Aside from the fact it’s an option, not an obligation to buy, this looks an even bigger troll job by Atletico when you realise they could have offered to take Griezmann back earlier in the summer, when it might have helped Barcelona fit Messi’s new contract into their wage cap 😱

Los clubs-estado son tan peligrosos para el ecosistema del fútbol como la Superliga. Fuimos críticos con la Superliga porque destruye el fútbol europeo y somos igual de críticos con el PSG. Pérdidas Covid +300M; ingresos de TV en Francia -40%; ¿y +500M en salarios? Insostenible.

Club-states are as dangerous to the football ecosystem as the Super League. We were critical of the Super League because it destroys European football and we are just as critical of PSG. Covid losses + 300M; TV revenue in France -40%; And + 500M in salaries? Untenable.

Robert Lewandowski zapytany, czy włożyłby tęczową opaskę kapitańską wspierającą ruch LGBT: Nie miałbym z tym problemu. Każdy z nas jest człowiekiem, każdy ma swoje emocje, każdą osobę warto i trzeba wspierać. pic.twitter.com/2TfPqcVxrK

Robert Lewandowski when asked if he would wear a rainbow captain's armband supporting the LGBT movement: I wouldn't have a problem with that. Each of us is human, everyone has their own emotions, each person is worth [it] and should be supported.

There's a lot of drama around this one. PSG want him to stay, and supposedly are trying to woo him into signing another contract to prevent him leaving on a free. But Mbappe wants to join Real Madrid.
OP: Done. Transfer window closes; international football is on. It's also my birthday week (I will tell you when my birthday is, on my birthday so you can send me cheesecake emojis). Hopefully your Wednesday is going well!
