This alarm has finally prompted Mbappe to step away from the pitch to seek a lasting cure.

    Osimhen explains refusal to celebrate against Juve

    The sight of Victor Osimhen finding the back of the net at the Allianz Stadium is a familiar one for Italian football fans, but his latest strike in the Champions League carried a completely different weight. While his goal for Galatasaray added another chapter to his prolific European campaign - despite a 3-2 defeat on the night that nevertheless secured a 7-5 aggregate victory and a place in the round of 16 - it was his stoic reaction, or lack thereof, that truly caught the eye. Despite the high stakes of the continental clash, the Nigerian superstar opted for silence over celebration, later revealing that his history with the man in the opposing dugout, Luciano Spalletti, dictated his conduct on the night.

    Napoli's secret clause blocks Osimhen Juve move

    The prospect of Victor Osimhen wearing the famous black and white stripes of Juventus has recently become a tantalising "what if" for the Bianconeri faithful. However, any hopes of a sensational return to Serie A for the Nigerian powerhouse have been met with a cold, hard financial reality. It has emerged that Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis orchestrated a brilliant piece of contractual engineering when sanctioned the striker's move to Galatasaray, effectively locking the door on a domestic rivals' swoop through a secret "anti-Italy" penalty clause.

The former CEO of the German giants is the latest heavyweight to speak out against the rising power of intermediaries, following similar criticisms from Matthias Sammer and Uli Hoeness. Rummenigge warned that the sport is entering a dangerous territory where the financial demands of agents and the resulting salary explosions are becoming impossible for the average fan to justify or even understand.
