Pogba, Laporte, Thuram: The 11 transfer window information that you missed Saturday, August 21, 2021

Pogba set to stay at Manchester United

For Sky Italy, French international midfielder Paul Pogba will stay with the Red Devils. Manchester United are again in talks with their agent, Mino Raiola, over his contract, but there is no agreement yet.

• Our opinion : Unless yet another twist, the club where Paul Pogba will play this season seems well and well known.

Laporte pushed towards the exit?

Manchester City would not have crossed out on Harry Kane. And to have all its chances, the club would think of separating from several players including Aymeric Laporte. According to information from Daily Mail, the Spanish international defender could leave if an offer of around 70 million euros reaches the Citizens.

• Our opinion : It would be surprising to see a club put such a sum on the defender.

Inter will have to make a choice

Sky Italy takes stock of Inter’s transfer window and his search for an additional striker. Lukaku is gone, Dzeko has arrived, and the hot trail of the moment leads to Marcus Thuram. The Italian club and Borussia Mönchengladbach could thus agree on a transfer of a large twenty million euros. At the same time, the Milanese management is working on the Joaquin Correa dossier. The case is less advanced, but if the negotiations go well, Simone Inzaghi will have to decide between the two. A decision will be taken no earlier than Sunday, the goal being to have one more striker for the second day of Serie A, next weekend.

• Our opinion : The waltz of the Serie A forwards should therefore not yet know its epilogue.

Salah could extend to Liverpool …

This Friday, Jürgen Klopp, the Liverpool coach, announced that discussions have been opened between the club and its Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah (29), in order to discuss an extension of the latter.

• Our opinion : Liverpool will inevitably have the arguments that will make it stay.

… just like Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United

According to information from Sky Italy, Manchester United are still working on Bruno Fernandes’ new contract since July. The Portuguese international midfielder arrived at the club in 2020.

• Our opinion : It would be surprising not to quickly see an officialization of its extension.

The Tchouaméni track for the Red Devils?

According to the Daily Mirror, the young midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni (21), resident of Monaco, would now interest Manchester United. Other big European clubs had previously inquired about his case.

• Our opinion : A player who could stay at his current club for another season, but maybe not two.

Atlético insist on Vlahovic

While a rumor of Manchester City interest has been vaguely raised, it is Atlético de Madrid who insist on Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic. According to Sky Italy, there is an agreement in principle: 50 million euros + 10 million euros bonus + 20% on a resale. The player, he would receive a salary of 4.5 to 5 million euros. But he will have to decide. The Colchoneros are also reportedly keeping an eye on Matheus Cunha.

• Our opinion : A player who should continue to animate the end of this summer transfer window.

Florenzi joins AC Milan

This Saturday, via his account Twitter official, the club of AC Milan has formalized the arrival, in the form of a loan with option to buy, of the right side Alessandro Florenzi (30 years), from AS Rome.

• Our opinion : Certainly the club that could allow him to revive.

Pellegri vs Milan

According to The Gazzetta dello Sport, Pietro Pellegri is heading for a return to Serie A, on the side of AC Milan. All that is missing is the final agreement between the Lombard club and AS Monaco, which should fall in the coming hours. The formula: a loan with an option to buy at 8 million euros. This purchase option will be mandatory if certain objectives are met (matches played, goals scored).

• Our opinion : A player who has never managed to win in the Principality and who needs more playing time.

Delort wants to leave Montpellier

While Christophe Galtier on Friday confirmed OGC Nice’s interest in Montpellier striker Andy Delort, the player met with MHSC officials to let them know his desire to leave the club, according to The team. A big disappointment for the Hérault club, which should not however block the one who has just been appointed captain.

• Our opinion : It’s hard to imagine how the club could hold him back.

RADONJIC TO BENFICA LISBON

A few minutes after the formalization of his absence in the OM group to face Nice on Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.), The team indicated that striker Nemanja Radonjic has found a point of fall: it would be Benfica Lisbon, who have reached an agreement with the Marseille club for a loan from the Serbian international with a call option whose value is estimated at around 8 million euros. Radonjic should join Lisbon in the evening with his agent while the two clubs would finish agreeing on the contours of the operation.

• Our opinion : Good news for OM, who had to downsize their squad, and Jorge Sampaoli who no longer relied on the winger.
