On the sidelines of the last meeting of the season at the Parc des Princes, Kylian Mbappé formalized his extension to PSG to the chagrin of Real Madrid and La Liga. A surprising choice that will bring many changes to Paris, including the organization chart. According to many French and European media, the Parisian leaders announced to Leonardo his dismissal after the meeting. The Brazilian sporting director could be replaced by Luis Campos. Leonardo should take Mauricio Pochettino with him in his fall.
The latter should be sacked in the coming days. Zinédine Zidane remains the priority of PSG who would also think of Christophe Galtier, according to The Team. The latter was the coach of Lille when Luis Campos was the recruiter. Former Belgium coach Roberto Martinez is also on the books. According to RMCcontacts are still established between Zizou and the Emir of Qatar and could be tempted while Telefoot understands that the Marseillais by birth will not come.
At the same time, Paris has already activated its tracks for recruitment and would have as a new priority, Ousmane Dembélé. Mbappé’s friend is at the end of his contract in Barcelona in June and would be, with his agent, in discussions directly with Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, according to Footmercato and RMC. Announced leaving, Keylor Navas let him know that he wanted to stay in Paris despite the competition.
After the end of the soap operas Mbappé and Haaland, those of Paul Pogba and Ousmane Dembélé are among the most important at present. Unless there is a turnaround like his teammate in selection with PSG, Paul Pogba should sign his contract with Juventus during the week. The French international, at the end of his contract at Manchester United, will return for three years with a salary of 7.5 million euros per year plus 2.5 million bonuses, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
Massimiliano Allegri said in a press conference that the club knew what the player wanted. Angel Di Maria is also expected to land at Juve after his tearful farewell at the Parc des Princes yesterday.
According to brand, after the resounding failure concerning the expected arrival of Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid have decided to turn all their attention to another French Ligue 1 international: Aurélien Tchouameni. The Merengue will try to quickly conclude the transfer of the midfielder from AS Monaco before looking into the future offensive track. The people of Madrid would especially like not to be overtaken again against their new enemy, PSG.
According to Picture, Barcelona have reportedly made a first official offer for Robert Lewandowski. The Catalans would have offered 32 million euros to Bayern Munich who would claim 40 million. This explosive transfer could therefore arrive sooner than expected. The player still wants to leave but Bayern would like to find his replacement before listening to offers, according to Fabrizio Romano.
If there was little doubt that he was going to leave OM at the end of his contract, Marseille supporters and Pablo Longoria still dreamed of a turnaround for Boubacar Kamara. The midfielder officially announced at the microphone of Telefoot the end of his adventure with his training club. The 22-year-old decided to discover another championship and admitted that he had already made his choice when it came to his future club. He should announce the name of his destination in the coming days.
If he has found a starting role at the end of the season, Steve Mandanda could well leave OM this summer to save playing time. OGC Nice would push to recruit the French international to replace Walter Benitez, at the end contract in June, according to Footmercato. The club’s sporting director, Julien Fournier, has been in discussions with the porter for several months and is still trying to convince him. It remains to be seen whether this possibility will appeal to Christophe Galtier.
William Saliba has once again let it be known that he would like to discover the Champions League with OM but must let the club negotiate with Arsenal.
After announcing his departure from Juventus, Giorgio Chiellini would be very close to having found his next and certainly last club. According to Fabrizio Romano, the 37-year-old Italian defender has reached a salary agreement with Los Angeles FC.
