AS Gabes Panoramica

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is likely to once again be bust, with some huge names set to make big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has conceded that winning the Ballon d'Or was never a personal childhood dream because he simply deemed the achievement impossible. The Spain international reflected on his historic individual triumph while tipping international team-mate Lamine Yamal to eventually claim football's ultimate individual accolade.

Jordi Alba has credited Unai Emery with changing the course of his career after the Aston Villa boss converted him from a winger into a left-back at Valencia. The former Barcelona and Spain star admitted he initially resisted the move but believes it ultimately helped him reach the highest level of the game.

FC Barcelona have identified Bernardo Silva as their top transfer target, but his move now looks set to turn into a real waiting game.
