da betway: Everton are set for a summer of change as they move to Bramley-Moore Dock and now have a talented defender lined up who could arrive for an inexpensive fee, according to a report.
Everton set for an overhaul this summer
da realsbet: David Moyes has managed to take Everton to the relative comfort of bottom-half obscurity in the Premier League and has earned due adulation for the way he has carried himself despite members of his playing squad facing uncertain futures.
Several of his key stars, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Seamus Coleman and Abdoulaye Doucoure, have yet to agree contract extensions, while Jack Harrison, Armando Broja and Orel Mangala are loanees that could be set for the exit door.
Everton manager David Moyes andBetoafter the match
Of course, there is plenty of talent embedded within his group at Finch Farm, but Moyes will be expected to carry out an overhaul as the Friedkin Group begin to make their mark on the blue half of Merseyside.
Making an early start on identifying targets, Everton are doing everything they can to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town as his £30 million relegation release clause continues to attract the attention of top-flight clubs.
Honing in on adding creativity to his midfield, Moyes is also pursuing Sheffield United star Gustavo Hamer in a deal that could be worth £15 million.

He thinks they could be a perfect option to leave this summer.
The Toffees are set for an emotional few weeks as they bid farewell to Goodison Park. That said, the future could shine brightly over their new stadium should transfer funds be used wisely by those in charge.
Finding value for money will be key, and Everton are now reportedly well in the hunt to seal a bargain signing after carrying out a detailed scouting mission.
Everton look to sign Torino defender Jackson Tchatchoua
According to Tuttosport (via Cuore Toro), Everton have scouted Hellas Verona right-back Jackson Tchatchoua and are now looking to bring the 10-cap Cameroon international to English shores in the summer window.
Valued at around €8m (£6.7m), the 23-year-old has registered two goals and two assists in 34 appearances across all competitions this season.

