Nico Williams remains one of the most loyal figures in modern football after committing his long-term future to Athletic Club despite intense interest from Europe's biggest heavyweights.

Spanish defender Dani Carvajal has officially addressed the media for the first time following his sensational move to Getafe. The legendary right-back, who enjoyed a trophy-laden decade at the Santiago Bernabeu, revealed the motivations behind his decision to remain in the Spanish capital with the Azulones.

Jude Bellingham has agreed a contract extension with Real Madrid, securing his long-term future in the Spanish capital until June 2031. The English midfielder has returned to his finest form and continues to cement his role as a true dressing room leader.

Barcelona star Raphinha has made the stunning admission that he had already decided to leave the club before Hansi Flick’s arrival changed everything.
