PSG forward Killian Mbappe, who is expected to continue his career at Real Madrid, has already found a home in the Spanish capital. This is reported by local media.

It is reported that Mbappe is going to buy a house in Madrid, which previously lived ex-defender "galacticos" Sergio Ramos. The price of the question - 18 million euros.

It is known that the house of 1,000 square metres is located on a plot of 15,000 square metres in one of the most prestigious areas of Madrid.

Recall, earlier it was reported that Mbappe will move to Real Madrid as a free agent and will receive from his new club a bonus of about 100 million euros and an annual salary of 50 million euros.

Famous commentator Igor Tsyganik has made a prediction for the match of the 27th round of the Ukrainian championship between Dynamo and Kolos.

"Dynamo are in a great mood after their extremely confident 3-0 victory over Veres. The White and Blues' winning streak has now reached five matches in a row, and they have been unbeaten since the start of the UPL spring season.

It is unacceptable for Kyiv to lose points today against Kolos. For the classic with Shakhtar, we need to keep the pace up and hope that the Pitmen will stumble somewhere.

It will not be as easy with Kolos as it was against Veres. Kovalivka have changed their coach, the players will obviously want to prove themselves in front of the new coach, they always tune in to games against Dynamo.

I offer bets on the exchange of goals with Dynamo winning this match. I do not think that Oleksandr Shovkovskyi's team will win a crushing victory, so it is also worth taking a closer look at the risky option with a one-goal victory for the White and Blues," said Tsyganik.

Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe was unhappy with the order at the stadium and training ground.

The businessman visited Old Trafford and the Carrington training ground this week and was very unhappy with the disorder there. Some things he labelled as disgraceful.

"I had a good glorious visit to Carrington and Old Trafford this week. As always, I felt very welcome. Thank you. I had a good tour of some of the facilities.

Alas, I was struck by the high degree of unprofessionalism in many places. Particularly the IT department, disgraceful, frankly. In addition, the U-18 and U-21 teams' locker rooms are not much better. Such standards are nowhere near what we expect to see at Ineos. IU is an elite sporting organisation.

It's a small thing in many ways, but an organisation will not succeed if it lacks standards and discipline," the Daily Mail quoted Ratcliffe as saying, citing a letter the businessman sent to the club's staff.

Famous Ukrainian coach Oleksandr Babych spoke about the traitor to Ukraine, Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, who continues to work in Russia.

"I can't make an assessment because I'm not really familiar with Anatoliy. Of course, there are examples of our players who were on the coaching staffs [of Russian clubs], but left when the full-scale war started. I do not support his decision to stay there. It's his choice and he has to live with it, but I would like to hear him out.

Will this man ever be forgiven in Ukraine? I doubt it. He was a leader and a legend of the Ukrainian national team, he wore the captain's armband. They will forget about him, that he was such a footballer, in 200 years, but in our time they will not forgive him. And they will be right.

No one from Russia called me after 24 February. There was nothing like that. No one called, although I have relatives there. But we haven't spoken for a long time. I have my own opinion and I believe that our Ukraine will survive and we will be happy," Babych said in an interview withUkrainian Football.

Journalist Leon ten Voorde has commented on the information leaked to the Dutch media that Feyenoord management plans to invite current Shakhtar manager Marino Pusic, who previously worked at the Rotterdam club as an assistant to Arne Slot, to become the team's head coach.

"I'm a little surprised [to learn that Pusic is one of the key candidates to replace Slot at Feyenoord]. We have seen Pušić as head coach here at Twente for some time. First of all: he did well as an assistant coach and the players liked it too, you also heard that at Feyenoord this role suited him very well. "When Pušić became head coach he changed, but not in a good way.

"He had already completely annoyed them at the club [ Twente] in December. His behaviour towards people changed, he couldn't handle the pressure at all and got stressed. The players didn't like it at all. Because Twente were on the verge of collapse, they thought: we'll keep him in the saddle and on the pitch, and at the end of the season we'll say goodbye to him."

"[Mats] Wiffer will never say it, but he is one of the players that Puszic neglected. If Wiffer is very honest and you want to ask him about it, I know what the answer will be," FCUpdate.nl quoted the journalist as saying, citing the TC/Tubantia podcast.

West Ham striker Michael Antonio spoke about the battle for the English Premier League title.

Ukrainian midfielder of Belgian "Westerlo" Serhiy Sidorchuk spoke about the peculiarities of the Belgian championship, and also shared his emotions in connection with the fact that he recently led his team to the football field as its captain for the first time.

- "Westerlo is a great club. I think it was the perfect choice when leaving Dynamo. Life here is great. I live in Tervuren, 45 minutes away from Westerlo. My children go to an international school in Leuven.

The Belgian championship is not easy at all. The pace and intensity is high, with lots of young players pushing you. (laughs). For an age of thirty something it's not easy, it's hard work. But I don't want to be worse than the youngsters. Although, of course, in the beginning it took me some time to get used to the intensity, which is higher here than in Ukrainian competitions.

Trusting me with the captain's armband recently? It was an incredible surprise. I couldn't even imagine that I would be given such an honour. I see it as a big step and a big challenge. It gives me great confidence, but also great responsibility to the team and fans," GVA quoted Sidorchuk as saying.
