The Sports Agents Could Alexander Isak to Liverpool be the LAST transfer saga?
It's the biggest transfer saga of the summer - will Alexander Isak, who led Newcastle to the Champions League and ended a 70-year domestic trophy drought, be snapped up by Premier League winners Liverpool? The Athletic's George Caulkin joins Mark to talk about the British-record fee, and a 'sliding doors' moment for the Saudi-backed project on Tyneside.
And behind the scenes is the whole transfer system as we know it unravelling? FIFA is facing a multi-billion pound class action lawsuit for players' lost income because of transfer rules, in the wake of last summer's 'Diarra ruling'. To explain, we're joined by sports lawyer, Dolf Segaar, a board member for the 'Justice for Players' Foundation, which could soon take FIFA to court.
