Nice, the unlikely way out for Icardi?
Announced with insistence on the Monza side by the Gazzetta dello Sport, Mauro Icardi could very well stay in Ligue 1. Still according to the transalpine daily, OGC Nice would have ticked the name of the 29-year-old striker. The Gym would like to separate from Kasper Dolberg and would be ready to try the loan of the Argentinian international to replace him.
- Our opinion : A departure is an absolute necessity for Icardi. In Nice, the Argentinian could find an ideal setting to revive. But we rather believe in a return to Italy for the former Interist.

- Our opinion : The next few days promise to be very interesting to follow on the PSG side.

Paquet was in no hurry to leave OL
Yet another sign of an ambitious OL? Announced on the shelves of Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, PSG or Newcastle, Lucas Paqueta does not seem determined to leave Olympique Lyonnais, despite the absence of the European Cup next season. This is reported by ESPN Brazil on Tuesday. The Brazilian international would even see himself continuing at Lyon.
- Our opinion : Paqueta, Lacazette, Tetê, Toko-Ekambi, Cherki and more, OL’s attack looks good on paper.

5-star degreasing in sight at Chelsea
In the midst of negotiations to strengthen offensively (Neymar, Raphinha) and defensively (De Ligt, Aké, Koulibaly or even Koundé), Chelsea are still looking to downsize despite the departures of Lukaku, Christiansen and Rüdiger. According to information from the Daily Mail, five players would be invited to pack their bags, and not the least: Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jorginho.
Coincidentally, the main team interested in these five players would be … Juventus Turin. But AC Milan would lead the dance to recover Ziyech according to La Repubblica and would be in full negotiations with the Blues.
- Our opinion : This summer of 2022 is clearly that of a change of cycle at Chelsea. The Blues should recover good cash to move forward on other issues.

Marotta closes the door to Dybala
Stupor in Italy. While his arrival at Inter was almost beyond a shadow of a doubt, Paulo Dybala will not join Inter Milan. Beppe Marotta, the internal sports director, announced it at a press conference. “I just want to come back to a subject that has been talked about a lot. (…) Dybala represented an opportunity, but we must not forget that we are provided in the offensive sector: we have a certain number of heavy players, that the manager will have to manage as well as possible. But we respect the player.”
- Our opinion : The possibilities are reduced for “La Joya” which could see its future written outside the transalpine borders.

Newcastle relaunches Diaby track
Magpies flashback for Diaby? While the track seemed ruled out in recent weeks, Newcastle could soon try its luck for the French international (8 selections) according to Sky Sports. But the file promises to be very complicated since Bayer Leverkusen expects no less than 70 million euros to release the former Parisian.
- Our opinion : It is indeed very compromised for Newcastle: Bayer is tough in business and it seems unlikely that Diaby will leave a few months before the World Cup.
Nkunku, Kimpembe, Diaby… who scored the most points?
Triplet of extensions of choice at Real Madrid?
The Casa Blanca will reward its heroes. Authors of a very good season with the Madrid club, including the Liga-Champions League double, Rodrygo, Éder Militão and Vinicius Junior will return to Real Madrid, as announced by Marca. The first city should resign until 2026 while the defender and the winger would be close to an extension until 2028. All should have a release clause of one billion euros.
- Our opinion : A just reward for the Brazilian trio and a new strong signal from Real Madrid to include them in its very long-term project.
“With Tchouaméni, Real is winning its youth bet”
Aké, more than an “emergency solution” for Chelsea?
While the Blues are still making Matthijs De Ligt their top priority for next season, the name of Nathan Aké still comes up insistently on the side of Stamford Bridge. the Daily Mail explains that the interest in the Dutch defender, spent with the Blues in his youth, would be more and more insistent on the part of the London club. The latter would begin to be wary of Bayern Munich who would also be interested in the profile of the former Ajax player. And reciprocally…
- Our opinion : Aké is not a consolation prize and will certainly be a very good (re)take for Chelsea.

