… and said goodbye to Kessié

It was expected and it is now official: at the end of the contract with AC Milan, Franck Kessié formalized his departure, without specifying his point of departure (which will be Barça). “After five years, I couldn’t hope to end this great experience in a better way! A unique emotion: we are Italian champions! Proud to have worn this glorious jersey and to have shared this journey with fantastic companions! Thank you for everything ! Thank you all! Your “President”.“Wrote the Italian midfielder.

• Our opinion : Despite an unkept promise and the resentment of the tifosi, Kessié and Milan part as good friends.

Arsenal eyeing two City players

According to Daily Mail, Arsenal are reportedly considering a double shot in the Manchester City dressing room. While the Gunners have apparently set their sights on Gabriel Jesus, Mikel Arteta would like to recover another player from England champions squad : Oleksandr Zinchenko. If the Brazilian striker would certainly hold the keys to Arsenal’s attack, the Ukrainian international would strengthen Arteta’s midfield, in addition to being able to help out at left-back.

• Our opinion : Jesus and Zinchenko can improve the Gunners.

Neves, one of Barça’s priorities

Close to agent Jorge Mendes, the management of FC Barcelona wants to use this relationship to attract Ruben Neves into their nets. The Portuguese, who plays for Wolverhampton (33 matches played in the Premier League this season), would be one of the priorities of the Catalan club, who is looking for a lining for Sergio Busquets. And if we are to believe the information of Sportthe Barça pourrait included Oscar Mingueza, Riqui Puig and Nico Gonzalez dans le deal.

Correa open to Atletico departure

After eight years in the ranks colchoneros, Angel Correa (27) wants to move on, according to information from the Madrid media Marca. Substitute in the two legs of the quarter-final lost against Manchester City in the Champions League, the native of Rosario would be worn out to be only a second knife during important posters. While the Argentinian initialed an extension to his lease just a few months ago, Correa would be tired of living in the shadow of Joao Felix and Antoine Griezmann, these main competitors in attack.

• Our opinion : Often criticized for his irregularity and lack of efficiency, Angel Correa still seemed to take a step forward this season (12 goals, 5 assists in La Liga), even if he is often overtaken by the big names. The timing inevitably questions, four months after its extension, but the Argentinian has no more time to lose.

But what will Mané choose?

On the eve of the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid at the Stade de France, Sadio Mané insisted on not disclosing anything on his future career intentions. “Honestly, I’m fully focused on Saturday’s game. But come back to me afterwards and I’ll give you whatever you want to hear”said the candidate for the Ballon d’Or during an interview with Liverpool Echo. According to many sources, Bayern Munich would be in pole position to offer the services of the Senegalese striker.

• Our opinion : Everything in its time. Especially if he wants to leave, Sadio Mané is right to wait for the C1 final.

The love story will continue between Ibra and Milan

While he will not play again until 2023 following right knee surgery, Zlatan Ibrahimovic will see his contract with AC Milan stop at the end of the season. But during an interview with the Gazzetta dello SportPaolo Maldini did not close the door to an extension, quite the contrary: “I spoke with him and we agreed on a meeting in two weeks. I see no problem with an agreement. Everything will be done for his good and that of Milan”said the Milanese sporting director, confirming information from Eurosport. Almost 41 years old, Ibra has therefore not said his last word.

• Our opinion : a final extension would be as well deserved as a fine end to Ibrahimovic’s career.
