PSG defenders Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez to miss remainder of the Club World Cup
FIFA's Disciplinary Committee has opted to hand the two culprits a two-game ban, which means their Club World Cup is effectively over. PSG can still appeal the decision. Champions League winners PSG will face Real Madrid in the second semi-final this Wednesday at East Rutherford's MetLife Stadium. Should they defeat Los Merengues, PSG will face Chelsea or Fluminense in the final.

Tim Weah's agent puts Juventus on blast for holding up Marseille transfer
U.S. men's national team winger Tim Weah remains stuck in a transfer window standoff between Juventus and French club Olympique de Marseille – and the frustration seems to be mounting from the player's side. Weah previously turned down a transfer to English Premier League side Nottingham Forest after Juventus came to terms. Instead, the 25-year-old has made it clear his preference is to move back to Ligue 1, where he previously played for Paris Saint-Germain and Lille. Advertisement So far, however, the teams have not come to an agreement. Multiple reports indicate Marseille will not increase its offer beyond €15 million ($17.6 million), while Juventus is insisting on its €20 million ($23.5 million) valuation. Weah's agent, Badou Sambague, expressed his frustration in a statement to The Athletic. 'Juve is a fantastic club,' Sambague wrote. 'The sporting department is managed by three persons. Two have class, and another is still searching himself [sic]. We cannot blame him. Two are looking for solutions, and one is creating problems. And we can't let that go. Tim Weah, is always professional, was left out during the [Club] World Cup. This person botched his [Club] World Cup, tried to force him to go where he wanted. Today, as revenge, he's demanding a fortune and waiting for a Premier League offer that won't come and will never be approved by us. 'These are old-fashioned methods that won't sit well with me. I'm not used to speaking out, but not doing so today would be accepting the unacceptable and total disrespect. Class can't be bought for a manager, that's for sure, but it has always been part of the history of Juventus. One person is undermining that. Let's see…' Weah played just 45 minutes for Juventus during the FIFA Club World Cup this summer. Increasing that frustration is that he missed the Concacaf Gold Cup with the U.S. team in order to stay with Juve for the club competition. At issue from the player's side is the belief that Juventus general manager Damien Comolli initially accepted a €14 million offer ($16.5 million), but now is insisting on the €20 million figure. Weah is keen on the opportunity to play for OM manager Roberto De Zerbi, and Marseille has qualified for the Champions League. Weah has three years remaining on his contract with Juventus. The Athletic has approached Juventus for comment.

Liverpool close in on SPECTACULAR €78m deal
Liverpool are now close to securing a massive deal. It isn't their first of the summer and it won't be the last. Liverpool have struck some of the biggest deals anywhere this summer. Florian Wirtz arrived for a club-record amount, of course, while Hugo Ekitike wasn't too far behind that. Shop the LFC Store LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Both full-back positions have record signings, too. Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong are now the most Liverpool have spent at left-back and right-back, respectively. It's been an unprecedented summer of deals for the Reds, who have moved massively to upgrade their title-winning team. What we haven't really seen yet, though, are moves in the other direction. Trent Alexander-Arnold left quickly to join Real Madrid, with Los Blancos paying a small fee for the last month of his contract. Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah have both moved on, too, though neither were first-team regulars last season. But those regulars do have to depart - Liverpool must make room for the arrivals, after all. Now it seems like that is in fact happening as the Reds close in on a major sale. Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich Sky Sports reports that Bayer Munich and Liverpool are now very close to sealing a deal for Luis Diaz. Bayern will pay around €79m for the Colombian. That's essentially what Liverpool wanted as an asking price this summer. €80m was the quoted figure and while Bayern have avoided putting up that much, they're awfully close. Liverpool were always going to be open to selling Diaz for the right price given he's in the final two years of his contract. It's taken some time to get there - both Bayern and Barcelona saw offers rejected - but it appears an agreement is here.

Liverpool set to more than DOUBLE their money
Liverpool have been as busy as anyone in this transfer window. They've made the headline signing, after all: Florian Wirtz. Shop the LFC Store LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now The Reds paid a club-record amount to sign the playmaker from Bayer Leverkusen. The deal could even reach British-record levels, should add-ons be met. We've seen Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike arrive, too. Those deals combined take Liverpool well over £200m spent this summer in what's by far the biggest window in the club's history. The mad thing is, the Reds are looking to make this the biggest in the other direction, too. They've already made some great sales and now another is on the way. And it'll double their money. Liverpool to sell Luis Diaz The Times are one of many saying a deal for Luis Diaz with Bayern Munich is now incredibly close. They write that £65.6m deal is on the cards, with only details being ironed out. Diaz is currently off with Liverpool on their pre-season tour, where they've just arrived in Japan. Despite that, the Colombian is now fully expected to leave the Reds permanently. Diaz didn't feature against AC Milan on Saturday and almost certainly won't wear the club's colours again. We've got to say, though - it's a fantastic amount for a player turning 29 and who wasn't going to sign a new contract.
