It used to be common knowledge that the best football academy in Europe was Ajax’s. Barcelona’s La Masia may not have produced the highest quantity of players, but it consistently delivered exceptional quality. In recent years, however, Real Madrid have also begun to reap the rewards of their work with young talents. Even though the Madrid giants rarely produce youngsters who go on to become first-team regulars in a squad filled with some of the world’s best players, they have become extremely successful at generating significant transfer income from them.Liverpool bound! Former Real forward is Iraola’s first signingThis transfer window is a perfect example. Real Madrid signed Marc Cucurella for 55 million euros, Denzel Dumfries for 20 million, and paid another 15 million to appoint Jose Mourinho. Bernardo Silva and Ibrahima Konate arrived on free transfers, so they are not part of this calculation. The calculation shows that the transfer fees for those first three acquisitions have ef..

A match that will be talked about forever. Some will celebrate a magnificent comeback, while others will remain convinced that referee Francois Letexier robbed them. That is the lasting impression of the match between Argentina and Egypt. The Egyptians had not calmed down even after the final whistle (head coach Hossam Hassan said he would not watch another World Cup match for the rest of the tournament), and they were still furious with the referees the following day. The Pharaohs believe that several key decisions went against them, including the incident involving Ziko’s goal, which was disallowed by VAR for a foul committed much earlier in the move. Shortly afterward, Egypt was not awarded a penalty following a foul by Alexis Mac Allister, and moments later Argentina scored the winning goal.’They wanted Messi to stay!’: Egypt explode after Argentina escapeThe Egyptian FA released a statement in which they thanked Egyptian people around the world for their ‘unwavering support, loyal..

Fulham have made a fascinating managerial appointment. After Marco Silva left for Benfica, ending his five-year spell in west London, the Cottagers set out to find his successor. Whether they have chosen the right man remains open to debate, but one thing is certain—they did not cast a particularly wide net. Reports first emerged over a month ago that Fulham were in advanced talks with Alvaro Arbeloa, and from that point onward, no other candidates were seriously linked with the job. There was a lengthy period of silence before the club suddenly made it official: Alvaro Arbeloa is the new Fulham manager.Welcome to Fulham, Álvaro Arbeloa. 🤍— Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) July 7, 2026 Arbeloa has undoubtedly benefited from having managed Real Madrid for much of last season after Xabi Alonso was dismissed, even though his spell at the Santiago Bernabeu was far from successful, with the club ending the campaign without a trophy.
