Then there is Ronald Araújo, whose move is virtually confirmed, as he heads to Liverpool on loan with an option to buy to get to work under Andoni Iraola.

One of the talking points from the friendly between Ferencváros and Real Madrid was Bernardo Silva’s debut.

The Portuguese played in central midfield and as an attacking midfielder, but what surprised most were José Mourinho’s comments about him after the match.

This is what the coach said: "Bernardo is very important, but the poor guy is another one who has been on holiday. He’s the kind of lad for whom doing nothing during that period is good for his head, and he has shown up in clearly below-par physical condition, he needs to improve. But he’s a tremendous player, who helps us play out from the back if he plays deeper, in the ‘6’ or ‘8’ position."
