Julián Álvarez, who had been staring at the ceiling with a look of profound, almost spiritual, concentration, finally spoke.

"This is not a transfer. This is a love triangle. A very expensive, very complicated, multi-club love triangle. Liverpool loves Yamal. PSG loves Lautaro. And Inter... Inter is the angry father with a shotgun who does not approve of any of it. The question is," he said, his eyes shining with a brilliant, insane light, "who gets to marry the beautiful princess, who is also a very good winger?"
The room just stared at him for a long, silent moment before Andy Robertson, in a moment of rare, philosophical clarity, said, "Julián, you are a beautiful, beautiful madman. And I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about."
