Following months of discussions conducted in the best interests of European football, UEFA, European Football Clubs (EFC), and Real Madrid CF announce that they have reached an agreement of principles for the well-being of European club football, respecting the principle of sporting merit with emphasis on long-term club sustainability and the enhancement of fan experience through the use of technology," a statement published by Madrid and UEFA said.
The Spanish club is interested in signing the International and they are preparing to offer around 75 million in order to sign him, as per TuttoJuve. The 25-year-old has established himself as a key player for Newcastle, and they will not want to sell him easily. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can convince the Premier League club.
I'm still not entirely convinced that a side with Kylian Mbappé, Vini Jr. and Bellingham in it can function consistently well, especially against elite opposition. It goes without saying that all three are top players. But in the season-and-a-half that the trio have been together at Madrid, how often have we seen the team play really well? It's happened in flashes -- in some Champions League games last season, for example, or last October's Clásico.
Real Madrid are once again casting a close eye over the Premier League's emerging talent pool, with reports from Fichajes claiming the Spanish giants are closely monitoring Myles LewisSkelly, one of the most highly rated young prospects currently on Arsenal's books. At just 19 years of age, Lewis-Skelly has already established himself as a special young talent within Arsenal's academy system and first-team environment. His development has not gone unnoticed beyond England, with Real Madrid now tracking his progress.
Real Madrid dramatically stayed within a point of Barcelona at the top of LaLiga after Kylian Mbappe scored in the 10th minute of stoppage time to secure a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano. Vinicius Junior's stunning opener was cancelled out by Jorge de Frutos early in the second half and looked likely to drop points at home even after the visitors were reduced to 10 men.
The problem is we aren't consistent in our play, we have to fix that, you can't have one day [playing well] and another not, a champion team does not do that, Mbappe told reporters. We deserve to be in this situation today. Benfica were better. Now we have to play two more playoff games. It hurts to have to play those. We wanted to have the time in February to work on our game.
They were dubbed "The Billion Generation." A group of attacking talent, and three youngsters in particular, who came up through the ranks at Palmeiras in Brazil and were destined for great things. But where? The terminology is important. This group of players -- Endrick, Luis Guilherme and Estêvão -- was not named after the senior titles they were going to win for the São Paulo-based club. It was assumed that they would not linger long enough to bring in much silverware.
Real Madrid could face trial for alleged environmental offences after a Spanish judge ruled there was sufficient evidence that loud concerts held at the club's Bernabeu stadium, which has been dubbed the torture-drome by local residents, could have broken the law. The Residents' Association for those Affected by the Bernabeu (AVPB) began legal action against the football club and the city council in 2024, saying a series of punishingly loud concerts held that spring and summer had made their lives a misery.
