And by throwing a blanket, what Football Daily really means to say is throwing a hissy fit, a wobbly, a tantrum. The legendary footballer, reduced to something of a tap-in artist these days in a league of at best questionable quality, seemingly threw his toys out of his Bugatti on Sunday after deciding that not enough investment has been made in his club, Al-Nassr, in comparison to the other Saudi ones.

Manchester City's relationship with Kalvin Phillips appears to be nearing a decisive breaking point, with the Premier League giants now prepared to sanction his exit in the final hours of the transfer window. Signed from Leeds United in 2022 for a fee believed to be around 45 million, Phillips' move to the Etihad has failed to deliver on expectations, and City's patience has now worn thin, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

Ronaldo is the only foreign player worth what he earns because of the global exposure he brings to the league and the country. Many others are paid far more than they deserve.

Bayern are taking PSG's interest in Dayot Upamecano very seriously, due to the French club's financial resources and the player's agent Moussa Sissoko, who is very close to PSG and also represents Ousmane Dembélé. Bayern are prepared to offer Upamecano a pay rise (currently earns €16m gross per year including all bonuses). He would then be one of the highest earners, just one tier below Kane and Musiala.

Arsenal are reportedly now expected to ramp up contract talks with Bukayo Saka after officially announcing William Saliba's new deal. The Gunners will be delighted with some of their recent work, with sporting director Andrea Berta managing to tie down other star names such as Gabriel Magalhaes, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri as well. Saliba was another important deal to get done, and Saka should be next, with the England international likely set to earn a big pay rise, according to talkSPORT. The report suggests Saka could be set to earn over 250,000 a week, moving him closer to being one of the north London club's highest earners. According to FourFourTwo, Saka currently earns 195,000 a week, so it could be a significant bump up in his wages.

Harry Kane's future is a big topic here in Munich. I think Kane is in the form of his life. His education at Bayern Munich has undoubtedly helped. Max Eberl, the head of sport, already said he's improved at Bayern Munich. He was a big star before he came to the Allianz Arena, of course, but now he's playing a little bit more like a winner. You know, this is the "siegermentalität" in Germany, the DNA of Bayern Munich. He's scoring and scoring and scoring.
