Sanches, return to sender?

Came on at half-time, replaced 18 minutes later. That, in a nutshell, is Renato Sanches’ weekend with Roma. If José Mourinho publicly apologized to his player after the match, the Italian media reported this Monday the possible departure of the midfielder at the end of the season. Loaned by PSG, with a purchase option that could become obligatory, the Portuguese international is therefore promised a return to Paris.

Our opinion: From injuries to performances, Sanches is living a nightmare in Rome. Paris will probably try to part with it definitively next summer.

Van de Beek in Frankfurt, it’s imminent

According to information from Sky Germany, subsequently confirmed by Sky Sports News, Donny van de Beek will leave Manchester United to join Eintracht Frankfurt in January. It should be a loan with an option to buy in favor of the German club, with a medical examination scheduled for this week.

Our opinion: Van de Beek finally finds a way out.

Dortmund in the footsteps of Reguilon?

Still on the Manchester United side, the daily The Mirror indicates that Sergio Reguilon, on loan from Tottenham to the Red Devils, is currently being followed by Borussia Dortmund. He has only played 405 minutes so far. As a result, the German club could take advantage of this to relaunch it from the winter transfer window.

Our opinion: Complicated to break a loan in the middle of the season, but the BvB could still try it.

“PSG has far too many flaws to win the Champions League”

L’Inter will replace Cuadrado…

Injured for around three months, Juan Cuadrado disrupts Inter Milan’s plans for the winter transfer window. “We did not plan to intervene, but this injury changes things,” confirmed sporting director Piero Ausilio in comments relayed by the Italian media. Leader of Serie A, Inter will therefore try to offer Simone Inzaghi reinforcement this winter.

Our opinion: Inter has three competitions to play (Serie A, C1, Italian Cup) thoroughly. This injury must therefore be remedied.

…and Real will do the same with Alaba

Victim of a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Real Madrid’s victory against Villarreal (4-1) on Sunday, David Alaba will not see the field again this season. As a result, Carlo Ancelotti probably expects reinforcements in central defense this winter, he who only has two professional central defenders (Rüdiger and Nacho). “We will see in the coming days if we can do something,” announced Ancelotti. “In case of emergency, the first option remains Tchouaméni. He had a good match in this position against Osasuna this season.”
