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 once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has opened up on the toxic atmosphere that followed his high-profile departure from Liverpool to Real Madrid, revealing the devastating personal toll of being branded a "rat" by his own suporters. The England international, who ended a 20-year association with the Reds last summer, has addressed the vitriol he faced upon his return to Anfield for the first time.
Thibaut Courtois has not held back after former Manchester City superstar Rodri opted to join Barcelona over Real Madrid this summer. The Belgian goalkeeper suggested the midfielder has missed out on a major opportunity by choosing the Blaugrana over the Bernabeu outfit.
Jose Mourinho has marked his sensational return to the Real Madrid dugout with a fiery defence of Vinicius Junior, claiming the Brazilian superstar is being subjected to "bullying" by both opponents and supporters. The legendary Portuguese coach, who officially began his second stint in the Spanish capital on Saturday, witnessed his side secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at Espanyol.
