Real Madrid

Last summer, Bayern Munich was closely linked to defender Dean Huijsen, who ultimately inked a deal with Real Madrid. His agent, Ali Barat, confirmed that Bayern Munich was in the mix. "Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle...they all wanted Dean, to be honest. We had about seven big clubs. But when Real Madrid came along, it was an easy decision. There were many clubs, but with Madrid there was no doubt," Barat told AS (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Vinicius is not the same as he was and the coach is not the same as he was. He will have to improve his level and then convince the coach. These attitudes displayed in public are not healthy. They are not healthy in any case.

We have a lot of games and I'm sure that there will be a game where he will not be a starter. He will have to accept it naturally. Kylian is very important but there will be days that he may not play from the start. We've played only five games, we have to wait to draw conclusions.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is a target for Real Madrid at the end of the season, and they are hoping to sign the South American. Fernandez has been outstanding for Chelsea since joining the club, and his performances have attracted the attention of the Spanish club. According to a report from Defensa Central, Chelsea could consider selling the midfielder at the end of the season.

The key concept is that the interpretation of the presence and distance away of a second defender can change the punishment from a yellow card to a straight red card. The referee shows a red card, believing it involves a clear goalscoring opportunity. The action presents two possible scenarios, depending on a second Real Madrid defender, key to the move. If we believe that he could arrive and challenge for the ball, the adequate punishment should be a yellow card.

Starting with the hosts, ending the 2024/25 campaign without a single piece of silverware to show for their troubles, Real Madrid have certainly got a new era underway over the summer. Now under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Los Blancos are certainly enjoying life under the former Bayer Leverkusen boss. Enjoying a stellar start to proceedings, the Spanish giants will be looking to open their Champions League adventure with a heavyweight statement on home soil.

Madrid now drowns in indie coffee shops with coffee brewed from specialty beans that are flown in by winged unicorns and roasted to perfection. In this city, the green mermaid feels as relevant as a McDonald's next to Casa Botín (the oldest restaurant in the world, opened 51 years before the United States declared its independence), Dabiz Muñoz's three-Michelin-starred DiverXo, or any other of the best restaurants on the planet that reside in Madrid.

Real Madrid are reportedly planning to make a bid in the region of 60m (52m) for the transfer of Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton. Wharton is also a target for Manchester United, as covered in more detail in an exclusive column for the Daily Briefing. It seems the England international is also likely to have serious interest from Spain, with Defensa Central claiming Madrid could big bid money for him.

Journalist Daniele Longo revealed via his X account that the 22-year-old had an agreement with the Premier League giants back in July, but the move did not come to fruition, with Guerra signing new terms with Los Ches until 2029. Nevertheless, that fresh deal has not prevented Los Blancos from continuing to track the midfielder who once looked destined for Old Trafford.

MADRID -- NBA veteran Trey Lyles has made the jump overseas by joining Real Madrid. The forward, who played the past three-plus seasons for the Sacramento Kings, signed a one-year contract Wednesday with the Spanish powerhouse, which plays both domestically and in the EuroLeague. Lyles, 29, was selected 12th overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2015 NBA draft -- one spot ahead of former Kentucky teammate Devin Booker.
