Unbelievably sad. Wasn't he linked with a PL return earlier in the summer? Used to be a Football Manager stalwart back in the day.

RIP.

Yeah, we was linked with him last month, just before he signed for El Jaish SC in Qatar. RIP. 27 is no age to go, sad.

Would a club be insured against a player suddenly dying?

Having just paid out millions to a player who died 3 weeks later, what do his new club do?

Was thinking that too actually, 9 million is a fair whack of money.

Surely there is some sort of insurance?
