ligue 1
Monaco believed in it until the end and deserved to come back to the score in Lorient (2-2) as Philippe Clement’s team dominated the match. It was once more Wissam Ben Yedder, who entered a few minutes earlier, who placed a close header in the area to deceive Mannone, very wait-and-see on the spot (2-2, 90th +3), and save his people. The Bretons had taken the advantage thanks to their Moffi-Ouattara doublet, the second equalizing (1-1, 75th) before delivering a decisive pass to his Nigerian friend (2-1, 77th). They had long believed in an unexpected success, but with three amounts touched and dangerous situations in spades, in particular a penalty taken away by the VAR for an offside from the toe of Wanderson’s shoe, ASM had mastered the meeting. until black hole a few minutes.
We do not know if Montpellier wanted to celebrate the induction of Didier Digard on the bench but his open house operation allowed Nice to win their most convincing success of the season (6-1). The team begins following Lucien Favre in an ultra positive way. Nicolas Pépé, author of a double, was untenable like Kephren Thuram, scorer too. Digard even had the pleasure of relaunching Andy Delort who took the opportunity to plant a superb recovery from the left following his missed right… But in terms of the masterpiece, it is on the side of an exceptional free kick from Téji Savanier that you have to look for, a strike in the top corner. This magic paw should not make us forget the pitiful match of Montpellier, obviously came on a pleasure visit to the Côte d’Azur. This, fortunately, will not prevent Digard from savoring this first happiness as a coach. His group has experienced so many setbacks this season that he can hope that this success signals the start of a revolt. It would be premature to come forward but this demonstration already offers a nice breath of fresh air for the club.
In search of a creative player capable of being prolific, Olympique de Marseille will record the arrival of Ruslan Malinovskyi. Announced close to the Marseille club, last summer, the Ukrainian attacking midfielder will leave Atalanta once morest a check for 13 million euros, bonus included.
Malinovskyi will continue his Marseille career.
With the successive departures of Cdric Bakambu, Arkadiusz Milik and Luis Suarez, Olympique de Marseille might have legitimately positioned themselves as a leading striker for this winter transfer window. But Igor Tudor has proven since his arrival that he prefers versatile players capable of occupying the entire front of the offensive sector. To satisfy the Croatian coach, Pablo Longoria is regarding to pull off a pretty good shot.
A loan with a mandatory purchase option
Indeed, the president of the Marseille team has his first recruit in January: Ruslan Malinovskyi (29). Targeted for many months, the Ukrainian attacking midfielder finally stayed at Atalanta despite an approach from Tottenham. While he remains under contract until 2024 (with an optional year), the player passed by Genk will not finish the Bergamo season since he will take the direction of Canebire to continue his career there.
According to information from the journalist specializing in the transfer window, Fabrizio Romano, the two teams have reached an agreement for a loan with a compulsory purchase option of 13 million euros, including 3 million euros in bonuses, on the subject of unification. from Zhytomyr. He is expected in the Sudisted city on Monday to satisfy the traditional medical examination before signing his new lease, which would last four years, with the vice-champion of France.
Less well this season, but…
This is a nice shot in perspective for Marseille. Even if his performances have been less successful since the start of the exercise (1 goal in 15 games), Malinovskyi has proven his worth with the Dea over the past three seasons with a flattering record of 29 goals and 23 assists. in 128 games. His mule strike and his ability to perform well in support of a scorer obviously convinced OM to open the door to him. Much to Tudor’s delight.

Therefore, in the first battle on January 6, Ronaldo might only sit in the stands and watch.
In an interview with Agence France-Presse on January 5, a senior official of Riyadh Victory explained: “Riyadh Victory has not registered for Ronaldo because there is no foreign aid quota. In order for Ronaldo to register, a foreign aid has to leave. Either transfer, Either terminate the contract.” According to outside speculation, the most likely to make room for Ronaldo is the 29-year-old Uzbekistan striker Jalolidin Masharipo.
