    The Anglo-Italian highway

    Riccardo Calafiori looks like he'll be the next player travelling down the Anglo-Italian highway. But why are so many players moving between Italy and England at the moment? And what will Calafiori bring to Arsenal?

Elsewhere, PSG are already at the heart of some of this summer’s biggest transfers. What’s happening with Victor Osimhen, Jadon Sancho and Manuel Ugarte? Listen to find out.

    OTC Special: French football’s television trauma

    Today, Andy is joined by Jonathan Johnson to explain the new deal and how things got so desperate for French football. JJ also outlines why this might not be the end of French football’s financial issues, and how French clubs might still be forced to sell their best players.

    The Italian Manchester United

    As we gear up for the return of domestic football, some of Europe’s top clubs are undergoing a summer rebuild. Today, Dotun, Andy and Lars Sivertsen are here to explain why Thiago Motta’s main job at Juventus will be to achieve one thing: lose the title of "the Italian Manchester United”.
    Speaking of imitations, Andy explains how Dortmund are doing their best Bayern impression by signing a collection of Stuttgart’s best players. Elsewhere, Kylian Mbappé is introduced to 80,000 Real Madrid fans – but will he recover from the Euros and be able to hit the ground running? Lars has some reservations….
