Delort seeks to relaunch in L1

Six months after his arrival in Umm-Salal, Andy Delort decided to leave the Qatari championship. As L’Equipe announces, the Algerian international striker is looking to relaunch in L1. Firstly, he could meet physically with AC Ajaccio (L2).

Our opinion: At 32 years old, the former Montpellier still has the potential to show great things in L1.

Barça thinks of Leao

According to information from the Spanish daily Sport, FC Barcelona has been interested in Rafael Leao for around a year and could go on the offensive during the summer transfer window. However, other heavyweights in European football, notably PSG, are following the matter closely.

Our opinion: Barça will have to considerably reduce its payroll if it wants to hope to achieve its goals on the Rafael Leao file.

…and wants to extend de Jong

While he has finally established himself at FC Barcelona, Dutch international Frenkie de Jong could soon receive a contract extension offer, Sport announced this Tuesday. Indeed, the Blaugrana could offer three additional seasons to the ex-Ajax Amsterdam player, currently linked to the Catalan club until June 2026. However, the reigning Spanish champion would consider a pay cut in the new midfield lease.

Our opinion: By proposing these conditions, Barça risks seeing Frenkie de Jong leave in the coming months.

“It’s a sick Real Sociedad arriving at the Park”

Will Anderson see Juventus?

According to Il Messaggero, Juventus Turin has an agreement with Felipe Anderson’s agent for an arrival next summer. At the Bianconeri, the 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder could receive a salary of 4 million euros per year. However, Lazio Rome has not yet said its last word on this matter.

Our opinion: After three years with the Roman club, the Brazilian might want to take a further step in his career.

Fernandez does not want to leave Chelsea

Arriving for around 121 million euros in January 2023, Enzo Fernandez fails to confirm the expectations placed on him at Chelsea. In an interview with ESPN, the 2022 world champion suggested that he “does not intend to leave the Blues”. “Since my first day here, I have felt really good with my teammates and the staff,” said the Argentine midfielder.

Our opinion: In the event of an interesting offer this summer, Chelsea could invite him to leave.

Zielenski and Taremi at Inter, Sanchez on departure

Linked to Napoli until next June, Polish international midfielder Piotr Zielinski should wear the colors of Inter Milan next season, announces La Gazzetta dello Sport. Indeed, he would have already passed his medical examination this Monday just like Iranian international striker Mehdi Taremi, who is coming to the end of his lease with Porto. In the opposite direction, Alexis Sanchez will leave the Lombard club free this summer.
