Speaker 1: Welcome to the messy effect. It's Saturday, July twenty fifth,
twenty twenty six, and the transfer window is absolutely roaring
back to life after the World Cup. Big Saturday, big stories.
Let's get into it. The lead today is the one
every club in Europe is watching. Rodri to Real Madrid
is heating up fast and it might already be the
biggest transfer story of the summer. The Manchester City midfielder
and Spain World Cup winner is in the final year
of his contract and reports say he is pushing hard
to make the move to the Bernabayou. Real Madrid are
confident enough to be preparing a bid that could go
as high as one hundred million pounds. City have not
publicly engaged yet, and Madrid are doing the usual public
dance of denying everything, but every source is pointing the
same direction. Rodri, fresh off being the best player at
the World Cup, going home to the club he grew
up supporting. It would reshape the midfield market in one move.
Speaking of huge moves, Arsenal are reportedly going all in
on Hui aun Alvarez. The Gunners are willing to offer
cash plus Victor Yukai Resh to try to pry Alvarez
away from Atletico Madrid. That is a massive, massive offer
and if it happens, it could define the rest of
this window. Atletico do not want to sell, but Arsenal
are making it very hard to say no. Real Madrid
are not stopping at Rodri either. They have also reportedly
placed a one hundred million euro bid for yand Oman Day,
the RB Leipzig winger. Madrid are spending serious money post
World Cup and they are clearly trying to lock down
the next generation of their attack. Meanwhile, Chelsea have sent
Alejandro garna Cho out on loan to aston Villa. It's
a fascinating move for a player who was linked with
half of Europe. Villa get a young, explosive winger for
the season and cell see create a pathway for him
to play regular football at the highest level. More movement
out of the Premier League Crissnsio Summerville is heading to
Saudi Arabia. The leads winger is joining Al Hilal for
a reported seventy six million euros. Another young attacking talent
goes east and the Saudi project keeps pulling in serious
names off the pitch. Barcelona have unveiled their new Black
and Violet's second kit, and it's tied to a Kobe
Bryant collection. Expect it to sell out almost instantly. It's
a bold design, it's got the Kobe link and it
will be everywhere on social media by tonight. And finally,
preseason is officially here. Liverpool plays Sunderland today in Nashville.
The club season is starting to spin up. The World
Cup gave us a summer of football, but the domestic
calendar is back and the transfer dominos are falling fast.
That's it for this Saturday. The window is alive. I'll
be back tomorrow borrow with more for the messy effect.
Good night,
