According to earlier reports, the transfer is set to be worth a fixed €70 million plus a further €10 million in add-ons, with the English winger signing a contract until 2031. The club is also moving forward following the extension of coach Hansi Flick's contract until 30 June 2028. dennikn.sk ↗
The broader football picture was rounded out by reports on Lamin Yamal and Lionel Messi. Yamal is presented as a teenager building his own path without trying to be the next Messi.
