10/12/2022 At 3:37 PM

Laporta still dreams of Messi

Two days from Real Madrid-Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta again made a foot call to Lionel Messi, who left the Blaugrana in the summer of 2021 for PSG. “I will surely see him on Monday for the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris and I know what Barça means to him“, he told FC Barcelona TV.

• Our opinion : We should see more clearly on this file during 2023.

Gerard Pique, unwanted in Barcelona

After fourteen years of good and loyal service with the Blaugranas, Gerard Pique would now be a weight for the Catalan club, as highlighted for several months by the Spanish media. “Mateu Alemany (director of football at FC Barcelona) was very clear last Sunday at the Assembly of Commissioners when he said the club were working to eliminate a series of contracts which had a huge impact on the wage bill.[…] Everyone knows one of them is Gerard Pique“, Explain BRAND Friday. On contract until 2024, the 35-year-old defender currently receives one of the highest salaries at the club.

Inter will meet Skriniar

According to information from The Gazzetta dello Sport, the leaders of Inter Milan will soon meet Milan Skriniar’s entourage to discuss a contract extension. With a very likely qualification in the knockout stages of the Champions League, the Lombard club, which could pocket an additional ten million, should offer its defender a contract until 2027 and a salary of 6.5 million euros. PSG still hope to recruit him in January.

• Our opinion : Skriniar is at the end of his contract in 2023. This file should settle quickly, one way or the other.

What would the PSG defense give with Skriniar?

Bayern still looking for an N.9

Since the departure of Robert Lewandowski this summer in Catalonia, Bayern Munich have been in need. “One thing’s for sure, I think we’re missing a new one“, said, Uli Hoeness, the boss of the Bavarian club in a podcast produced by sports picture. To make up for this lack, names come back like that of Harry Kane, in contract until 2024 with Tottenham and for whom Bayern “would be ready to put 100 million euros next summer“, reports Bild. The Frenchman Marcus Thuram (25) could also be in the sights of the Munich people.

• Our opinion : It is clear that Lewandowski is difficult to replace. But Harry Kane, who recognized the prestige of the Bavarian club, could be a choice alternative.

Kylian Mbappé does not interest Atlético

The French player is at the heart of all discussions at the moment, due to his situation tricky at Paris Saint-Germain. And if he leaves the capital one day, it probably won’t be for Atlético Madrid. “Mbappe? We are not interested in him, although he would have a place in any team“, said Enrique Cerezo, the president of the Colchoneros.

• Our opinion : That’s good because this lack of interest seems mutual. It is not Atlético that is eyeing the Frenchman in Madrid.

Chelsea on offense for Jude Bellingham

In the small papers, Jude Bellingham would be seriously approached by Chelsea. This is reported by German journalists from Bild. According to them, the Blues would be ready to put on the table 100 million euros to pay for the services of the 19-year-old nugget from Dortmund. But Borussia would like at least 120 million euros to part with it.

• Our opinion : Dortmund is right to be demanding because the club has a precious talent, to see if Chelsea is ready to take the plunge and face competition since in Europe, the Blues are not alone on the file.

Newcastle forced to part ways with Bruno Guimaraes?

Arrived for 42 million euros in January from Lyon, Guimaraes could be sold by his Newcastle club despite the will of Dan Ashworth. “I absolutely do not want to sell Bruno. He’s a top player and a very important part of our journey. But, at some point, you have to deal with things around financial fair play. We must be able to generate money to reinvest and start again“, launched the recruitment manager of the Magpies in the tabloid The Sun. For his part, the Brazilian has expressed his desire to play in the Champions League when he would have been one of Real Madrid’s leads this summer.

• Our opinion : Let’s not get carried away. Newcastle should first negotiate before recording the separation with one of its strong men.
