Résumé Complet

Vinicius dazzled against Morocco and Haiti, helping Brazil top Group C with four points after his stunning equalizer and playmaking masterclass under coach Carlo Ancelotti. This hot streak has reignited arguments over whether his flair and trophies—like the 2024 FIFA Best award—put him ahead of Mbappe, who scored twice for France in a 3-1 win over Senegal to become their all-time leading men's scorer. Fans point to last season's tensions at Madrid, where Mbappe's arrival overlapped their roles on the left wing amid a trophyless campaign, but many call for harmony, noting both stars are thriving at the World Cup.

Point Clé

Vinicius Jr lit up the pitch with a goal and two assists in Brazil's 3-0 rout of Haiti, earning man-of-the-match for the second straight game. Now Real Madrid fans are fiercely debating if he's overtaken teammate Kylian Mbappe.

Résumé Complet

The 23-year-old Frenchman, signed from Lyon in 2023 for £26 million, starred in 34 Premier League matches this season with two goals, three assists, and eight clean sheets.

Fans are divided: some Chelsea supporters question the price given his form, while others defend it in today's inflated full-back market—no bids have landed yet.

Point Clé

Malo Gusto has locked down the right-back spot at Chelsea, but Manchester City's interest is testing the waters with a massive £75 million tag.

The club has contacted Flamengo with a €9 million (£7.7m) offer for the 27-year-old Brazilian, who joined them last summer after three years and 101 games at Spurs. Royal helped Flamengo win Copa Libertadores and Brasileirão but has faced injuries and limited starts. For Unai Emery's side, he offers Premier League experience and versatility at right-back or centre-back, filling gaps as Matty Cash's deputies depart—all while staying PSR-compliant. Flamengo needs cash after a recent sale, and talks with agents show progress ahead of Brazil's Serie A restart on July 22.

Point Clé

Résumé Complet

The 29-year-old became a free agent on July 1 when his Fulham contract expired, despite their offer of new terms, following his best Premier League season in 2025-26 where he contributed a goal involvement every other game in 36 appearances. Leeds, who nearly signed him last summer before a deadline-day collapse, are now pushing hard with talks described as an aggressive approach, offering a long-term deal, pay rise, and signing bonus; he'd fit perfectly as a left-footed No. 10 or right winger alongside Welsh teammates like Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon. Competition is fierce from Aston Villa, Everton, Benfica, and even Champions League clubs, but sources say Leeds hold pole position for the creative talent fans see as key to climbing the table after last season's 14th-place finish.

Point Clé

Harry Wilson lit up Fulham's attack last season with 10 goals and seven assists, and now Leeds United are making a strong move to bring the Welsh winger home on a free transfer.
