Monaco chasing Lukaku is either desperation or they've finally accepted their midfield can't create chances anyway.  •  Gabriel Jesus's agent sniffing around Napoli training camps is what happens when you're good enough to interest everyone and trusted by nobody.  •  Barcelona opening at £38.5m for Rodri is insulting and they know it; City's asking price won't move the needle until September anyway.  •  Liverpool's £98.5m for Barcola is a statement bid with no teeth, and Al-Khelaifi will laugh while cashing PSG's checks for another season.  •  The title favorites have flaws; the chasing pack has chasms.
