Announced on the departure, Romelu Lukaku could well return to Italy … but not on the side of Inter Milan. Fabrizio Romano reports this Saturday that AS Roma has decided to take action in order to recruit the Belgian center forward on loan. Roman leaders are said to have traveled to London to speak directly with their British counterparts. The rate of the loan and the “salary cover” should be the crucial points of the negotiations. The 30-year-old ex-Manchester United striker was loaned out to the Nerazzurri last season. He is tied to the Blues until June 2026.

He should (again) change his tune. According to the latest indiscretions revealed by Fabrizio Romano, Philippe Coutinho has reached an agreement with Al-Duhail (Qatar). The Qatari club must now agree with Aston Villa in order to complete the operation. The 31-year-old Brazilian played in 20 Premier League games last season (1 goal). He joined the Villans in the winter of 2022, first on loan and then on a permanent transfer.
Free of any contract since the end of his adventure with Olympique de Marseille, Alexis Sanchez should return to Inter Milan. However, the Chilean would have liked to stay on the Canebière, as he explained in a statement posted on social media: “I had a great time and I have very good memories. Finally I would also like to clarify certain subjects and say that for my part I always wanted to stay in Marseille, said the 34-year-old striker. That’s what I’ve always wanted but it didn’t depend on me, it always takes two to agree. This time the technical management had made other choices but I respect them. Last season, the ex-Barcelonian was one of the strong men of the Marseille club with 14 goals scored and 3 assists delivered in 35 Ligue 1 matches.
Nemanja Matic, Enzo Le Fée and even Ludovic Blas… Stade Rennes has strengthened its position in midfield during the off-season. And it’s not over. Bruno Genesio explained this Friday that he was expecting an additional rookie in the midfield; and this, even if Flavien Tait were to stay one more season. “Yes, even if there is no departure, there will be another arrival perhaps in the middle”, confided the Breton technician in front of the journalists. With the recent sale of Jérémy Doku to Manchester City for €60 million, Stade Rennes has the necessary funds to activate on the transfer market and achieve a (new) big coup.
Georges Mikautadze could well play his last match with FC Metz this Sunday, against Clermont Foot 63. Indeed, as revealed by L’Équipe this Saturday, the Georgian is on the shelves of several (good) European clubs. Eintracht Frankfurt would have “checked its name” in the event of the departure of Randal Kolo Muani, tracked by Paris SG. Bologna FC 1909 would also be interested in his profile to replace Marko Arnautovic, who left for Inter Milan; just like Lazio Rome, which is still looking to strengthen offensively. The Garnets would have set its price at 20 M€. An affordable sum for interested teams. Aged 22, Georges Mikautadze was named the best player in Ligue 2 last season (23 goals and 8 assists).
