Month: July 2023

Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato reports this afternoon that Real Madrid have been in contact with Monaco over a potential transfer for Aurélien Tchouaméni, and an offer could be set to arrive soon.

The 22-year-old is now the La Liga’s side’s priority this summer after Kylian Mbappé opted to remain at Paris Saint-Germain, and his current club’s asking price is set at €70m.

Tchouaméni, who is under contract with Monaco until 2025, is also a target of Liverpool, with Jürgen Klopp also making the Frenchman’s arrival a priority for the summer.

However, Real Madrid have no intention of being beaten to a high-profile Ligue 1 talent for the second time in a row, and are looking to wrap up a transfer as soon as possible. They have now been in contact with both the club and the player’s agent.

Paris Saint-Germain are also in the race. Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been speaking to Tchouaméni’s agent, while Kylian Mbappé would also like to see the former Bordeaux man at the club.

 

Lille have this afternoon announced the termination of goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis’ contract with the club by mutual consent.

The 36-year-old joined Les Dogues in 2020 from Napoli, as part of Victor Osimhen’s much-contested transfer to the Italian side, and leaves having played one game, last year.

The Greek international has previously played for Panathinaikos in his home country, before going on to turn out for Udinese, Granada and Watford.

Speaking to Téléfoot this morning, Karim Benzema discussed Kylian Mbappé’s decision to turn down Real Madrid and sign a contract renewal with Paris Saint-Germain.

The French striker, who last night won his fifth Champions League title with the Spaniards, had often spoken in the past of the prospect of playing with the former Monaco man at club level.

“I would have liked him to realise his dream and for us to play for Real Madrid together. Now he’s chosen PSG, and it has to be respected. He’s young, he has a lot of responsibilities on him, it’s his choice.”

“He’s a PSG player, and we’ll enjoy playing for the national team together. I’m not upset because everyone makes choices. I’m happy and I hope he’ll do some good things.”

“[On whether it will impact their friendship and relationship in the France team] Never. We are good friends.”

As reported by Goal, PSG’s young midfielder Xavi Simons is close to extending his deal at the club.

Out-of-contract this summer, the 19-year-old midfielder had been looking for more game time towards the end of the season, which didn’t arrive despite promises from the club. An extension had seemed unlikely.

However, his entourage have confirmed to Goal that a new deal “is on the right track”.

According to Santi Aouna, Real Madird have lodged a bid for AS Monaco midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni (22) of over €80m. 

However, Aouna reports that the bid is not enough to make the Principality side “yield” as they also concurrently discuss a deal with PSG. Luis Campos and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi held discussions with the player and his entourage last week and are very keen to bring the French international to the Parc des Princes.

Aouna says that we’re entering into the “money time” of the discussions. Real Madrid remain in a good position to complete a deal, although PSG are hot on their heels. The bidding for the player is expected to continue in the coming hours. 

Soon-to-be out-of-contract striker Andrea Belotti (28) is a target for AS Monaco, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. 

Belotti is yet to accept a contract extension at his current club Torino, and with only a matter of weeks left on his current deal, AS Monaco are interested in snapping up the Italian international on a free transfer. 

Belotti scored 8 goals in 16 Serie A starts last season. It is not yet clear whether he is perceived as a potential replacement for Wissam Ben Yedder (31), who has been linked with a surprise move to Barcelona.

Ignazio Genuardi is reporting that soon-to-be free agent Chancel Mbemba (27) is a target for Ligue 1 rivals Lyon and Marseille, although his wage demands could prove to be a stumbling block in any potential move.

According to Genuardi, Porto gave the Congolese centre-back a chance to renew his current deal at the club, but he declined as he is “looking for a new challenge.”  Lyon and Marseille are both interested in the player, but he is seeking an annual salary of €3m. 

Having lost William Saliba (21), who has returned back to parent club Arsenal after a fruitful year at the Orange Vélodrome, Marseille are looking to strengthen their defensive option. Lyon are planning their own rebuild, and have already re-signed former striker Alexandre Lacazette (31), whilst they have also “established contacts” with Corentin Tolisso’s (27) entourage about a return to the Groupama stadium. 

Mbemba has made 87 league appearances for Porto since arriving from Newcastle in 2018. During that time, he has won the domestic division twice, including this year, where he notched up 31 appearances – his most in a league season in Portugal. 

Speaking on the subject of his future at Arsenal on TF1, William Saliba (21) confirmed that he would be returning to his parent club this pre-season, dashing Marseille’s hopes of retaining the young French defender. 

The former Marseille loanee said, “I belong to Arsenal, and I still have two years there. I will be there for pre-season with Arsenal. I have played zero matches with Arsenal and I want to show them what I’m made of and have the chance to play for the supporters and for this big club.”

He continued, “That doesn’t depend solely on me. In any case, leaving (Arsenal) like that would be a shame.”

The interview with Telefoot brings to an end the speculation about his future. Last month, Marseille President Pablo Longoria had said that it was the desire of both the club and the player that Saliba stayed with Les Phocéens. 

As reported by L’Équipe, Lorient’s creative midfielder Enzo Le Fée is attracting interest from Germany this summer.

The 22-year-old had struggled to impose himself in the early part of the season, despite considerable hype and talent, but enjoyed a riotous end to the campaign, which has caught the eye of Bundesliga sides. That’s despite FCL considering offering the player a contract extension with his current deal running to 2024.

Two unnamed German clubs and several French teams are monitoring the player’s situation ahead of the summer transfer window, say the sports daily, who is on France under 21 duty this week.

During Alexandre Lacazette’s unveiling as a Lyon player, president Jean-Michel Aulas confirmed that he is working on bringing another former Lyon player, Corentin Tolisso (27), back to the club. 

Like Lacazette, Tolisso is a free agent having run down his contract at Bayern Munich, where he has experienced an injury-ridden spell. 

On a potential return for Tolisso, Aulas said, “I can confirm that contact has been established. Tolisso is in a different context to Lacazette, but the contact has been established. Clearly, the contact wasn’t established as long ago as with Lacazette and there are other considerations.”

He continued, “But there are others players, free or not that interest us as well, because as I’ve said, the recruitment will be ambitious.”

On a return for Tolisso, new signing Lacazette said, “He’s a free agent so the club could lean towards him. I don’t know if he has any other offers, but I’m pushing for him to arrive. After that, I’ll let the President sort out the contractual side.”