Marseille are also in the hunt for his signature and have sent representatives to watch him in action, while Torino are also watching on with interest to see how the situation develops.
Ashley Young and Everton club captain Coleman are two vastly experienced operators in the full-back areas. Nevertheless, it appears that Tchatchoua may be a younger alternative to take over their role in the years to come.
Nathan Patterson hasn’t been a frequent starter this term, so it makes sense that an alternative has been identified to provide strength in depth as the Toffees prepare for life at their new stadium.
da brdice: Barcelona vs Real Madrid is La Liga’s showpiece fixture. Over the years, plenty of star players have made their mark for the Catalans or Los Blancos – or both. And for some, they thrived under the pressure of appearing in El Clásico without being asked twice.
da 888: Here, we have taken a look back through the history books and found the last 15 players to score on their league El Clásico debut.
Related The Top 11 El Clásico Goalscorers This Century
Who has scored the most often in El Clásico since 2000?
1 1 Jude Bellingham (2023/24) 28th October 2023: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
Jude Bellingham announced himself as a Real Madrid hero when his brace defeated Barcelona in Catalonia thanks to a last-minute winner.
Bellingham was appearing in his first El Clásico clash following his move from Borussia Dortmund, with the English midfielder scoring goals for fun in his early Madrid career.
His double against Barca was not only his first Clasico goals, but also saw him reach 10 La Liga goals in 11 matches. He ended with 23 in all competitions, winning the league and the Champions League.
2 Ilkay Gundogan (2023/24) 28th October 2023: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
In that same game in late 2023, Ilkay Gundogan briefly threatened to overshadow Bellingham’s big day when he netted six minutes into his first El Clásico matchup.
Gundogan had joined after leaving Manchester City in the preceding summer, having just led the Citizens to their historic treble.
While the move didn’t work out for the former Germany international, he did briefly have his name up in lights before Bellingham stole his thunder.
3 Ferran Torres (2021/22) 20th March 2022: Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona
Having joined Barca from Manchester City in January 2022, the £55m signing was just two months into his career at Camp Nou.
At the time of the 2021/22 season’s first Clasico, Madrid were flying high at the top of the table, whilst Xavi’s Barcelona were languishing some way behind in third – meaning the hosts were certainly heading into the affair as the favourites.
But nobody could’ve predicted what ensued. The subsequent title winners were thumped 4-0 on their own patch, and Ferran Torres netted the third for his first strike in this fixture.
The fleet-footed wide player drifted in from the left and thundered home Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s audacious cut-back to score on his El Clásico debut.
4 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (2021/22) 20th March 2022: Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted a brace on his El Clásico debut in the aforementioned thumping Barca dealt Real in early 2022.
Like Torres, the Gabonese forward left the Premier League in favour of a move to the Catalan club and was signed during the winter transfer window that year.
Following a goal-littered four-year stint with Arsenal, Aubameyang opted to begin a new chapter in Spain and found the net 13 times in 24 outings for Barca.
5 Sergio Agüero (2021/22) 24th October 2021: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
Following his departure from Manchester City in the summer of 2021, Sergio Agüero was assigned as Barca’s new centre-forward.
After an injury-stricken start to life back in Spain, the Argentina international was making only his second appearance of the season, coming on as a second-half substitute for his El Clásico debut.
With the hosts 2-0 down, Agüero pulled one back after stroking home Sergiño Dest’s cross in the seventh minute of stoppage time, though it ultimately came too late.
6 David Alaba (2021/22) 24th October 2021: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
Prior to Aguero’s consolation, David Alaba opened the scoring quite brilliantly after powering home a well-struck left-footed effort into the far corner, leaving Marc-André ter Stegen helpless.
It was the Austrian’s first goal for Los Blancos following his arrival from Bayern Munich, which ended a trophy-laden 13-year spell with the Bundesliga giants.
Alaba and his side went on to win La Liga, the Champions League and the Spanish Super Cup that year, so it was not a bad first season in Madrid.
7 Óscar Mingueza (2020/21) 10th April 2021: Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona
With the visitors 2-0 down 30 minutes from time, La Masia academy graduate Óscar Mingueza pulled one back for Barcelona with a neat finish to give his side a lifeline in this La Liga clash.
Barca midfielder Ilaix Moriba came inches away from completing a remarkable turnaround as his effort struck the woodwork in stoppage time.
Victory for the hosts moved them to the summit of the league table, whilst Ronald Koeman’s team dropped to third, a point behind their bitter rivals.
Mingueza went on to make 66 appearances for his boyhood club before departing for Celta Vigo in 2022.
8 Arturo Vidal (2018/19) 28th October 2018: Barcelona 5-1 Real Madrid
Barcelona completed a demolition job against Real, who were struggling under the stewardship of former Spain boss Julen Lopetegui in the opening stages of the 2018/19 season.
Lopetegui received the sack a day later as Los Blancos languished in 9th, seven points adrift of league leaders Barca.
Former Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suárez netted to put their side 2-0 up heading into the break, before the Uruguayan forward added a third and fourth in the second half to complete his hat-trick.
And with three minutes of normal time remaining, El Clásico debutant Arturo Vidal headed home a fifth to make matters worse for the visitors.
9 Jesé (2013/14) 26th October 2013: Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid
Barcelona summer arrival Neymar broke the deadlock in the 19th minute of the first Clasico of the 2013/14 season before Alexis Sánchez netted an exquisite chip 12 minutes from time to extend his side’s lead.
Real Madrid’s Jesé, then 20 years old, scored a stoppage-time consolation goal assisted by Cristiano Ronaldo. Regardless of the result, it will likely remain a joyous memory for the Spaniard, who was playing in his first clash against Barca.
Premier League fans may be familiar with the former Real winger’s brief time with Stoke City, though his sole season with the Potters wasn’t particularly inspiring, scoring just once in 13 outings.
10 Neymar (2013/14) 26th October 2013: Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid
Unsurprisingly, Neymar, the player who went on to become the world’s most expensive footballer, scored in his first El Clásico.
Having signed following a mega-money transfer from Brazilian outfit Santos, expectations were high upon the forward’s arrival.
He was already a global superstar after lighting up Brazil’s top flight, with many of his skilful montages going viral, so fans waited in anticipation to see how he’d fare against one of the continent’s most feared sides.
In spite of the pressure, Neymar took centre stage and opened the scoring for the Catalan club, striking a low effort into the bottom-right corner.
Neymar went on to score 15 goals that year, laying on as many assists.

