Arrived on loan last summer, Yusuf Demir’s adventure at FC Barcelona is already coming to an end. The Austrian winger officially returns to Rapid Vienna, after just six games in La Liga.

According to TyC Sports, Paulo Dybala (28) is determined not to extend his contract with Juventus. An about-face since the Argentinian was close to reaching an agreement to extend his lease, which ends next summer. It would now be decided to go free.

At the time of formalizing his transfer to Aston Villa, Lucas Digne posted a farewell message to Everton supporters on social networks. And the 28-year-old left-back took the opportunity to tackle his trainer Rafael Benitez, with whom he has a tense relationship. « Sometimes, it only takes one outside person to destroy a beautiful love story, » wrote the French international (43 caps), who had extended last year until 2025 with the Toffees.

Lucas Digne is officially an Aston Villa player, who announced his signing this Thursday morning. The French side leaves Everton against the backdrop of a quarrel with his coach Rafa Benitez. The price would be 30 million euros.

It’s official, Newcastle United offers Chris Wood (30). The club have confirmed the signing of the New Zealand international forward, who was at Burnley FC.

The amount of the transfer is not disclosed, but the English press reported an offer of 24 million euros. The player signed a two-and-a-half-year contract. This is the second signing of the Magpies, after the arrival of the English side Kieran Trippier from Atlético de Madrid.

Chris Wood has scored three goals this season in the Premier League. Before that at Burnley, where he had played since 2017, he always hit the 10-goal mark in the league.

On the sidelines of the Spanish Super Cup semi-final between Real and Barça, the Catalans’ sporting director, Mateu Alemany, appeared before the journalists present to take stock of the current issues, starting with Dembélé. And for the Catalan general staff, the situation is clear: Dembélé has an offer on the table, he must decide, and quickly! « Nothing has changed with Dembélé. He knows what the club wants, he has an offer on the table and a solution must be found quickly. I hope he will stay with us. »

However, it seems that the offer does not satisfy Ousmane Dembélé who will be free next June and can already discuss with any club for next season.

In addition to the future of Petkovic on the bench of Bordeaux, Gérard Lopez has confirmed that he no longer relies on Laurent Koscielny this season. The Girondins defender replied to him via an interview in the press.

« Leave the ship like that, so there, not at all. I want to fight for the team in order to obtain the maintenance as quickly as possible. There are people here who deserve to be given for stay in L1, said the defender in an interview for the Equipee. […] And I still want to help the club. It’s a difficult time but we have to stay calm and we will find a solution. « 

Author of a very promising start to his career with Angers, Mohamed-Ali Cho arouses much envy in Europe. According to information from RMC Sport, the 17-year-old striker will only leave under certain conditions: a big offer for the SCO and a loan for the rest at Angers for the remainder of the 2021-2022 season.

If Lepipzig, Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Atlético de Madrid have taken the first steps to position themselves, the clubs have not yet moved concretely and rather wait until the end of January to activate.

The six-week injury of Benoît Badiashile does not seem to dampen Newcastle’s enthusiasm to recruit him. According to information from RMC Sport, the Magpies are still discussing with Monaco for a transfer of the 20-year-old central defender.

Author of a complicated start to the season on the Girondins bench, Vladimir Petkovic still enjoys the confidence of Gérard Lopez. Despite Bordeaux’s disappointing 17th place in Ligue 1, the president maintained his confidence in the team’s coach.

« I work in the following way: to start talking about an ultimatum for a coach, it is like waiting a few weeks to fire him, he explains in an interview with Sud-Ouest. It is not at all the case here. The project is not over a half-season, a season or even two. There is no point in changing to have an announcement effect. It would be a team response that plays in the short term, accustomed to make the lift between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2. A club in a long-term project does not respond in this way. You have to be a little more thoughtful. « 

Welcome to our live to follow all the information on the winter transfer window. If you missed Wednesday, there was a lot of talk about Bordeaux with the announced departure of Laurent Koscielny in January. A decision badly accepted by the French defender.
