Is there a third-place play-off at the Club World Cup 2025? No, there is not a third-place play-off at the Club World Cup 2025. The decision to go without the game is a logical one from FIFA, given the extra strain that the summer tournament is putting on teams and players. Instead, the tournament will wrap up with the two semi-finals on Tuesday 8th July and Wednesday 9th July, and then the final on Sunday 13th July – all played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Lyon set asking price for Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea target Malick Fofana https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/02/lyon-set-asking-price-arsenal-liverpool-Chelsea-target-malick-fofana-23564711/ Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are just three of the many clubs interested in Lyon winger Malick Fofana and the French club have named their price. The 20-year-old moved to Lyon from Gent in January 2024 and has been a regular in the side since. The Belgium international scored 11 times in his first full season with Lyon and established himself as one of the brightest young talents in Europe. Alongside the Gunners, Reds and Blues, Nottingham Forest and Fulham have also expressed an interest, although will do very well to win the race for the winger. German champions Bayern Munich, Italian champions Napoli and RB Leipzig are also reportedly keen. The Independent reports that Lyon are asking for £51.5m for his services this summer, but given the level of interest in him they are hoping this lofty price could rise still higher. The report suggests that the interested clubs have already made contact, while transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Nottingham Forest have got as far as agreeing a deal with Lyon. Clearly that suggests that Forest are in a good position in the battle to sign the Belgian, but there has been no agreement between the City Ground side and the player. With much bigger clubs tracking him, Fofana is believed to be waiting to see what other offers come in and hoping for a Champions League club to make the move. Lyon would rather not lose one of their best players, but they do need to raise funds due to the financial crisis at the club and will be happy to sell for a big offer.

To all those who are going a bit ratch over the signings I have two words: Manchester United

Chelsea sign free agent who claimed he'd discovered his release after social media post Chelsea's newest signing, Kian Best, was released by hometown club Preston North End last month and claimed that he only found out about the decision from social media https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/Chelsea-kian-best-new-signing-35490827

Ronald Araujo snip At the start of this year, Araujo penned a new long-term contract to commit his future to the La Liga champions until 2031. However, the 26-year-old remains linked after he only made 25 appearances for Barcelona in all competitions in 2024/25 due to injuries and a dip in form. It has been suggested that the Uruguay international could be sacrificed this summer as Barcelona look to raise funds for Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams and a report in Spain claims he is attracting interest from three European giants. It is noted that Serie A giants Juventus were initially the only club in the race to sign Araujo, but he also has ‘offers’ from Man Utd and Bayern Munich. Juventus are currently the ‘most advanced’ club, but no one has yet done enough to tempt Barcelona to ‘open the door to his exit’, with their ‘minimum’ price set at 40 million euros (£34m). Man Utd and Bayern Munich are ‘attentive’ and ‘monitoring the situation’, with the report also revealing what it will take to get a green light ‘without hesitation’ from Barcelona.
