News Jose Mourinho imposes strict new rules at Real Madrid with harsh fines. The days when the nutritionist was at the players' service are also over; now it's the other way around. They no longer eat what they want, but what they are told.

"Mourinho has eliminated the €200 or €300 fines for being late to training because he considers them ridiculous for people who earn millions," Diaz explained.

The manager has also changed expectations surrounding injured players, as recovery is no longer something players will manage independently away from the club whenever they choose.

"The days of getting injured and recovering wherever you please are over, and if you need to continue your recovery in the afternoon, you work at Valdebebas," explains the senior journalist

Furthermore, nutrition has come under similar scrutiny. Rather than players deciding what they want to eat, Mourinho has placed greater emphasis on following the club's nutritional instructions.

The matter is settled: Julián Álvarez confirms his future after Barcelona offer

Gastón Edul put an end to the speculation and revealed where La Araña will continue his career.

Julián Álvarez has put an end to the speculation after emerging as Barcelona’s top target in the transfer market. Faced with Atlético Madrid’s firm stance, he has confirmed that he will remain at the club for another season under Diego Simeone. Gastón Edul revealed the news on Tuesday morning, bringing a pause to the transfer saga that had kept all of Europe and Argentina on edge.

In recent days, Julián Álvarez had been pushing to continue his career at Barcelona. However, Atlético Madrid’s hierarchy remained inflexible and refused to budge. They rejected every offer from Barcelona for the former River player, leaving a move to the Premier League as the only remaining option for the World Cup winner.

However, the striker put the brakes on that possibility and rejected a move to Arsenal.

“Julián Álvarez will remain at Atlético Madrid. It is a ‘personal’ decision he has made after rejecting not only Arsenal, but also other offers. Today, he is training with the team. Once the rest of the players finish, he will have an individual session with Luis Piñedo to catch up with the squad,” journalist Belén Sánchez García confirmed.

The news was not limited to reports from Spain. Gastón Edul, the journalist who closely follows the Argentina national team, also confirmed that La Araña will not be moving elsewhere in the short term.

“Julián Álvarez will remain at Atlético Madrid during this summer transfer window,” the journalist said on Tuesday morning.

When will Julián Álvarez’s future change?

According to ESPN, the saga between Julián and Barcelona will have more chapters in the coming months, meaning he will have to keep waiting for the chance to play alongside Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

“Barcelona has already informed the Argentine that it will only resume attempts to sign him in the next transfer window. At this point, it seems practically impossible for Julián to leave Atlético Madrid, so he would remain at the club for at least the next six months,” the outlet reported.

News Enzo Fernández’s move to Manchester City could be worth €160M in total, which would make it the most expensive transfer in Premier League history

Enzo – City move imminent… for €160m!

According to information obtained by AS, Manchester City and Chelsea are finalizing the transfer of the Argentine for a record fee: €140 million plus add-ons. Everything has reportedly been agreed with the player, with only confirmation needed before he travels to Manchester.

Enzo Fernández will become a Manchester City player. The deal is now almost done. According to AS, City and Chelsea have agreed on a fee of around €140 million for the Argentine, making him the second-most expensive transfer in Premier League history, behind only Alexander Isak’s €150 million move to Liverpool.

Enzo will sign a five-year contract until 2031, with an option for an additional season. He is expected to travel to Manchester in the coming hours to undergo his medical and sign his new contract with the club.

It was set to be one of the summer’s biggest moves, and it is now on the verge of becoming a reality. Chelsea and Xabi Alonso gave further indications that Enzo’s departure was imminent by leaving him out of the squad against Luton in the League Cup. After several days of intense negotiations, City are now ready to break the bank for the midfielder.

For Enzo Maresca, the other Enzo had been a priority for his new project for some time. His departure would also allow him to reunite with a coach who has done everything possible to work with him again. Chelsea fans made their feelings clear during the opening-day win over Fulham, signaling that their relationship with the Argentine had come to an end. The player was then left out of the squad for last weekend’s match against Brighton by mutual agreement with the club and coaching staff.

Enzo arrives at the Etihad with the difficult task of helping fill the void left by Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, who has since joined Barcelona. His profile is completely different from Rodri’s, but he is expected to become one of the major figures of City’s new era. He can operate virtually anywhere across midfield, with a tendency to push forward. Last season, he recorded 15 goals and seven assists in 54 appearances — the best individual numbers of his career — despite Chelsea’s disappointing campaign, which saw them go through three different coaches in nine months.

Mission impossible

Chelsea now face the difficult task of replacing what had been their biggest star before deadline day. No replacement, no sale. With the signing of Camara now almost ruled out because of commission issues, several options are being considered.

Alex Scott is the favorite, with Chelsea having already made three offers to Bournemouth, although the club insists he is “not for sale.” Adam Wharton is another option, but Crystal Palace are similarly unwilling to let him leave. Martín Zubimendi is wanted by Xabi Alonso but remains a key, non-transferable player for Mikel Arteta. Roma are demanding at least €60 million for Manu Koné, while Chelsea have even made inquiries about Eduardo Camavinga’s representatives. There is also another mystery target whose name has yet to emerge.

Chelsea certainly have the money, especially after the huge sales of Liam Delap to Nottingham Forest (€55m), Nico Jackson to Aston Villa (€70m), Cucurella to Real Madrid (€60m), and now Enzo himself.

In other words, the project inherited by Xabi Alonso is set for a complete reset on deadline day. The machinery at Stamford Bridge is running at full speed, with a huge amount of work to do in very little time.
