EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ — The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup had hoped to highlight the ability of the United States to hold top-class global sporting events. All across the country, matches were held to see the first edition of the expanded competition play to a dramatic conclusion. Thirty-two teams from around the globe convened to determine the champion of the club football universe. At the end of the tournament, Premier League side Chelsea met the defending UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain, with the Blues stunning PSG 3-0 for the title. With the 2025 tournament concluding and America turning toward hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the U.S. president was in the stands at the final at MetLife Stadium.

Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he would be at the game, spending the weekend at his Bedminster golf resort beforehand. The U.S. president has forged a close relationship with FIFA chief Gianni Infantino, who sat alongside him and his wife Melania at Meadowlands. World football's governing body announced Monday it would open an office in New York City's Trump Tower. Infantino has made two separate appearances in the final week of the Club World Cup at Trump Tower, and he has accompanied Trump on multiple trips abroad. According to reports, Trump's appearance at the game could potentially cost upwards of $2.5 million when considering the massive security required for such a public appearance at a crowded venue. It's not the first time a major U.S. political official has attended a Club World Cup match this summer, as J.D. Vance was on hand to watch Borussia Dortmund defeat Ulsan at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati earlier in the month-long tournament.

I was a bit confused, yeah."

Barcelona Reject Chelsea Offer That Includes €45M-Rated Man Utd, PSG-Linked Attacker
Manchester United and PSG have been linked with Christopher Nkunku this year, as questions continue to grow over his future at Chelsea. Nkunku joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 in a £52 million move, but injuries and strong competition have limited his impact. With doubts surrounding his role, transfer speculation is starting to build. Journalist Ben Jacobs previously reported that PSG explored a potential reunion with Nkunku earlier this year but chose not to move forward. Meanwhile, TEAMtalk reported Saturday that Chelsea are open to selling and could drop their asking price to around €45 million as they look to trim their wage bill. The report also notes that Nkunku, who scored 15 goals in 48 appearances last season, is believed to be the club's fourth-highest-paid player. Inter are also said to be keeping an eye on the situation and could explore a loan or other flexible options. Man Utd, PSG target won't be going to BarcelonaAccording to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have rejected Chelsea's proposal to include Nkunku as part of a deal for Spain midfielder Fermin Lopez. In July, L'Équipe reported that Nkunku is expected to cost between €35 million and €40 million this summer. Bayern Munich are among the few clubs Nkunku would be open to joining, but there haven't been any concrete talks yet. Manchester United and Inter Milan have recently made inquiries, while Bayern Munich remain interested. However, they are currently focused on other priorities.
