Barcelona's $1.2 billion teen, Benzima's triumph, and Salah's Magic

FC Barcelona's teen sensation, Pedro González López ("Pedri"), has agreed to a new deal at the club which includes a $1.16 billion release clause. Barcelona increased its release clauses massively "since Neymar's move to Paris Saint-Germain, a transfer triggered by PSG activating the Brazilian's roughly $260 million release clause." Now big clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid are incorporating ridiculously valued clauses in contracts to avoid losing their best players. Its the joint biggest ever with  Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema's.


Speaking of Benzema, the Frenchman is having a dream start to the 2021-2022 season, leading the La Liga in goals scored (9) and assists (7). And this week he scored the goal of the tournament to help France lift the UEFA Nations League title.


Speaking of spectacular goals, Mohamed Salah keeps them coming, with another stunning solo effort, preceded by brilliant assist to Mane as Liverpool demolishes Watford 5-0.

 

But the game of the week seems to be Leicester City's 4-2 upset over Manchester United.
