The Marca newspaper spoke of it as a “dream” for Atlético de Madrid a week ago. And the track is seriously taking shape, according to L’Équipe. The Spanish club is courting Marco Verratti, under contract until 2026 at Paris SG. In private, the 30-year-old Italian midfielder would not have given any indication as to his future, he who remains a starter after a less brilliant season than the previous ones. PSG would not see themselves selling him (if they sell him) for less than 80 M€.

Various sources (L’Équipe, RMC Sport…) are in no doubt as to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s next club: it will be Olympique de Marseille. The 34-year-old Gabonese striker had already agreed with OM for a three-season lease. Chelsea would have finally agreed to a termination of his contract, one year from the end. The former Stéphanois is expected in the coming days at OM, which will play the third preliminary round of the Champions League in early August.
As surprising as it may seem, Benjamin Mendy is already finding a club, and in Ligue 1. The 2018 world champion has signed up with FC Lorient until June 2025. His contract at Manchester City came to an end on June 30. Mendy, a 29-year-old left-back, was acquitted of several rape charges in England after two trials, the second of which was completed on July 14.
Sky Sport Italia informs that Gianluigi Buffon is not sure whether to play football again. If he has one year left on his contract in Parma, in Italian D2, where he holds, the legendary goalkeeper wonders. He turned 45 last January and is said to have an offer from a Saudi club on the table. But he thinks instead of stopping there. World champion in 2006 and passed by PSG (2018-19), the emblem of Juventus should decide in the coming days.
