The transfer window live: Spalletti arrives in Naples

Fifth in Serie A this season, Naples has its new coach. After Gennaro Gattuso, who quickly rebounded at Fiorentina, it is Luciano Spalletti (62) who will sit on the bench of the Italian club. “I am pleased to announce that Luciano Spalletti will be Napoli’s new coach from July 1. Welcome Luciano, together we will do a great job,” Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis wrote on Twitter. Luciano Spalletti has been free since leaving Inter in May 2019.

Raphaël Varane does not intend to decide his future immediately. The French world champion, whose name comes back with insistence on the side of Manchester United as recalled by the Daily Mail, wants to focus on the Euro with the Blues before exploring the avenues available to him. The 28-year-old center-back has only one year of contract with Real Madrid.

Loaned this season to OGC Nice by Olympique Lyonnais, Jeff Reine-Adelaïde should not, unless a turnaround, extend his stay on the Côte d’Azur.

While the Nice leaders do not seem to intend to exercise the high purchase option of Lyonnais (25 M €) and rather want to obtain a new loan of a single year, the captain of the France Espoirs team wants him to project himself over time.

A situation that could do the business of… OL. Lyon, which has always shown via its management an important support to its young player, would welcome his return to the Rhône, which he had left last summer for lack of playing time granted by Rudi Garcia. Linked to the Gones until 2024, the attacking midfielder could continue his knee rehabilitation there, before gradually reintegrating the group in a sector of play which should experience movement during the summer transfer window.

Building on his success in the Europa League final on Wednesday against Manchester United, Villarreal is already looking into next season. The Spanish club intends to maintain a continuity of its workforce and, for this, would like to keep Juan Foyth.

Villarreal could exercise the option to buy the 23-year-old believed to know Ace, which is set at 15 million euros. But they hope to see it drop, knowing that the player has only one year of contract left with Spurs.

Having scored 17 La Liga goals this season with Real Sociedad, 21-year-old Alexander Isak was a real eye-catcher. And not to see his nugget fly away, the Spanish club plans to break the bank to offer him a new contract by the summer, explains Mundo Deportivo. The Swede could be offered a salary to match the team’s cracks like Silva, Merino or Oyarzabal. The player would not want to return to Borussia Dortmund, his former team, which has a buyback option of 30 million euros until 2022.

According to Sky Sports, Manchester United are continuing discussions with representatives of Jadon Sancho. The option of seeing the England international land among the finalists of the last Europa League would even hold Corsica and would be the “most realistic” option in the event of the transfer of the player from Dortmund. Especially since the Red Devils had already positioned themselves last summer but the sum requested by the German club – 125 million euros – had cooled their enthusiasm. This time, the transfer amount could be around 92 million euros.

Center-back Victor Chust, named captain of Castilla – Real Madrid’s reserve – by Raul, will be free at the end of June. And the 21-year-old, who has made three appearances this season for the first team, is said to be in contact with Betis according to Mundo Deportivo. Last season, he won the Youth League with the Madrid club.

Pep Guardiola could hardly be clearer about his future. The Spanish Manchester City technician took advantage of the question put to him by Movistar to clarify once and for all his situation, as he will play against Chelsea, in the Champions League final (kick-off at 9 p.m. on RMC Sport), for a fantastic hat-trick this season. Asked whether or not winning the European title might change his future at City, Guardiola said in a nutshell: “No, I’m staying.” In case there was any semblance of doubt, Guardiola repeated the message, pressing: “No doubt, I will stay for sure.”

Sergio Agüero (Manchester City) and Georginio Wijnaldum (Liverpool) will play next season at Camp Nou, Barça is convinced, says Sky Sports. The officialization of these two signatures could even take place quite quickly, from next week. Representatives of the two players have visited Barça headquarters in recent days for advanced discussions on the contracts offered to these two players, free at the end of June. For the Argentine, discussions should accelerate after the Champions League final, scheduled for Saturday (kick off at 9 p.m., live on RMC Sport 1).

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the negotiations have reached their final stage. The discussions would be at this point “very advanced” that it would miss more from now on for the deal to be made. Inter should receive an amount close to 60 million euros, without consideration, while, at first, it was a question of including Leandro Paredes in the transaction, according to Gazzetta.
