Struggling to understand Bayern Munich’s preparations for the new season, we drafted in The Athletic’s Seb Stafford-Bloor to explain it all.

With Southampton demanding a whopping £50m for Tyler Dibling, we ask stats expert Ben McAleer whether that fee is justified.

We have the latest from Man Utd and Newcastle’s battle for Benjamin Šeșko.

Plus, encouraging news for Everton, a positive Sheffield Wednesday update, and a truly unsettling development regarding Real Madrid.
