The TOP 6 files of the week that should not be missed
1. Zidane coach… in Brazil?
In search of a successor Tite as coach, Brazil has drawn up a composite portrait of the ideal candidate. According to information from L’Equipe, the Brazilian Federation (CBF) is looking for a free and experienced foreign coach. If Thomas Tuchel or Robert Martinez correspond to this profile, the sports daily reveals the Zinedine Zidane temptation!
The Frenchman is still on the market and, unless Didier Deschamps finally decides to release the position of coach of the France team, he is ready to take control of a club. The ex-n10 of the Blues won three Champions League with Real Madrid (2016, 2017, 2018) and has a good rating in Brazil. His former players, like Vinicius Junior, Casemiro and Eder Militao, would also hope for his arrival on the Auriverde bench. It remains to be seen whether Zizou would be tempted by the challenge.
2. Jackpot for Ronaldo!
After weeks of rumours, Cristiano Ronaldo (37) is officially an Al-Nassr player! The Saudi club formalized the signing of the striker on Friday, free after terminating his contract with Manchester United during the World Cup. According to the latest information, the five-time Ballon d’Or has committed until June 2025 with the key to a remuneration of 200 million euros per year taking into account salary and various commercial income. A reinforcement of choice for coach Rudi Garcia!
3. No recruit at PSG
After having hosted the last transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain is preparing to be wise this winter. At least that’s what the coach of the capital club, Christophe Galtier, announced on Friday at a press conference. The technician says that no recruit is expected, even in the position of central defender where the abortive arrival of Milan Skriniar has sometimes been felt in recent months.
This is not topical (recruiting a central defender, editor’s note). We have a young player El Chadaille (Bitshiabu). It has enormous potential. Going for a defender at this time would be blocking his space. It is a will of the club to promote our young talents first highlighted the technician before giving a more global overview. I am very happy and satisfied with my squad. There will be no arrival if there is no departure. At the moment, we don’t have any players who have asked to go elsewhere, which means that they are fine here. Joao Felix, Enzo Fernandez, Sofyan Amrabat… A priori, the Ligue 1 leader will therefore not interfere in these various issues in January.
4. The Thauvin rumor has already been denied at OM
On Monday, the Mexican media Debate explained that the Tigres de Monterrey wanted to part ways with Florian Thauvin (29) and send him back to Olympique de Marseille. A rumor that has caused a lot of talk but which should, unsurprisingly, remain at the rumor stage. Indeed, even if the Marseille president Pablo Longoria is looking for an opportunity to strengthen his attacking sector after the serious injury of Amine Harit and the hoped-for departure of Gerson, OM are not interested in a return of their former winger. Marseilles absolutely never thought of it according to information from La Provence. The Tigers will therefore have to look for another base for the French international.
5. Enzo Fernandez has made his choice
The best young player of the World Cup in Qatar, Enzo Fernandez (21) should indeed leave Benfica this winter. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Argentinian midfielder has already agreed with Chelsea, who offered him a huge salary extension to move to London. Nevertheless, the transfer of the world champion could cost more than expected. Indeed, the Portuguese formation has already announced that it wishes to recover the 120 million euros from the player’s release clause. In order not to pay this sum in one payment, the leaders of the Blues will have to negotiate a higher price with their Lisbon counterparts. The latest proposal, of 130 million euros, could therefore be revised upwards in order to spread the settlement of the transaction over several seasons.
6. Turnaround for Kant!
At the end of his contract next June, Chelsea midfielder Ngolo Kant (31) was often present at the start due to difficult discussions for a possible extension. But according to information from the media The Athletic, the situation has evolved positively between the two camps. If an agreement has not yet been found, the French international and the Blues, despite facing real competition on this issue, obviously have a common desire to agree on a new deal. Despite the last few months very complicated due to physical problems, Kant is still in the plans of the London club for the future.
