Lewandowski Turned Down €100m Saudi Offer
Robert Lewandowski rejected a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia last summer, his agent Pini Zahavi has revealed. Zahavi told FAKT the Barcelona striker was offered more than €100m a season by a Saudi club but chose to stay and compete for La Liga and the Champions League. 'He preferred to fight for La Liga and the Champions League, and he almost achieved both goals,' Zahavi said. Lewandowski scored 42 goals in 52 appearances last season, finishing second in the Pichichi Trophy standings behind Kylian Mbappé. Zahavi described Barcelona as the Pole's 'place on earth' and credited his comfort at the club for his performances. The 35-year-old, currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, missed the recent match against Como but is expected to return soon. His contract runs until 2026, with speculation over whether Barcelona will recruit a younger striker as a long-term replacement. The Catalan club have been linked with Slovenian forward Benjamin Šeško, who recently signed for Manchester United. The 22-year-old scored 39 goals in 86 appearances last season and is regarded as one of Europe's most promising talents. Tags: BarcelonaSaudi Arabia

Mbappé to Inherit Real Madrid's Iconic No. 10 Shirt
Kylian Mbappé will reportedly wear Real Madrid's No. 10 shirt from the 2025–26 season, following the departure of Luka Modrić. The French forward, who joined Los Blancos last summer, wore the No. 9 shirt in his debut campaign, scoring 44 goals in all competitions. That number previously belonged to Karim Benzema. With Modrić's exit confirmed, the No. 10 is now vacant. Mbappé wore the same number at Monaco and continues to do so with the French national team. According to ESPN , the plan was always for Mbappé to take over the shirt once it became available. Arda Güler had been linked to the number, but reports suggest Mbappé was the clear internal choice. He would have waited another year had Modrić extended his stay. Modrić wore the shirt for eight seasons during a trophy-laden spell in Madrid, winning 28 titles – the most by any player in the club's history. Mbappé now steps into one of the most prestigious shirts in football, previously worn by greats such as Ferenc Puskás and Mesut Özil.

Why Kylian Mbappé will miss Real Madrid's FIFA Club World Cup clash against Pachuca
By Aman Shukla Published on June 22, 2025, 11:44 IST The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is heating up, but Real Madrid fans are gutted to learn that their star forward, Kylian Mbappé, won't be taking the field against Pachuca on June 22 in Charlotte, North Carolina. This Group H showdown is a big one, and Mbappé's absence is a hot topic. So, what's keeping the French superstar out of this crucial match? Let's break it down. Reason for Mbappé's Absence Kylian's down with a rough case of acute gastroenteritis, a brutal stomach bug that had him in a Miami hospital earlier this week. Word from Marca and Real Madrid's camp is that he needed tests and some serious TLC. He's out of the hospital now, but he's not quite ready to run around in Charlotte's insane 35°C heat with humidity that feels like a sauna. The guy's human, not a machine, so the club's playing it safe. How Mbappé's Absence Affects Real Madrid Mbappé's no small loss. The guy's been a goal-scoring machine, racking up 43 goals this season and clinching both the European Golden Shoe and La Liga's Pichichi Trophy. Without him, Real Madrid's attack takes a hit, especially after their lackluster draw against Al Hilal. The team's also dealing with other injuries—Endrick's out with a hamstring issue, and defenders like Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão are sidelined. Thankfully, Antonio Rüdiger is back to bolster the defense. Stepping up in Mbappé's place is 21-year-old academy star Gonzalo García, who scored against Al Hilal and is set to lead the line against Pachuca. Fans are also looking to Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham to bring some magic. Alonso's been clear: 'Vini needs to be the difference-maker.' It's a tall order, but this squad's got depth. Real Madrid vs. Pachuca: What to Expect Pachuca, fresh off a 2-1 loss to Salzburg, will be no pushover. The Mexican side, led by Salomón Rondón and managed by interim boss Jaime Lozano, is hungry for an upset. Real Madrid beat Pachuca 3-0 in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final last December, but without Mbappé and with Pachuca's new energy, this match could be tighter. When Will Mbappé Return? The good news? Mbappé's recovery is on track. Alonso hinted he could be back for the Salzburg game, saying, 'We're hopeful he'll be ready soon.'

Kylian Mbappe update: Real Madrid superstar's condition ‘gradually improving'
Real Madrid began the Xabi Alonso era this week with a 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal without their top goalscorer of the season, Kylian Mbappe.

(Photo by) However, the France captain did not travel with the rest of the team for the training session today and as such is unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against Pachuca. Advertisement But given that Mbappe has started doing exercises, Real Madrid will hope to have him back training fully next week so that he can be ready for their final Group H game of the FIFA Club World Cup against RB Salzburg. Mbappe has enjoyed a fruitful debut campaign at Real Madrid even though the team missed out on major trophies. The French international won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup while also claiming the Pichichi Trophy for the top goalscorer in La Liga and the European Golden Boot. The attacker would have hoped to carry his good form forward at the Club World Cup and hit the 50-goal mark for the season, but has been hampered by the illness.
