Dusan Vlahovic in the sights of PSG? Fabrizio Romano mentioned it two days ago, specifying that the 23-year-old Serbian international striker could leave Juventus this summer and that he is one of the Parisian tracks. Le Parisien confirms and goes further, evoking “a track to be taken very seriously” and which has recently taken “a real thickness”. And for good reason, Harry Kane seems promised to Bayern and Victor Osimhen (Naples) is very, very expensive (€180m?). Under contract until 2026 at Juve, Vlahovic could leave Turin against a check for around 70 million euros, it is said. Above all, he would welcome a transfer to Paris. Last but not least, the possible arrival of the former Fiorentina player would not close the door to Randal Kolo Muani (Frankfurt), knowing that the latter can evolve on the right side. The priority is still called Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), but it will obviously not be easy to poach the Portuguese international…
Still according to Le Parisien, the 24-year-old former Nantes resident, under contract until 2027 with Eintracht, retains a (very) good rating in Paris, especially with President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. Especially since the capital club still hopes to “Frenchify” its locker room. So far, only Lucas Hernandez has swelled the tricolor ranks this summer. Vlahovic scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists in 42 matches last season. 23 goals and 17 assists in 46 matches for Kolo Muani. Note that these two players can play very well with Kylian Mbappé, whom Paris-SG still hopes to extend and therefore keep this summer.
What about Neymar Jr? Under contract until 2027, the 31-year-old Brazilian is in the dark, like everyone in Paris while waiting for Kylian Mbappé’s decision. Could he become central again in Luis Enrique’s ‘attacking’ game? “I haven’t spoken to Neymar yet. That’s the kind of thing I’d love to tell you, but it’s inside information. I have to talk to the players first”, had eluded the Spanish technician, last week, during his first press conference as PSG coach. One thing is certain: “Ney” will not return to Barca. On the side of Mundo Deportivo, we assure that his agents have taken the pulse of the Barcelona side. Closed door at Camp Nou, where the operation is considered “economically unfeasible” and where Xavi has, it is said, put his veto, fearing for the balance of the locker room. The most expensive man in the world (€222m) scored 118 goals and delivered 77 assists in 173 matches with PSG. A priori, he is not willing to leave for Saudi Arabia.
As we know, Paris Saint-Germain want a center forward, and this desire is to be decorrelated from the soap opera Kylian Mbappé. A few months earlier, Victor Osimhen was “the priority” of PSG, claimed RMC Sport. Still the case? The president of Naples, Aurelio De Laurentiis, did not dodge the subject on Monday. Will Osimhen, 24, be Neapolitan next season? “Absolutely, replied De Laurentiis at a press conference. But as I said before, if a more than indecent proposal comes along, we’ll move on and find another great talent.” At the microphone of SportMediaset, De Laurentiis was then more direct vis-à-vis the Parisian club. “The only club that could buy Osimhen is PSG,” said De Laurentiis. So if Nasser Al-Khelaïfi wants to offer 200 M€, we wait and we will evaluate.” PSG have already spent more than €150m this summer, excluding signing bonuses. A sale of Mbappé to Real Madrid could, however, upset the business.
It has been a month since Saudi Arabia has been flirting with Bernardo Silva, star of Manchester City with whom he has just won the Champions League. The American media CBS delivers the details of Al-Hilal’s offer for the 28-year-old Portuguese attacking midfielder, also courted by PSG. City could cash a check for €70m, and Bernardo Silva receive an annual salary of €50m over three seasons. Al-Hilal has already spent €50m to snatch his compatriot Ruben Neves from Wolverhampton, after getting his hands on Kalidou Koulibaly (ex-Chelsea).
The newspaper L’Équipe is dedicating its front page this Tuesday to the quest for a (great) striker at Olympique de Marseille. The more we advance, the more the chances that Alexis Sanchez (34 years old) extends for a season diminish. To compensate for his probable departure, OM are not very advanced. Wissam Ben Yedder, if he could leave Monaco, will not come. The Frenchman sees himself re-leaving France at the age of 32, and OM doubt his compatibility under Marcelino. Folarin Balogun (Arsenal, 22) would be too expensive, Iliman Ndiaye (Sheffield, 23) too. The Mehdi Taremi track (Porto, 30) would not be advanced either. Marseille are under pressure, less than a month from the third preliminary round of the Champions League.