Belotti or Embolo: the heart of Monaco swings…
Free since leaving Torino, Andrea Belotti could land on the Rock. Announced in recent days in Monaco, the Italian international (44 caps, 12 goals) would be close to an agreement with the club of the Principality for an annual salary of 3.5 million euros, as explained The Republic.
But Monaco would also have an eye on Breel Embolo as reported Sky Sports tonight. The Monegasque club have even made an offer of 10 million euros for the Swiss at the end of the contract in 2023 with ‘Gladbach.
- Our opinion : Belotti or Embolo, it will be either one or the other for Monaco… But there is still something exciting about the Belotti bet.

According to information from Sky Deutschland, the Nati goalkeeper has reached an agreement with the Aiglons where he will find Lucien Favre, coach during his first season at ‘Gladbach. It only remains for Nice to reach an agreement with Borussia.
- Our opinion : Very nice shot in sight for the Gym. Benitez gone, Nice loses nothing in quality with the arrival of the Swiss international.

Lingard close to West Ham return
The Hammers are on the verge of finding their lucky charm from the start of 2021. Free of any contract, Jesse Lingard could return to West Ham, as reported by the Daily Mail on Tuesday. The London club is in direct competition with Tottenham and especially Everton to attract the now ex-Manchester United midfielder.
- Our opinion : Lingard knows the house and the London recipe for relaunching. A signing at West Ham seems logical and almost essential for the player.

Manchester United formalizes (finally) Malacia
This time, it’s done. Despite a misunderstanding with his representatives last week, Tyrell Malacia is finally a Manchester United player. Coveted by OL, the 22-year-old Dutch side has signed up until 2026 with the Red Devils. An option for a fifth season is also in the deal. The Mancunian club paid nearly 15 million euros to afford the player.
- Our opinion : Malacia is one of the future greats in his position. With Ten Hag, the Batavian can find an even bigger place in the sun.
Origi is an AC Milan player
Divock Origi arrives in Italy. As announced for many weeks already, the Belgian international has signed up with AC Milan. Free of any contract since the end of his adventure with Liverpool, the former Lille resident has signed up until June 2026 with the Italian champion.
- Our opinion : We have already repeated it several times: Origi is a very good pickaxe for the Milanese. What’s more, at (very) low cost.
Satriano back on loan from Inter Milan
Loaned to Brest for the past six months where he has been rather prominent, Martin Satriano (21) is again temporarily sold, without an option to buy, by Inter Milan. Relations are in good shape between Empoli and Inter as the striker joins the Tuscan club for the coming season. Olympique de Marseille was, for a time, one of the clubs interested in the Uruguayan.
- Our opinion : A hard blow for OM and the other interested parties: Satriano could have rendered valuable services to many teams, sometimes better ranked.
New adventure in Rome for Celik
End clap for Zeki Çelik in Lille. Arrived in 2018, the Turkish international leaves the North of France one year from the end of his contract. The 25-year-old defender has signed up for the next four seasons at Roma where he will compete with Rick Karsdorp. The club coached by José Mourinho spent 7 million euros to secure his services.
- Our opinion : An intelligent recruitment on the part of the Wolf who will play in the Europa League next season.
Samba, Lens’ new goalkeeper
Nottingham Forest lose their playoff hero. Expected for a few days, the departure of Brice Samba for Lens has been confirmed by the promoted. The former Olympique de Marseille player has signed up for the next five seasons with the Sang et Or. Highly coveted, the 28-year-old goalkeeper will compete with Jean-Louis Leca and will numerically replace Wulkier Faríñez, victim of a rupture of the cruciate ligaments at the beginning of June and absent for several months.
- Our opinion : Samba comes out of a big season with Forest. His arrival will do good to the Artesians.
Brest tries the Dembélé bet
Great hope of Celtic where he broke many precocious records with a first professional contract at 15, Karamoko Dembélé (19) has not yet experienced the expected flight. The Scottish winger will try to definitively launch his career with Stade Brestois, where he has signed up for the next four seasons.
- Our opinion : A rather intriguing bet for the people of Brest. If it hits the mark, Dembélé can be one hell of a weapon at Michel Der Zakarian’s disposal.
