Lionel Messi handed in a transfer request at the Camp Nou. Is he Manchester City bound? Has he burnt all bridges with Barca? England’s squad was announced amid a backdrop of Harry Maguire’s arrest in Greece. But will Gareth Southgate ever pick Jack Grealish? Chelsea’s spending spree continues apace with Havertz still to come. Eze, Doherty and Rodrigo represent some of the week’s tasty signings. Are Van De Beek and James Rodriguez soon to follow?
