From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The transfer window has ticked into its final month and there are still plenty of potential big-name transfers left on the radar, with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona all among the clubs still in the hunt for reinforcements.
Madrid are the side who everyone has their eyes on, with the biggest club in the world ready to move forward with their interest in Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe. The debate over the French teenager is whether he trades regular football in a relatively easy league for a bit-role at the Bernabeu in a league that will chew him up and spit him out if he fails to make the cut.
Alexis Sanchez could also be on the move if he continues to try and force his way out of Arsenal, but the big question is whether the Gunners buckle or not and choose to sell him this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next year.
Our football writers also discuss the prospect of other clubs rising from the lower ranks to join the European ‘Super Clubs’ at a time when Paris Saint-Germain prepare to shake up the apple cart and sign Neymar from Barcelona for a world record £198m.
Independent sports editor Ed Malyon was joined last Thursday by chief football correspondent Miguel Delaney and Jack Pitt-Brooke to discuss all the latest from the transfer window.
