Award SZN
I’m not interested in individual awards. But it’s a slow news day so this passes as DT news. Congrats to all the Madrid players for their awards.
Men’s TOTY: Thibaut Courtois; Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr.
Women’s TOTY: Olga Carmona
The Marathon Continues
Death. Taxes. Mbappe Saga. As we pass the “deadline” (though some say the deadline is Jan 31 and others say its a bluff). Mbappe news will either escalate OR become suddenly silent…Let’s just take a min to remember where we are right now aka no where…?
Mbappe has rejected an offer to join Real Madrid next summer, being “unimpressed” by the club’s deadline to sign a pre-contract agreement with him, according to @TimesSport. Mbappe will now explore a move to the Premier League.

⚡️ Excl. ⚡️
Kylian Mbappe already knows how much Real Madrid are prepared to pay to sign him this summer
The terms are lower than in 2022 but KM would still be the highest paid player in the squad by far
