Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe plan revealed after PSG declare intent to sell forward
Real Madrid are intent on holding their nerve in securing Kylian Mbappe for free next summer, despite Paris Saint-Germain announcing their preference to sell him for a fee this summer. The French star's decision to tell the Qatari-owned club he would not be extending his contract next summer continues to shape this summer's window, and has now led to a "shocked and disappointed" Nasser Al Khelaifi admitting "he can't leave for free". It is widely accepted in football that Mbappe will eventually go to Madrid but there is currently a stand-off between the two clubs from long-held tensions around the player and other issues. PSG are adamant Madrid must pay what they want. But Bernabeu president Florentino Perez does not want to pay PSG a penny for Mbappe. The Spanish club recently announced that their spending was finished for the summer with the surprising deal for Joselu, who is seen as a temporary replacement for Karim Benzema before going all in on Mbappe next summer. Madrid are determined to stick to that and hold their nerve and do not currently plan to spend any more, with their budget for the summer settled. The only element that may change that is if Mbappe himself encourages a move. Little competition for Mbappe is envisaged, in part because of his own desire to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo and go to the Bernabeu, and in part because of a rare status that prices all but about four or five clubs out of being able to sign him. Sources with knowledge of the situation were on Friday insistent that there was no bid from Liverpool, as any such move is simply beyond the club's transfer plans. In any case, it is understood that Arsenal would actually be Mbappe's first preference if he were to ever go to the Premier League, both because he likes the evolution of Mikel Arteta's team and would also enjoy the challenge of delivering the title to the club again. He is nevertheless seen as way beyond Arsenal's budget, too, and it should be stressed there has been no contact. Much will depend on whether there is a serious move, either by another club or Mbappe himself, as to whether Madrid go on to purchase him this summer. The player himself is nevertheless relaxed about the situation. It is not seen as realistic that PSG park him on the bench for the season if they can't secure a fee this summer.

The 'Barbie Shake' TikTok trend explained
In anticipation for the release of the Barbie movie later this month US ice-cream chain Cold Stone Creamery has launched its Barbie Shake. The cotton candy flavoured milkshake has found itself at the centre of a new TikTok trend similar to the recent Grimace craze over TikTok. On TikTok, users - especially men - are filming themselves taking a sip of the milkshake, twirling, and being transformed into an outfit that would make Barbie proud. Often with Aqua’s iconic 'Barbie World' playing in the background. Whilst some users opted for Nicki Mina and Ice Spice’s version which is part of the movie’s soundtrack. It’s essentially the opposite of the Grimace shake trend, where people pretend that McDonald’s mascot shake is making them extremely ill. Instead, the Barbie shake makes you feel fabulous. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter It’s unclear how the recent trend started. According to KnowYourMeme, users began joking that they had been “yassified” after drinking the shake, and eventually, it leaked over onto TikTok, roughly around early July. The hashtag #barbieshake has over 6 million views. One user uploaded a video of himself being transformed by the shake, which now has almost 2 million views and over 300k likes. Another user who goes by the name Catinator, has over 600k likes and shows him spinning around and finding himself in a pink dress and blonde wig in true Barbie fashion. @whistlin_gasoline The Barbie Shake Slaayyyyyss?? #carsoftiktok #barbieshake #barbie ?: @Click-a-tron @catinatorgg Tried the new Barbie Shake ??♀️?? #barbie #barbieshake Of course, some are putting their own twist on the trend, with user @ceekayyefilmed filming herself drinking the shake and instead of transforming into Barbie they transformed in J. Robert Oppenheimer, the atomic bomb scientist. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is releasing the same day as “Barbie”. @ceekayye Make sure they give you the right flavor if youre going to try the Barbie Shake ✋ #barbieshake #barbie #oppenheimer #grimaceshake Have your say in our news democracy.
