The main reason I criticise Fabrizio Romano despite his transfer sources being excellent; if someone from FIFA came to him with this story, do you think he would have run it?
EXCLUSIVE: Fifa's president Gianni Infantino is planning to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors under a scheme that could potentially earn him tens of millions of pounds.
Investor discussions held with figures close to the Trump administration, say sources.

Bayer 04 will have to do without Kennet Eichhorn for the time being. Our number 18 has been diagnosed with a metabolic disorder that requires treatment.
Get well soon, Kenny! ❤️🩹
Opposition aside, it always takes a certain level of confidence from a youth player to go on a run like that. Especially when it’s not an offensive player who is super encouraged to dribble, super encouraging. Ndiaye is brilliant
I need this more than anything. Kompany and his staff successfully pushing the players through a 4000-5000+ minute season with few injuries gives me hope for managing Musiala’s recovery well.
Bayern don't want to take any risks with Jamal Musiala or put unnecessary pressure on him. A plan, coordinated with Vincent Kompany and the rehab/fitness trainers, has been put in place. Musiala will not be with the team in Asia to avoid the travel and the PR activities on tour, which would have added further strain. Instead, he will stay in Munich and work individually. When the team returns from Asia, Musiala is to be gradually integrated into team training. The goal is to get him fit in time for the Super Cup against Dortmund. From there, he will be eased back into top form, this time without the pressure of the World Cup that was put on him last season. The people in charge are optimistic that Musiala will rediscover the ease in his game and his best level this season [@StefanKumberger, @SPORT1]
The fact that Kompany is able to consistently push such high standards and intensity onto the squad, without the usual burnout/injuries/frustration (think Bielsa) is such a good example of his personal skills and the quality of his coaching and medical staff
There was a lot of intensity in today's training session, much to Vincent Kompany's liking. In the midst of it all, Kompany yelled at Kim Min-jae ahead of a challenge: "Minjae, kill him!" He was referring to youth player Vincent Manuba, who was then asked by Kompany: "Are you scared?!" - The 11v11 training match ended 1-0, with the decisive goal scored by Arijon Ibrahimović [@BILD]
Bayern finally realising that the PR game needs to be played. Radio silence left Lewandowski without a Ballon d’Or, can’t make the same mistake with Kane. He’s been the best but not head and shoulders clear so PR campaign will be needed
The revisionism on the Coutinho loan cracks me up. 20m loan fee with 120m option to buy and he was average at best. Those 2 goals against Barca carry his Bayern legacy so hard but truth be told he did nothing of note
Coutinho transfer:
• Loan fee: €20m
• Option to buy: €120m
• Salary: According to BILD, Coutinho earns €13m NET per year at Barcelona. At Bayern, he will not earn much less than that, which comfortably makes him the new highest paid player at Bayern.
