Football: A summer transfer window like no other

Live Mint  

August has started and that means the European football summer transfer window is approaching the business end of proceedings. But Madrid have also invested in their future this transfer window with two key midfield acquisitions, including the transfer of England’s Jude Bellingham from German club Borussia Dortmund. While Ronaldo secured a move to Saudi club Al-Nassr earlier this year, Messi left PSG and joined Major League Soccer club Inter Miami, which is co-owned by former England and MLS star David Beckham. While experienced Premier League campaigned James Milner left the club after his contract expired, Klopp has seen club captain Jordan Henderson and defensive midfielder Fabinho depart for the Saudi Pro League. Under manager Erik ten Hag, who guided the club to their first trophy in six years last season and a top-4 finish, the club finally seems to be banishing their transfer window demons.
