The Full Time Report — Ep.33: Iraola's First Day, Florentino's Mystery Man, and England Touch Down in Tampa
Andoni Iraola is officially in the Liverpool building and already talking about transfer targets — Yan Diamondé and Bradley Barcola top the list. Florentino Pérez drops a €150m mystery-signing bombshell ahead of Real Madrid's presidential election on Sunday, narrowed down to two PSG stars. Man City's chairman gives a remarkable interview saying Pep quit "a hundred times" but meant it this time. Arsenal are quietly locking in Piero Hincapié permanently, and Rafael Leão is being shopped around. Man Utd have a €45m Atalanta deal wrapped up. England land in Tampa for their World Cup opener in six days — and Alex Scott might still make it in.
