Rodrigo Hernandez is officially a Manchester City player after the Citizens paid his 70-million-euro release clause to sign him on a five-year contract.
The central midfielder leaves Atletico Madrid for the Premier League champions only a year after he returned to his boyhood club from Villarreal for 20 million euros, with a further five in add-ons.
Diego Simeone loses one of his key men in midfield to Pep Guardiola, who was key in Rodri's decision having convinced the Spain international with a proposal to make him the new Sergio Busquets of Manchester City.
Rodri becomes the second most expensive signing in the club's history, only surpassed by the 76 million euros paid for Kevin de Bruyne and beating the 67.8 million euros paid for Riyad Mahrez last summer and the 65 million euros spent on Aymeric Laporte in January 2018.

@gilbert-gentania said in World Football News:
Joao Felix has officially completed his move to Atletico Madrid from Benfica in what is a huge coup for Los Rojiblancos.
At just 19 years of age Felix had been one of the most coveted players in Europe, yet Atletico were able to fight off Manchester City to lure the Portuguese starlet to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, where he has signed a seven-year contract.
The second striker will be the face of Atletico's project as they move past the Antoine Griezmann era, while his 127.2 million euro price tag - which accounts for Felix's 120m euro release clause, six million euros paid as interest for paying in instalments, and 1.2m euros for Porto, where he first started out as a youth player - means that he not only becomes Los Rojiblancos' record signing but the fourth most expensive purchase of all time, only behind Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Philippe Coutinho.
Back on May 17, MARCA reported that Atletico had identified Felix as the player they wanted to build their new project around, and one and a half months later they have made his arrival a reality.
Finally, he choose my favourite club as his destination!
Yeah, i think now just time can answer when the Griezmann transfer will happen after Atletico Madrid officially bought Felix...

Gianluigi Buffon is finally going back to his former club- Juventus
At nearly 41 years of age, the former worlds best goalkeeper is going to join his former club, Juventus from PSG. After all, Juventus was the club The Italian played in for nearly 17 seasons before he moved to Paris for one season. The 2006 World cup winner has gone to Turin to perform his medical examinations but, no price has been disclosed.
I feel this is good for Buffon as it has previously showed, that he is extremely comfortable at Turin in the form of the trophies he has received during his tenure there (9 Serie A titles, four Italian Cups. Whats even more, is that he just has to make eight more appearances in the Serie A before he breaks the record for the number of appearances which, is currently held by AC Milan legend, Paulo Maldini (647).
Over the years Buffon has accumulated several well-earned trophies. His latest one being the French league champion at PSG. I hope he can continue adding on to his trophy cabinet once he joins Juventus!

Ander Herrera goes to PSG
After spending four seasons at Old Trafford, the Spanish midfielder is going to join the French powerhouse, PSG. It was speculated that he was going to join PSG towards the end of the season so, it wasn't really a surprise for anyone! Ander is already in Paris and it was released two days ago that he has joined the club. He has joined PSG on a free transfer and his value was 25 million.
As much as I hate to say this (because I am a United fan), I think it is good that Herrera is going on to explore other leagues in the football world. He has already played in the La Liga and Premier League and now will go to Ligue 1. Ander is still considerably young and a quality midfielders so he should go around and explore as much as he can before he becomes older. Once he is older, after exploring a lot of the different leagues, he will have a better understanding of where he will play his final few years at before he retires.
One man cannot succeed alone, he always needs an acquaintance. Someone to trust.

@pikash seems understoodable, Herrera as the subs for Rabiot, haha
-
@gilbert-gentania Haha no, Rabiot just joined Juventus

Hello!
I made yesterday a not profissional highlights video of a football player called Tomás Esteves (it was my first experience, in fact). He is just 17 yet, play in FC Porto, in right back position and he's one of the portuguese hopes to the future.
I ask you to watch my video, like it if you did, and give to us your feedback about Tomás.
My regards
-
@gilbert-gentania Oh yeah, probably!

Antoine Griezmann is moving to Barcelona!
At the age of 29, the world cup winner, Antoine Griezmann, will be moving to Barcelona from Atletico Madrid. After spending nearly five seasons in Atletico Madrid, Antoine will be moving to another powerhouse. The signing has already been announced and he has performed his medical examinations. The transfer fee was 120 million, 10 million less than his value was.
i feel that its good that he is moving to another club in the La Liga as he is most comfortable in the league as he has spent nearly 11 years in it.
I hope the French striker enjoys his time at Camp Nou as much as he can before another phase of his life arises.

From top class athletes and world idols like Messi , people and fans should always expect top class behaviors and absolute integrity as well.

It's more than just a broken bone .. It's about unfortunate moments and broken hearts 🥺

@SUPERNOVA-8 - I hope he has a speedy recovery, he's a great player. But the way Son went in from behind and aurier from the side didn't help when Andre Gomes at all when he fell - it was awful...
-
@Suleman____f Couldn't agree more with you. It's one of the bad sides of football and the worst thing that can ever happen to an athlete.
We all wish and pray for him and for a fast recovery.

A new star is born and his name is Dani Olmo. Dinamo Zagreb youngster scored his first goal for Spain national team in his debut and it took him only 3 minutes. Brace yourselves, the wonderkid is here to stay!
🇭🇷Captain of the CROATIA national team and 3rd placed on the first ever Nations Cup tournament 🇭🇷
-
@ianthebean-byrne Yeah I agree he has sort of declined since going through so many injuries. A few years ago, he used to play for the England National Team, but a better, younger Declan
has replaced him in the role of holding midfielder. -
@IvanAndal Dinamo will take 50 Millions € or more
