🗞️ World Cup Round of 32 excitement and the development of the transfer market
This article covers the World Cup Round of 32 hype, Spain and Austria's future matchup, Julian Alvares' transfer status, and France and Argentina's international reflections.
Today's headlines reflect the pressure of the Round of 32, the day-to-day life of Julian Alvers and the writers' clamor for the title. Spain sharpens its weapons to test Austria. Spain's sports media, Marca and Mundo Deportivo, are of the same opinion that the national team's "lace route" begins today ahead of the crucial clash against Austria. Spain have been urged to rule out doubts in the group stage as they are likely to face leading football teams Portugal, Croatia or France.
The transfer market is tight regarding Julian Alvares. Spain's Aldetico de Madrid have insisted on a fixed fee of €150m for Alvarez, against interest from Bar Celona. Arsenal are thought to be at risk while this complicates Barcelone's plans.
The World Cup is piling up in Paris and Argentina. International repercussions are imminent. In a conversation with Ronaldo Nazario in L'Équipe, France, Kylian Mbappe gives his blessing and says "he's like me". Meanwhile, Argentina's Ole newspaper highlighted Lionel Scaloni's warnings to "eliminate any overachievement" and insist on respect for Cape Verde as the biggest short story of the Round of 32.