Levy is apparently willing to bid around £51 million to sign Bowen for Spurs, even if this may not be anywhere near enough, but the England international isn’t their only rival player to be mentioned as a possible incoming in the last few days.
Christopher Nkunku holds talks to join Tottenham via agents
According to journalist Graeme Bailey, speaking to The Boot Room, £195,000-per-week Chelsea winger Christopher Nkunku is actively looking to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
The Frenchman, who’s actually scored 14 goals in all competitions this season, verbally agreed terms over a move to Bayern Munich in January (Florian Plettenberg), and looks set to be one of the many men sold or loaned out by Enzo Maresca’s side when the window reopens.
Bailey writes that, while a move to Europe is more likely, Nkunku’s camp have reached out for talks with Tottenham recently, as the ex-RB Leipzig sensation’s representatives attempt to offer him to a host of clubs.
“I am told that a move to Europe is the most likely option – but his people are touching base with clubs in England,” said Bailey.
“Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Tottenham have all been spoken to in the past few months. Chelsea want to recoup as much of their plus £50m outlay, but that looks difficult at this juncture.
“I am told the player is very happy in London, and so would a move to a Arsenal or Tottenham appeal? I believe it would but as it stands those options are not advanced – but Arsenal and Spurs both have an historic interest in the player. Both want a wide forward, so you could see the fit.
“There is interest back in Germany – Bayern Munich like him, a new deal for Leroy Sane doesn’t rule out them making a move but it is not pressing. Former club RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen also admire him.”
The versatile 27-year-old has displayed real quality on occasion since his switch to London, and was a revelation in the Bundesliga. However, this could prove to be a costly operation, especially for a price around £50 million, not to mention his lofty salary.
With Spurs in for a ‘sell to buy’ summer, as per The Telegraph, these factors may well deter Levy.

Liverpool chasing new attacking talent for summer additions
da cassino: Agreeing a new contract with talisman Mohamed Salah is excellent news for the Reds, but it doesn’t appear to be stopping the soon-to-be Premier League champions from looking at players who they believe will improve their attack for next season.
Related Liverpool player has now joined Van Dijk and Salah by signing new contract
The Reds are putting their contract mess behind them.
Given how Diogo Jota, Darwin Núñez, and at times Luis Diaz have struggled for consistency this season, Arne Slot looks to be in the market for new arrivals that can take the pressure off Salah.
It’s been reported that Liverpool are ready to make a £130 million offer to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. The Sweden international is considered to be a priority for the Reds, and they hope this mouth-watering offer is enough to persuade Newcastle to agree a transfer.
It’s not just Isak that the Reds are looking at, as according to Graeme Bailey for The Boot Room, Liverpool are also lining up a move to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. The forward is now expected to leave the Bees this summer, and a bid of around £50 million would be enough to secure a transfer.
Liverpool preparing offer to sign Aston Villa star Rogers
The list of attacking options doesn’t stop there, as according to Empire of the Kop, Liverpool have placed Morgan Rogers at the top of their transfer list and are preparing an offer to sign him from Aston Villa.
The report states that his performances for Villa throughout this season have placed him on Liverpool’s radar, and the Reds are now planning a ‘serious’ move to bring him to Anfield. But they are not alone in this race, as the report does add that Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and both Manchester clubs are also interested in the attacking midfielder.
In fact, Man United have already made a bid for Rogers worth £70 million, but it isn’t clear if he would be interested in a move to Old Trafford. Liverpool club chiefs have been left impressed by Rogers’ pace, dribbling and his ability to create clear-cut chances.
Rogers, who has been dubbed “superb” by scout/writer Jacek Kulig, has scored eight goals and recorded eight assists in 31 league games this season, making him one of Villa’s key attacking players.

A factor that Liverpool fans will hope works to their advantage is that Rogers is sponsored by Adidas, and the Reds have recently secured a £60 million deal per season with Adidas to be their new kit sponsor, perhaps increasing the motivation for FSG to complete a deal for a player who will see them thrive both on the pitch and off it.

