Real Madrid

Madrid now drowns in indie coffee shops with coffee brewed from specialty beans that are flown in by winged unicorns and roasted to perfection. In this city, the green mermaid feels as relevant as a McDonald's next to Casa Botín (the oldest restaurant in the world, opened 51 years before the United States declared its independence), Dabiz Muñoz's three-Michelin-starred DiverXo, or any other of the best restaurants on the planet that reside in Madrid.

Journalist Daniele Longo revealed via his X account that the 22-year-old had an agreement with the Premier League giants back in July, but the move did not come to fruition, with Guerra signing new terms with Los Ches until 2029.

MADRID -- NBA veteran Trey Lyles has made the jump overseas by joining Real Madrid.

A move for Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano is being lined up by Real Madrid, according to Bild. Los Blancos are interested in signing the 26-year-old, who entered the final year of his contract at the Allianz Arena in the summer, as they continue to identify future options to reinforce their defence. The Bundesliga champions are expected to prioritise signing Upamecano to a new deal by beginning negotiations soon.

The Reds are expected to try for the player once again when the transfer window opens in January. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. Guehi will be out of contract in the summer, and he could be available for a nominal price in January. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool decide to sign him.

Real Madrid remain unhappy with LaLiga's refereeing, a club source has told ESPN, after a weekend which saw them have three goals disallowed.

Manchester City are reportedly preparing a staggering 150 million offer for Vinicius Jr in order to help them complete their 'dream attacking line-up.'

Currently, Vinicius Jr. has a 1 billion release clause in his contract.
