FIFA: Almost $5 Billion Spent In Transfer Window

Paris Saint-Germain's world-record signing of Neymar from Barcelona for 222 million euros ($264 million) dominated the headlines. The close-season transfer window saw $4.71 billion (3.96 billion euros) spent worldwide, over three quarters of which were from the top five European leagues, FIFA announced on Thursday. Paris Saint-Germain’s world-record signing of Neymar from Barcelona for 222 million euros ($264 million) dominated the headlines, but many of Europe’s other big clubs also broke their own transfer records. “Between June 1 and September 1, 7,590 international transfers were completed worldwide,” FIFA said in a statement. “Global spending reached $4.71 billion, meaning clubs spent almost as much during those three months as they had in the whole of 2016 ($4.79 billion).” PSG also signed teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe from Monaco on a season-long loan, with an option to make him the second-most expensive player of all-time for 180 million euros. Largely down to PSG, France saw the biggest increase in international transfer spending, with its clubs spending $604.1 million, an increase of 250 percent on last summer. Five-time European champions Bayern Munich and Barcelona also broke their club records for Corentin Tolisso and Ousmane Dembele respectively. FIFA’s report found that clubs in Europe’s top five leagues spent $3.67 billion, a new transfer-window record. “Once again, clubs from the Big 5 (England, Spain, France, Germany and Italy) took centre stage, completing 21.2 percent of the total incoming transfers and spending 77.9 percent of the total global spend,” football’s world governing body added. England saw the most money spent on players, with a total amount of $1.4 billion more than double that of any other country. The chaotic nature of the transfer window has seen calls for reforms, with English Premier League clubs voting to end their window before the start of the 2017-18 season.

UNILAG The body of a missing student has been found in a mortuary

They thought she was killed by ritualists and would never be found. They were wrong.

The body of a missing student who was declared missing about three weeks ago, has been found in a mortuary.
Remilekun Odeleye went for a party on the Island on April 1, and she never returned. Friends took to Social Media, putting up photos, hoping people would find their beloved friend.

Many feared the worst. Some feared that perhaps, she had been killed by ritualists. It was just supposed to be another party with a friend.
But you see, Remilekun was never going to return. She was involved in an accident on Eko Bridge and her body had found its way to a mortuary at Atan Cemetery, Yaba.

Her friend, Dewumoh, wrote on Facebook:
“I thought you were missing babe. I tried to look everywhere for you but alas you had died in an accident the next day you left home.
We thought you were missing, never knew you had gone to never come back. With tears in my eyes and pain in my heart, I pray you rest well because we are all going to die and yours came a little early.
We are going to forever miss you baby, I am going to be strong not because I am capable but for you my happy soul, who loved with all her heart. You lived a short life but you touched my heart with your love and happiness.
Now to you who live your life trolling, backstabbing, judging and saying hurtful things about people you know nothing about, I hope you are happy your wish came true.
Yes she is dead but she was not a prey of what you thought and hoped it was. She died in an accident on Eko bridge April 1, and yes she was never a call girl or whatever name you all have for it. I hope this makes you sleep well tonight and makes you fulfilled.”
