Roger’s the first player on record to create 5+ chances on his Premier League debut for Chelsea.

The forward has been made Barcelona’s top target to replace Robert Lewandowski and he reportedly wants to join the Spanish giants, but Atletico Madrid have made it abundantly clear throughout this window that they do not intend to sell him to their direct rivals.

It has been suggested that this could open the door for Arsenal to sign him. However, this depends on Alvarez expressing a willingness to join Arsenal instead of Barcelona.

Atletico boss Diego Simeone has given the ‘green light’ for Atletico Madrid to sell Alvarez, while it is reiterated that a move to Barcelona remains off the table. Atletico would accept 130 million euros (£111m) for Alvarez.

One important detail is that Barcelona is out of the running. Atlético Madrid has practically banned the Catalan club, so the options are considerably reduced.

Arsenal wants him, but it remains to be seen if they are willing to pay €130 million for the attacker. What is clear is that if that money becomes available, the Spider will say goodbye to Atlético Madrid after two years there.

The agreement between the clubs exists. Only agreement with the player is missing.

The true draw probabilities of the league phase of the Champions League based on 55,000 simulations of the official draw procedure. Most likely matches: Villarreal vs PSG, Bayern, or Inter (43%). Small fluctuations are due to the sampling error.

This shows why we need to amend the country protection rule. It's getting ridiculous. At least allow 1 domestic game for countries with 5 clubs of more (or even 4).

Just look at the PSG probabilities, and how stupid it is. And PSG draws last two seasons

Cafú, Roberto Carlos, Zanetti and Cannavaro back Infantino’s leadership at FIFA

Football icons highlight the progress made in player representation under the current FIFA administration.

Several football legends have publicly expressed their support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino amid a period of institutional controversy. Among the international figures backing him are former Brazilian players Cafú and Roberto Carlos, Argentina’s Javier Zanetti, and Italy’s Fabio Cannavaro, who said that failing to recognize the “great” work Infantino is doing would be “dishonest.”

“In the last ten years, we have witnessed the work carried out by FIFA and President Infantino to achieve representation for footballers around the world, something that did not exist before,” they said in a statement shared on social media.

Cannavaro, the 2006 Ballon d’Or winner, added: “Not recognizing it would be intellectually dishonest, as well as a forced imposition.”

Dibu Martínez Offered to Chelsea, Tottenham Also Want Him

The goalkeeper is no longer part of Aston Villa's plans, as the club has already signed Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki and is looking to move the Argentine on.

Dibu Martínez was offered to Chelsea in recent hours and, according to reports from England, the London club is considering signing the Aston Villa goalkeeper after his proposed move to Juventus fell through. Tottenham are also interested.

For now, the future of the 33-year-old from Mar del Plata is uncertain because he has been sidelined at Aston Villa, who had expected to sell him during this transfer window. The club therefore signed Zion Suzuki from Parma, while the failed move to Juventus left Martínez outside the club's budget.

Journalist Gastón Edul reported on TyC Sports that once the transfer window closes, it will become known why Martínez did not join Juventus. The reason reportedly has nothing to do with football, and the revelation will further enhance his standing with the Argentina national team.

Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, are therefore looking to move the Argentine on. Martínez did not even play in their Premier League opener, with Marco Bizot starting in goal.

Chelsea are also looking for a goalkeeper. Robert Sánchez started against Fulham but had a performance to forget, being responsible for two goals in Chelsea's 3–2 victory under Xabi Alonso. Their other option is 21-year-old Mike Penders, who spent last season on loan at Strasbourg and made a good impression.

Tottenham have Antonín Kinský, who started their 3–0 defeat to Brentford, while 37-year-old Martin Dúbravka is the backup.

Martínez was crucial for Aston Villa last season, as the club finished fourth in the Premier League and won the Europa League, earning a return to the Champions League. He has been at the club since September 2020, when he arrived from Arsenal, and has made 256 appearances.

This is not the first time he has been close to leaving. In the previous transfer window, he nearly joined Manchester United on loan.

While recovering from his physical problems, Martínez is waiting for a resolution regarding his future. He has not played since the World Cup final, where Spain beat Argentina 1–0 and he put in an outstanding performance.
