00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the messy effect. It's Saturday, July twenty fifth,

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,759
twenty twenty six, and the transfer window is absolutely roaring

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:11,919
back to life after the World Cup. Big Saturday, big stories.

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,679
Let's get into it. The lead today is the one

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,480
every club in Europe is watching. Rodri to Real Madrid

6
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:21,239
is heating up fast and it might already be the

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,320
biggest transfer story of the summer. The Manchester City midfielder

8
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:28,280
and Spain World Cup winner is in the final year

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,719
of his contract and reports say he is pushing hard

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,119
to make the move to the Bernabayou. Real Madrid are

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,119
confident enough to be preparing a bid that could go

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,359
as high as one hundred million pounds. City have not

13
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:45,359
publicly engaged yet, and Madrid are doing the usual public

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,799
dance of denying everything, but every source is pointing the

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,840
same direction. Rodri, fresh off being the best player at

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,439
the World Cup, going home to the club he grew

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,560
up supporting. It would reshape the midfield market in one move.

18
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaking of huge moves, Arsenal are reportedly going all in

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,120
on Hui aun Alvarez. The Gunners are willing to offer

20
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:13,519
cash plus Victor Yukai Resh to try to pry Alvarez

21
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:18,640
away from Atletico Madrid. That is a massive, massive offer

22
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:21,079
and if it happens, it could define the rest of

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,040
this window. Atletico do not want to sell, but Arsenal

24
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:28,319
are making it very hard to say no. Real Madrid

25
00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:31,840
are not stopping at Rodri either. They have also reportedly

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,719
placed a one hundred million euro bid for yand Oman Day,

27
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,640
the RB Leipzig winger. Madrid are spending serious money post

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,480
World Cup and they are clearly trying to lock down

29
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:48,040
the next generation of their attack. Meanwhile, Chelsea have sent

30
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,920
Alejandro garna Cho out on loan to aston Villa. It's

31
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:54,680
a fascinating move for a player who was linked with

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,680
half of Europe. Villa get a young, explosive winger for

33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,840
the season and cell see create a pathway for him

34
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,680
to play regular football at the highest level. More movement

35
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:10,000
out of the Premier League Crissnsio Summerville is heading to

36
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,000
Saudi Arabia. The leads winger is joining Al Hilal for

37
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,159
a reported seventy six million euros. Another young attacking talent

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,039
goes east and the Saudi project keeps pulling in serious

39
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:26,960
names off the pitch. Barcelona have unveiled their new Black

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,919
and Violet's second kit, and it's tied to a Kobe

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,280
Bryant collection. Expect it to sell out almost instantly. It's

42
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,240
a bold design, it's got the Kobe link and it

43
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,800
will be everywhere on social media by tonight. And finally,

44
00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:45,960
preseason is officially here. Liverpool plays Sunderland today in Nashville.

45
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,319
The club season is starting to spin up. The World

46
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,080
Cup gave us a summer of football, but the domestic

47
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,639
calendar is back and the transfer dominos are falling fast.

48
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,400
That's it for this Saturday. The window is alive. I'll

49
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,840
be back tomorrow borrow with more for the messy effect.

50
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,360
Good night,
