Paris FC wants to put the means
Paris FC , recently promoted to Ligue 1, is approaching the 2025-2026 season with high ambitions thanks to the financial support of the Arnault family, its new owner. The club is aiming for a top-eight finish this year and plans to invest heavily despite the difficult economic climate in French football. An annual budget of €120 million to €130 million has been allocated, including €60 million to €70 million for the transfer window, making PFC one of the major players in the market behind giants like PSG and OM. Already active, the Parisians have recruited Moses Simon and the young Nhoa Sangui. Other reinforcements are expected in several positions. At the same time, the club is developing its infrastructure, with work at Orly and Jean-Bouin, and also plans to strengthen the women's section.
The Madrid press is losing patience
" It's good to draw, it's time to convince ." This is how the newspaper As opens the day before Real Madrid 's match against Salzburg this evening. The Casa Blanca is under pressure after criticism from AS , which pointed to a worrying start to the Club World Cup, particularly during the match against Al Hilal, where the team showed little. Despite a difficult victory against Pachuca, doubts persist about Real Madrid's ability to truly convince on the pitch. Against Salzburg, a young but revamped opponent, Madrid must imperatively raise its level to ensure qualification for the round of 16. The return of Rüdiger will be crucial to compensate for the absence of Asensio, who was sent off in the last match. Mbappé, still not called up, and Rodrygo, left on the bench, highlight the challenges facing the team.
Nico Williams at the center of an open war
Athletic Bilbao is concerned about FC Barcelona 's financial situation and has officially alerted the RFEF and LaLiga, believing that Barça is not respecting the 1:1 economic rule, which limits spending to revenue generated. This move is aimed at protecting the Basque club's interests in the face of a possible transfer of highly sought-after Nico Williams . Barça president Joan Laporta rejects these accusations and asserts that the club is respecting this rule and can sign normally. Athletic wants to ensure strict control before any transfer. The conflict illustrates the tension between the two clubs over financial and sporting management.
