier League.
Barcelona fans are going to be celebrating this news!
According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona has finally parted ways with Ferran Torres, selling him today to Paris Saint-Germain for 50 million euros—after having bought him from Manchester City for 55 million four years ago!
This transfer was what Ferran Torres himself wanted, even though he knows he’ll be sitting on the bench behind Ousmane Dembélé and won’t play in the big games. However, he’ll get plenty of playing time in the French league, where he’ll find the open spaces he loves and be able to play freely.
Just imagine: Barcelona sold a striker who missed 52 clear-cut scoring chances over the last five La Liga seasons—20 of them last season—not to mention the four clear-cut chances he missed at the World Cup, even though he started only one match. not to mention that he can’t link up with his teammates or win duels—Barcelona made a killing on that 50 million!
The people running Paris Saint-Germain are truly crazy!
Paris signed Ajax’s top prospect, 21-year-old Mika Gudts, today for 55 million euros—and just imagine that this talented young man is set to replace Kvaratskhelia. Talk about living the high life!
Last season, Gudts contributed 29 goals in 32 games—the most of any player in the league—created 78 chances, and generated 14 clear-cut scoring opportunities. Not to mention, he had the highest dribbling success rate in the league; he’s dazzling in his movement and in open spaces, though he’s not as strong in static situations.
Just imagine with me: next season, the Paris bench will feature “Mika Godets, Magnus Aklios, Ferran Torres, Parkola, and Ibrahim M’Baye.” – Sini Maiolo – Drew Fernandez – Emre – Renato Sanchez – Lucas Dean – Elia Saparni – Lucas Hernandez – Lucas Peraldo.” Imagine all of them on the bench—let alone the starting lineup!
Paris now has an excellent team that can easily win the league, and a formidable squad that’s taking it easy in the league so they can win their third consecutive Champions League title.
Liverpool FC pulled off a massive deal today: the Fenway Group, the club’s owners, officially agreed to sell 30% of Liverpool’s shares to a group called Holdings 1892, which consists of four businessmen!
The first is Amit Bhatia, pictured here, who will serve as vice chairman of the board and previously served as vice chairman of Queens Park Rangers!
The second is Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon; the third is Elaine Saverin, wife of Edward Saverin, co-founder of Facebook; and the fourth is the Indian businessman Lakshmi Mittal. Together, the four have a combined net worth of $380 billion!
The group has valued the club at 5.5 billion pounds, so the amount they’ll pay is 1.65 billion, which represents 30% of the club’s shares. The group will not be involved in the day-to-day management of the club, but this is a long-term partnership, and the club will benefit from the group’s standing, expertise, and strong connections.

What happened next was that Wolves were losing 2–1 at home until Raúl Jiménez came off the bench and saved them from defeat. He earned a penalty kick and scored the equalizer in the 93rd minute, celebrating by touching the club crest, and the fans filled the stadium with chants of his name!
