@AFTVMedia In all my years covering this iconic sport as a journalist, I thought I had seen it all, but North London’s set-piece-dependent project abandoning football for fan fiction was certainly not on my bingo card.
🚨 BREAKING: BRADLEY BARCOLA TO LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB — NOW IT’S TIME! #LFC
Paris Saint-Germain and England’s greatest and most mystical footballing institution, Liverpool Football Club, have reached an agreement for Bradley Barcola worth €100m (£86m) guaranteed, €20m (£17m) in easily achievable add-ons and a further layer of highly unrealistic bonuses in the region of €15m (£13m), largely included for presentational purposes, meaning the realistic package, as consistently reported, will not exceed €120m (£103m).
Bradley Barcola will now make his journey to the most mystical banks of the Mersey, where the lights of Anfield burn beneath the eternal Liver Bird and the echoes of generations, European nights and immortal triumphs still wander through the air, to undergo his medical, complete the final formalities and put pen to paper before writing his own chapter beneath the sacred weight, timeless romance, unrivalled mystique and unparalleled history of football’s grandest institution.
The exclusive story first revealed in April is now done. Bradley Barcola has chosen to walk beneath the sacred wings of the Liver Bird, into the mystique and grandeur of Anfield, as time itself, once again, stands beside me as my firmest ally.
NOW IT’S TIME!
GONE TOO FAR FT. DEBBIE
OUT NOW
We started this record many years ago & knew it felt special but could never find the right voice to finish it.
After hearing Debbie’s incredible voice, we reached out to see if she would be up for collaborating and finally, after all this time, we’re excited it’s found the light of day.
Big up, Will & Saul.

Apple CarPlay is installed in over 800 million vehicles worldwide.
Most drivers use it for 3 things: Maps. Music. Phone calls.
That's a fully integrated car operating system doing the job of a $20 phone mount and a Bluetooth speaker.
A sales rep who drives 35,000 miles a year told me: "I spend 2–3 hours a day in my car. For 4 years I used CarPlay for directions and Spotify. That's it. Then a friend who works at Apple showed me what CarPlay actually does. My car became a mobile office. My commute became productive time. I haven't missed a meeting, forgotten an errand, or answered a spam call in my car since."
"CarPlay in 2026 has widgets that predict your next destination before you type it. It has Shortcuts that run 5 automations the moment you start your car. It has a Driving Focus mode that silences everything except the people who matter. It has offline maps that work in zero-signal dead zones. It has smart home controls that open your garage door before you pull into the driveway. And it remembers where you parked every single time."
"Most drivers are using maybe 15% of what CarPlay can do. The other 85% is sitting right there on the dashboard, waiting."
Here are 11 CarPlay features that turn your commute from dead time into productive time:

DELETING YOUR BROWSING HISTORY DOESN'T DELETE YOUR BROWSING HISTORY. GOOGLE KEEPS ITS OWN COPY, TIED TO YOUR ACCOUNT, ON A PAGE MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER OPENED. HERE'S HOW TO WIPE ALL OF IT:
Trabzonspor keep raising the bar when it comes to weaving culture, humanity and football together.
In the middle of an open game against Ferencvaros, Isaac and Salah’s daughter walks on the pitch together.
There is no rush nor awkwardness. Just football making room for innocence, family and community.
This is bigger than the game. This is how a football club becomes part of the fabric of its people.
Ne güzel.
Fenway Sports Group (FSG) sold close to 40 per cent of Liverpool Football Club to the consortium including U.S. billionaire Jeff Bezos.
Early suggestions on both sides of the transaction indicated the purchased stake was in the range of approximately 30 per cent to one-third, but The Athletic can reveal the figure is actually much closer to 40 per cent, according to sources with knowledge of the deal.
1892 Holdings, a consortium headed up and led by Amit Bhatia, the former Queens Park Rangers co-owner who will take up the position of vice-chairman at Liverpool, has purchased around a 38 per cent shareholding in Liverpool.
That is a much more significant share of the club, while there is also an option for the consortium to buy a controlling stake in the Premier League side, as per the terms of their agreement with FSG, in the next 12 months.

Amazingly, The Chameleons never appeared on British TV. This video was filmed for a European music show in 1983, around the time of their debut album, 'Script Of The Bridge'.

🚨 Alexander Isak on Liverpool’s intensity in training:
🎙️ “The first thing you notice is the intensity. Every session feels like a match because that’s the standard the coaching staff demand. There’s no room to switch off for even a second.
“The manager wants us to press together, recover the ball quickly, and attack with purpose. It’s demanding physically, but it also sharpens you mentally because every decision has to be made at full speed. What has impressed me most isn’t just the quality of the players it’s the hunger.
“Whether it’s a senior player or one of the younger lads, everyone trains with the same mentality. You can already see the ideas taking shape, and the chemistry in the squad is growing every day. If we keep working with this level of commitment, I genuinely believe this team can achieve something special.”
