Football Daily · MNC: FIFA's climbdown, Vinicius to Arsenal and Newcastle's new era · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

So I don't think he'd be scared of the challenge per se.

Oh, I think, yeah.

Yeah, I think financially, I think Madrid and Barcelona have always been able to offer as much, if not more.

I think that's probably pretty much still the case, to be fair.

I mean, maybe Arsenal will make an exception in this case.

So I think that combined with, you know, the lifestyle, living in Spain is probably more attractive to players, particularly from Brazil or from Spain or Portugal.

In some cases, as fantastic as London is.

between kind of tension over FIFA's attempts to grow in the club game, to get a slice of the club revenues.

Remember, the UEFA Champions League is the most lucrative club competition in the world, but you now have this FIFA Club World Cup, which launched last summer, and UEFA have seen that as

you know, gate-crashing their baby, which is the Champions League.

And I think that's where a lot of this stems from.

And that's why, you know, Sheffrin, the UEFA president, didn't attend the World Cup final.