In recent days, Rangers and the consortium have issued a joint statement, saying to Sky Sports: “Rangers and its existing controlling shareholders are in productive conversations with the two lead members of the Consortium, Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises Global Football Group, about the potential for the Consortium to acquire control of the club and to inject additional capital. These discussions reflect a shared recognition of the importance of Rangers FC’s long-term direction, ambitions and management.”

Rangers and 49ers hold manager talks in Europe
According to The Athletic, relayed by Give Me Sport, Rangers and the 49ers have been holding talks with managers in Europe ahead of a potential summer move.
No specific names are mentioned, however, 49ers technical director Gretar Steinsson has held Rangers discussions with managerial candidates across Europe.
Gretar Steinsson at Selhurst Park
There have been a few managers in Europe who have been linked with the Ibrox role, including Jose Mourinho who is currently in charge of Fenerbahce. As we know, Ferguson and Rangers got the better of Mourinho and Fenerbahce in the Europa League earlier this year.
Marco Rose, who has links with Red Bull and by extension the 49ers due to the connection at Leeds United, is another who has been mooted as a potential target after he left RB Leipzig in March.
It will be interesting to see what route the 49ers go down in regards to bringing in a new manager, but they aren’t wasting time with Steinsson working behind the scenes.

Chelsea'sEnzoFernandezcelebrates scoring their second goal with Levi Colwill
One of the key players in the Conference League for Chelsea this season has been Christopher Nkunku, although his form across all competitions has not been as consistent.
Nkunku's form in 2024/25
It has certainly been an indifferent campaign so far for France international Nkunku. The former Paris Saint-Germain star has played 39 times across all competitions, scoring 14 goals and grabbing five assists in that.
Christopher Nkunku scores for Chelsea
The Conference League has really been where he has done his best work. In seven appearances so far in the competition, the former RB Leipzig star has scored five goals and registered three assists. That included two goals and one assist in the 8-0 thrashing of FC Noah at Stamford Bridge.
However, it has not been plain sailing for the Chelsea attacker in the Premier League, where he has just five goal involvements in 26 appearances. He has struggled to break into the starting lineup under Maresca, having played 907 minutes and the equivalent of ten full 90-minute games.
Manchester United legend turned pundit Gary Neville has been critical of the Frenchman this term. After Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat away to Brighton in February, Neville described his performance as “useless” and said it is “time now for him to step up”.
Who knows what the future holds for the Frenchman, with GiveMeSport recently reporting that he could be “plying his trade elsewhere” next season. If this is the case, perhaps the Blues have the perfect replacement waiting in the wings.
Chelsea’s in-house Nkunku replacement
Chelsea’s esteemed Cobham academy has produced some extraordinary footballers over the years. Perhaps the next player from Cobham who could break into the first team at Stamford Bridge will be striker Donell McNeilly.
It has been a sensational season for the London-born 19-year-old. In 19 games for the Blues’ academy this term, he has scored 12 goals and grabbed two assists. That includes 11 goals in 17 Premier League 2 appearances.
There was a spell between the end of September last year and the middle of January when McNeilly simply could not stop contributing to goals. In fact, he had ten goals and assists in an eight-game spell in the Premier League 2.
The teenager’s goalscoring run has continued, and he now has two goals in his last two games in the Premier League 2. One of those was a sweetly struck volley against Aston Villa, which he hooked back across goal with an outstretched right leg.
McNeilly has also impressed for Chelsea in the EFL Trophy in which he scored once against Bromley. As per Sofascore, he won four ground duels and completed 80% of his passes in the same game. It was a similar story against Cambridge United, in which he won seven from ten ground duels.

