Our experts comment on the weeks big story
“The biggest moment of the transfer window so far hasn't been a signing, but a contract renewal. Erling Haaland's announcement that he has renewed his contract until 2033 has been seen as a statement in multiple ways. Firstly, that Haaland, who has always been linked with a move to Spain, would commit for nine years suggests he has been sold on the project's future. Secondly, this deal, coupled with City's likely increased spending this window, suggests they're confident about the upcoming Premier League charges verdict and feel emboldened to spend again.”

FootballTransfers Future Star ⭐️
Konstantinos Karetsas is an exceptional 17-year-old attacking talent currently playing at KRC Genk. A technically gifted left-footed player who excels as both an attacking midfielder and winger, Karetsas combines excellent ball control with outstanding creative vision.
Despite his young age, he's already making an impact in Belgium's top division after breaking through the Genk first team last season. His futsal-esque close control, ambidexterity, and ability to execute killer passes make him stand out.
While his slight frame can be a disadvantage in physical battles, his low center of gravity and agility allow him to navigate tight spaces effectively. Karetsas is definitely one to keep any eye on for the future.
