OM, Botman, Haaland, Barça, Isak, Leão: The 6 transfer window info that you missed

Used Caleta-Car “tired” of rumors

Present at a press conference this Friday, Duje Caleta-Car, often at the heart of transfer rumors, said he was somewhat tired. “Every transfer window is for me. I heard: ‘He will leave’, ‘the club does not want’… I’m already tired of this info. I’m still here, I’m really happy to be in this club. I had interesting opportunities that did not end. If other opportunities come up, we’ll see. We don’t know what the future holds. I am a player under contract with OM (…) Each time, the newspapers talk about me, whether I leave or not. But I’m still here“, said the OM player.

• Our opinion : Caleta-Car has often been close to leaving… in vain. OM have never found an agreement with a club.

Leão towards an extension in Milan…

Author of an impressive season with AC Milan, Rafael Leão, whose talent seems to have literally exploded, should quickly extend his contract with AC Milan. According to Corriere della Serathe Portuguese international could triple his salary, rising to 4 million euros + bonus, until 2026.

• Our opinion : Leão is impressing this season. Speed, ease in dribbling and efficiency… The Portuguese deserves an extension. Milan knows it.

…and Botman is seriously tempted

• Our opinion : Milan and LOSC are on very good terms (Leão, Maignan…). However, the Lombard club will hardly exceed 30 million euros.

Real target Haaland for 2023

The information comes from the Dortmund daily Ruhr news. According to the latter, Real Madrid would have told Erling Halaand that they could not recruit him this summer. The reason ? The Merengues still believe in Karim Benzema and still focus on Kylian Mbappé. If the Borussia Dortmund striker would have a preference for Real, he will therefore have to wait another year before signing there. But will he accept it?

• Our opinion : If this info is true, Real is taking a big risk. With a release clause estimated at 75 million euros, Haaland could tempt many other clubs.

Isak, the alternative of Barça?

If Erling Haaland is FC Barcelona’s priority for next summer, the Blaugrana are however preparing a plan B in case of failure. According to Sport, Alexander Isak (Real Sociedad) is closely followed by the Catalan management, who would not hesitate to accelerate in the event of complications for the Borussia Dortmund striker. The Swedish international’s release clause is set at 80 million euros, but negotiations are expected to lower this price.

• Our opinion : Isak is a huge talent, as seen during the last Euro. But first, Barça will do everything for Haaland.

Lafont tracked by the Blaugrana?

We stay on the side of Barcelona, ​​where Sports world announces that Barça could recruit a goalkeeper during the next transfer window, in particular due to the injuries of Marc-André ter Stegen. The names of Illan Meslier (Leeds) and Alban Lafont (Nantes) are mentioned in particular by the daily. The French goalkeeper, who notably worked for Fiorentina, is under contract with FC Nantes until June 2024.

• Our opinion : In view of the possible upcoming departure of Neto, Barça is starting to probe (logically) the goalkeeper market. The objective: to find a good opportunity.
