Manchester City are back in match action for the first time in more than a month as they take on Spanish side Girona in a friendly at the Academy Stadium.

You can see the City DNA already ingrained on some of these youngsters. The Blues are back. He plays Haaland through on goal but the striker is flagged offside. City get away with one as they're caught on the break. Both sides are still having a go but the match is definitely winding down now. Oh to be young and full of optimism.

Media Digest: Liverpool and Man City have held talks ahead of their upcoming fixture. FSG may have received a transfer boost from recent agent revelations.
[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-liverpool-make-new-push-to-win-youssoufa-moukoko-race-as-talks-held/) reports that FSG have not given up on securing the wonderkid. Having just turned 18, the starlet is now eligible for a transfer. But FSG — or at least Julian Ward — will certainly be assessing the options. Whether Liverpool will be active remains to be seen. Though Chelsea are considered favourites, Liverpool remain ‘in the race’. An effort is now being made to rectify the situation. “Over the past five or six seasons, our matches have been some of the most entertaining in the world. Liverpool, despite their underwhelming campaign to date, will be looking to make it three wins out of three. Credible, incredible and anything in between: we round it all up in one place here, taking a sideways look at the day’s media goings-on from around the world.

We're heading to court, ladies & gents.— Matt Slater (@mjshrimper) [Man City](https://www.sportbible.com/manchester-city) had paid the most in agent/intermediary fees (£35m) from 2021 to 2022, with [Man United](https://www.sportbible.com/manchester-united) a close second with £29m, and Chelsea rounding off the top three with £28m. Today's FIFA Council meeting has (finally) approved the new agents regulations, which ban dual representation & introduce caps on commissions in transfers.

[Trent Alexander-Arnold](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-gareth-southgate-england-call-25738613) questioned for his defensive work, it is important that others are held to the same standards. The Scotland international captain has been one of Klopp's most consistent players since FSG signed him from Hull for £8m (€9m/$10m) in 2017, and is now regarded as one of the most reliable options in Europe. But given that he would be coming up against [Mohamed Salah](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-milan-mohamed-salah-winners-25773809), Jürgen Klopp will have no concerns about any potential arrival at the Etihad Stadium. [Bukayo Saka](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-jurgen-klopp-bukayo-saka-25686308) — and that will undoubtedly put question marks over whether he could be consistent in the Premier League. Using the brutal Alexander-Arnold benchmark, it seems likely that the left-back will come up short. He may have scored during France's 2-0 victory over Morocco to help secure progress to the World Cup final, but Hernández has left a lot to be desired in terms of his defensive work across the tournament. [Lionel Messi](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/lionel-messi-liverpool-transfer-klopp-25747303) looks to cement his own legend with success in Sunday's final, the Argentina star could benefit from a match-up that will be Hernández's toughest test yet — and one that will be decisive in whether [Ibrahima Konaté](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-ibrahima-konate-jurgen-klopp-25775852) returns to Merseyside as a World Cup winner. That's an impressive goal contribution rate from the wing-back position, but he looks to be some way off the consistency that Liverpool enjoy with Andy Robertson. He replaced his stricken brother in the opener against Australia, and has since been asked to play all but one game. In an ever-changing football climate that can protect players who have enjoyed success against lesser opposition, many can be untested until they are called to the big stage. [Kostas Tsimikas](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/harvey-elliott-liverpool-dua-lipa-25597665), it is unlikely that a switch to the Premier League by Hernández would represent a power shift of any kind towards Manchester City.
