"You're going a bit too far with Julian Alvarez. He's an Atletico player and has a long-term contract with Atletico Madrid," Cerezo said, as quoted by SPORT.
Barcelona is understandably angry as Raphinha was risked for a useless friendly across the globe, with nothing official at stake. The consequences have been immediate and damaging.
Following months of discussions conducted in the best interests of European football, UEFA, European Football Clubs (EFC), and Real Madrid CF announce that they have reached an agreement of principles for the well-being of European club football, respecting the principle of sporting merit with emphasis on long-term club sustainability and the enhancement of fan experience through the use of technology," a statement published by Madrid and UEFA said.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the main issue lies not in the transfer fee itself, which is considered manageable, but in the financial implications of Rashford's salary. Barcelona remain cautious about how his wages would affect their already delicate financial fair play situation, making this a decision that requires careful evaluation rather than urgency.
Cherif had emerged as a leading candidate to strengthen Palace's attacking options, with head coach Oliver Glasner keen to secure a reliable replacement for Jean-Philippe Mateta. Palace were understood to have made significant progress, including reaching an agreement on personal terms with the Angers striker.

Christopher Nkunku reportedly did not want to take a step backwards by leaving AC Milan this month. However, it seems his head may be turned. The past few weeks have been rather up and down where Nkunku has been concerned. He has been on the list of players to go, and then he scored a brace against Hellas Verona. Despite that, though, it appeared he was still available.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, Milan want least €33m to sell Nkunku. This is not a random figure: the amount that would allow them to avoid a capital loss after paying €37m plus bonuses to sign him from Chelsea in the summer. At the moment, Nkunku is also showing no willingness to leave Milan after just six months, especially now that he's managed to score a brace in his last league appearance against Hellas Verona, his first goals in Serie A.

No, not in principle. I would say no. Barcelona is in a position to do so, and in fact, Barcelona is currently looking for a top striker. We're at €12-14 million to enter the 1:1 Financial Fair Play rule, which will allow them to operate freely in the summer market.
