Real Madrid's shift in transfer strategy under Jose
Jose Mourinho has made a fast start in the transfer window at Real Madrid despite the World Cup being under way with the free transfer of Bernardo Silva following hot on the heels of Marc Cucurella's 51.8m signing from Chelsea.
Real Madrid's newly re-elected president Florentino Perez has also lined up the 17m signing of right-back Denzel Dumfries from Inter and the free transfer of centre-back Ibrahima Konate who is out of contract at Liverpool at the end of the month.
The signings of Silva, 31, Cucurella, 27, Dumfries, 30, and Konate, 27, show there has been a clear change of transfer strategy at Real Madrid. The focus has shifted from young players with promise to experienced players who are ready to be thrown straight in.
Cucurella, for instance, is the first signing over 25 to have arrived at Real Madrid for a transfer fee of more than 2m since the summer of 2019, when Eden Hazard was signed from Chelsea in a deal worth well in excess of 100m.
Real Madrid have brought in experienced players in the intervening period but only on free transfers. Silva and Konate are just the latest following on from Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Kylian Mbappe and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Last summer the average age of Real Madrid's signings - Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras, Franco Mastantuono and Trent Alexander-Arnold - was just over 21 years old compared to nearly 29 years old in this window so far.
Mourinho has often relied more on tried-and-tested players during his career, but because of the pressure everyone at Real Madrid is under after failing to win LaLiga or the Champions League for the past two seasons, experience is required more than ever.
Real Madrid's business is expected to continue beyond the four signings already secured. Perez made big promises during his re-election campaign about making a mega-signing this summer, and none of the players they have signed match that description.
Curle appointed as Macclesfield CEO
Macclesfield have appointed Keith Curle as their chief executive officer (CEO).
The former defender and experienced EFL manager 'will take overall control of all operational matters and report directly into the board of directors', a club statement added, 'spearhead the clubs long-term strategic and commercial vision'.
Curle spent 22 years as a player and has managed the likes of Notts County, Carlisle and Northampton. He was most recently at Hartlepool, leaving in February 2023.
Walsall land Dallas signing
Walsall have signed Andy Dallas from Barnsley on a two-year deal.
The 26-year-old forward scored 17 times on loan in the National League at Southend United last season and is Lee Grant's first signing as manager.
Dallas will officially join the club on July 1.
Tottenham's Vuskovic dilemma - and how Brighton are involved
Latest from Your Site News' Michael Bridge and Elliot Cook:
Tottenham have a dilemma on their hands with Luka Vuskovic after rejecting two offers from Brighton for the teenage centre-back.
The 19-year-old, who established himself as one of Europes best young defenders on loan at Hamburg, wants to be a regular starter now but is not interested in another temporary move.
Brightons latest offer was for 35m and Your Site News understands that they will not go back in with a fresh proposal immediately despite agreeing a deal to sell central defender Jan Paul van Hecke to Spurs for 52m on Tuesday.
Vuskovics prospects of being a first-team regular at Spurs next season appear slim now Van Hecke is set to join Marcos Senesi as Spurs second centre-back signing this summer. If Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero stay, Vuskovic will realistically be Spurs fifth choice.
Romero's future is uncertain, just as it was last summer before he signed a new deal, but it remains to be seen if there are any clubs that would pay enough to convince Spurs to sell.
There is a real feeling at Spurs that Vuskovic could become one of the best defenders in the world but that he is not quite ready to make that step to being a regular starter in the Premier League.
There are parallels to the situation Arsenal had with William Saliba. The France international had three loans in Ligue 1 before being fully integrated into the first-team picture and becoming one of the Premier Leagues best defenders.
Spurs have plans to spend big this summer and, naturally, that will lead to player sales. However, in an ideal world they will raise funds elsewhere on players who are not part of Roberto De Zerbis future plans.
Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic says it is important Vuskovic finds a club where he will play regularly. Spurs agree but can only offer a loan. Brighton can give the teenager what he wants but are unwilling to overpay. This one could rumble on.
Rhl leaves Rangers for RB Salzburg
Danny Rhl has left Rangers to take up the vacant managerial role at Red Bull Salzburg.
The decision has been made 'by mutual agreement', Rangers say. Rohl replaced Russell Martin in October as the club finished third in the Scottish Premiership.

The club are now finalising the deal for Derek McInnes to become their new head coach.

The striker was the third highest scorer in the WSL last season behind Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw and Alessia Russo, scoring 12 goals - only one fewer than the Arsenal forward.
