Last season was not a good one for Liverpool. They finished as fifth in the Premier League (not good enough for the champions) with a stunning 25 points below Arsenal, who took their title away. Arne Slot paid the price, but nobody talked about the transfer window and the players the club bought. Andoni Iraola came in as a manager but after only two games (and two draws), the last year’s players are suddenly at the forefront as their ’honeymoon’ is over. Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz have been singled out in particular, but the full back situation might be even worse, and the Spanish coach will have to do something about it. And it looks like Dominik Szoboszlai will be the victim again.Salah’s replacement is finally on MerseysideThe Hungarian midfielder was one of the rare bright spots in Liverpool’s team last season and he was rewarded for it. He is now the vice-captain and he also got a new contract and a big wage (325.000 pounds per week). One of the reasons he decided to stay wa..

We were in for a lot of the same players as other sides who have greater financial resources.” ..

If we count only the group stage, the recently finished World Cup has been a huge success for African teams. Many doubters will say that it was mainly due to the fact that a number of participants (48) was sharply increased, compared to previous tournaments (32), but whatever the reason, the African continent was happy and full of pride. When the group phase was finished, nine African nations reached the knockout rounds of the expanded 2026 tournament, the highest number ever from the continent. The meltdown followed later and Ghana was among those teams. The Black Stars have a long history of participating at the World Cup, they have even made it through the group stage twice before doing it for the third time in 2026, but were stopped in the Round of 32, when they lost to Colombia 1-0.

Panathinaikos are gearing up for an assault on the throne and a return to the top after 16 years. No other conclusion can be drawn from their activity during this transfer window.

Panathinaikos signed a deal with Azzedine Ounahi for 15,000,000 euros, a club-record fee that is almost double the previous record held by Djibril Cisse, who arrived from Marseille for 8,000,000 euros.
