Alreet, pet. If you thought the Salah saga was the only show in town, you've been looking at the wrong ticker. While Liverpool play poker with their Egyptian King, the rest of the world has just gone absolutely mental. We're talking serious money—over a billion SVC changing hands in Italy and beyond—and a devastating injury blow that could derail Manchester Red's season before it properly starts.

First, let's talk about the cash, because my word, it's flowing. Roma manager GreenFuryx3 has been busier than a barman on derby day. In a stunning double-switch, they've sold Lorenzo Pellegrini to Saladino's Jeddah Green for a massive ₷236.6M, only to immediately smash the bank on Luan Garcia Teixeira from Toluca for a staggering ₷429M. That's nearly half a billion on one defender, folks. And it didn't stop there—Bergamo cashed in on Edoardo Bove, sending him to Laranjeiras (managed by Lohan1x1) for ₷371M. That's over ₷1 BILLION in three deals alone. The Italian market isn't just heating up; it's on fire.

But it's not all sunshine and big cheques. Up in Manchester, the mood is grim. Mastermind has been dealt a cruel hand with Carlos Casimiro suffering a serious injury that will keep him out for 125 days. That's four months, pet. Basically the entire season. For a club sitting 16th in the table and desperate for stability, losing their midfield anchor is a catastrophe. Down south, Bournemouth aren't faring much better, losing Illia Zabarnyi for 67 days. The physio rooms are getting fuller than the transfer lists.

Speaking of transfer lists, the 'expensive club' has a new member. Watford have slapped a ₷72M price tag on goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli, joining Salah (₷190M) and Djimsiti (₷128M) in the shop window. With managers like GreenFuryx3 and Lohan1x1 proving there's serious liquidity in the market, don't be surprised if someone bites. Oh, and keep an eye on Newcastle and Udine—new managers kw0w and ChiantiIT have just taken the reins. Fresh blood usually means fresh spending. Watch this space, darlin'.