Football scout Antonio Mango described McNeilly as “the most inform youth Striker in England” in 2024, and it certainly seems like that is still the case. He has been on fire at youth level and has continued to impress outside of his goal-scoring prowess.
If Nkunku is to depart Chelsea this summer, they might well have his replacement waiting in the wings, just ready to explode at the highest level.

da premier bet: Whilst there’s finally been a reported breakthrough in contract talks with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, rumours are now emerging that clubs in the Saudi Pro League are still interested in signing another Liverpool player.
Update on Salah and Van Dijk's Liverpool future
da casino: All season long, no matter how successful Arne Slot’s side have been, a contract cloud has threatened to rain down on their campaign. After a frustratingly long saga, however, it looks as though the Reds are finally set to tie both Van Dijk and Salah down to fresh Anfield deals, having reached a breakthrough at long last.
Whilst Trent Alexander-Arnold’s pending departure to Real Madrid will undoubtedly deal Liverpool a major blow, it’s fair to say that things could have been so much worse. For far too long, the threat of losing the so-called big three without making any profit was certainly realistic until recent updates eased that concern around Anfield.
That said, Liverpool could still be in for a summer of change under Slot. They may sit top of the Premier League, but there’s no doubt that the Dutchman’s side have their weaknesses at both left-back and within their frontline – weaknesses which must be solved in the coming months.

Amid links to the likes of Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez and Newcastle United star Alexander Isak, the Reds will be among the sides to watch when the transfer window swings open – especially if Saudi still come calling for one particular player.
Saudi still eyeing Luis Diaz after Salah setback
Having been handed a consistent rejection by Salah and Van Dijk, clubs in the Saudi Pro League have seemingly shifted their focus towards another Anfield star. According to Ian Doyle of the Liverpool Echo, clubs in Saudi Arabia now have concrete interest in signing Luis Diaz this summer, whose Liverpool future is far from guaranteed amid a potential attacking overhaul.
As things stand, the 28-year-old has just two years left on his current deal which will see him hit 30 around the time of expiration. Given his inconsistencies at times this season and links to the likes of Isak, it remains up for debate whether Liverpool will hand Diaz a new deal or let him walk out the door this summer or when his current £55k-a-week contract expires.
Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez
Of course, when Diaz first arrived, he was seen as a player capable of replacing Sadio Mane and keeping Liverpool’s attack at a certain level. Former manager Jurgen Klopp even went as far as to describe him as “really really special”. Fast-forward three years, however, and injuries combined with inconsistency have created a frustrating spell at times.
As Slot goes in search of marking his stamp on his Liverpool side at long last, Diaz could yet find himself heading for the exit door.
da blaze casino: Chelsea’s pursuit of the finest South American talent isn’t slowing down. The Blues have been linked with a move for Millonarios teenager Nesyer Villarreal, even sending scouts to monitor his display against Santa Fe in midweek.
da dobrowin: Last summer, the club signed Brazilian teenager Estevao for a fee in the region of £29m, but he will remain with his club until July, joining the Blues after the FIFA Club World Cup.
Young Brazilian star Estevao Willian
“All the time, I’m very anxious to go.” The youngster said on the Denilson show when asked about his move to England. Will he live up to the lofty expectations?
Why Chelsea signed Estevao
The teenager doesn’t turn 18 until April, but he has already begun to showcase his incredible talents for Palmeiras since making his debut for the club in 2023.
Across 60 senior games for the Brazilian side, Estevao has scored 20 times while chipping in with ten assists, which works out as a goal contribution once every two matches.
The right-winger even made his debut for Brazil in September last year, going on to appear another three times for his country. A big future ahead indeed.
An extra year with Palmeiras should hopefully give him more confidence before making the move to Chelsea ahead of the 2025/26 season.
If Maresca gets things right next term, the Blues could have a formidable squad, packed with some of the finest young talents on the globe.
Could the manager even be brewing his own homegrown Estevao too? As youngster, Tyrique George has begun to make a solid impact for the club.
Chelsea could be brewing their own Estevao
During the 2023/24 season, George starred for the U18s, netting nine goals and grabbing six assists in the U18 Premier League for the Blues.
These displays meant the Englishman was given a chance by Maresca this term and has already featured in 17 matches for the Stamford Bridge outfit, mirroring Estevao in typically operating on the flanks.
Tyrique George
Nine of those have come in the Conference League, a competition used as a chance to unleash young talent by the manager.
George has managed to create three big chances throughout the competition while averaging 1.4 key passes per game and succeeding with 1.5 dribbles each match – a success rate of 60%.
Highly impressive indeed. Teammate Jadon Sancho knows a thing or two about bursting onto the scene before becoming one of the finest young talents on the continent and he said that George “has the world at his feet” in a post on X last year.
If he continues developing and gaining first-team experience, the 19-year-old could be the next big thing to emerge from the Cobham academy, no doubt about that.

Man Utd plot bargain playmaker move
da bwin: The Red Devils’ financial woes are no secret these days and the summer transfer window may well reflect that. Reinforcements are undoubtedly still needed, however, and INEOS will simply have to seek any bargain opportunities they can get. Meanwhile, as that search goes on they’d be wise to clear out any unwanted stars in search of adding to their own spending power.
Related INEOS can save millions by axing Man Utd star who's cost the club £139m
The Man Utd star is one of the club’s biggest earners
That could yet include the likes of Alejandro Garnacho when the summer arrives. Although the Argentine winger has worked his way back into Amorim’s side at times in recent weeks, his Old Trafford future is far from certain amid interest from Serie A giants Napoli. For the right price, it wouldn’t be a great shock to see Manchester United cash in on their young star this summer.
Manchester United's AlejandroGarnachocelebrates after the match
What that sale would do is hand Amorim the chance to finally stamp his mark at Old Trafford and perhaps welcome a player who would be perfect for his 3-4-2-1 system. According to The Boot Room, Manchester United have now made contact over signing Rayan Cherki from Lyon, asking the French club to keep them informed about the 21-year-old’s transfer status.
Valued at just £25m this summer, the young winger has quite the queue forming for his signature, which includes United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea ahead of the transfer window.
That interest should come as no surprise either, particularly from United, given that the Frenchman would be the perfect candidate to play in one of the two advanced midfield roles in Amorim’s system. A winger by trade at Lyon, Cherki has operated in the past as a No.10 and it could even be said that it is his best role.
"Special" Cherki is perfect for Amorim
Some will feel as though it’s about time that Cherki finds himself on the radar of several top sides. For some time, a top move looked unlikely to balance as questions came over his ability away from possession. Following his most impressive season yet, however, it’s hard for even the likes of Manchester United to ignore the Frenchman’s clear quality.
Dubbed a “special creator” and a “proper 10” by analyst Ben Mattinson, Cherki is exactly the type of player that would thrive in a system that not many have since Amorim’s Old Trafford arrival.
With as many as 18 assists to his name so far this season in all competitions, the 21-year-old would instantly form one of the deadliest partnerships in the Premier League next to Bruno Fernandes and all for just £25m. It’s a deal that ticks all boxes for Manchester United and one they should go all out for this summer.

In their latest friendly, the Red Devils eased past Bournemouth in the Premier League Summer Series in a 4-1 victory which featured a much-needed goal from Rasmus Hojlund.

I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to stay and fight for my spot, whatever happens.”
That said, fighting for that spot could be about to become far more difficult amid reports that Sesko has now set his sights on moving to Manchester United this summer.
The RB Leipzig forward has been the subject of a £65m transfer battle between Manchester United and Newcastle, but now reportedly prefers a move to Old Trafford.
If INEOS complete their third big-money move of the summer, Ruben Amorim’s frontline will suddenly be transformed. From blunter than ever, United will have three impressive goalscorers to choose from next season. And that would make all the difference.
As one big-money signing potentially arrives, however, one big-money exit could deal Amorim an almighty blow.
Real Madrid set sights on blockbuster Mainoo move
According to reports in Spain, Real Madrid are now plotting a move to sign Kobbie Mainoo in a blockbuster deal worth as much as £70m. Scouts have already reportedly been sent to watch the England international at Old Trafford and new manager Xabi Alonso has earmarked both Adam Wharton and the Carrington graduate as midfield targets.

Manchester United are making huge moves in the transfer market this summer.
It’s bad news for Amorim, who will be aware like most that Madrid often get what they desire in the transfer market. The Manchester United boss knows exactly how talented Mainoo is, too. It was only last week that the former Sporting Club manager spoke about how his midfielder could help captain Bruno Fernandes.
At 20 years old, Mainoo is not a talent that Manchester United will want to lose anytime soon, which should spark plenty of concern about Real Madrid’s presence.
