Haaland, Aubameyang, Dembélé, Icardi, Ikoné: The 6 transfer window information that you missed on Thursday

Haaland, the BvB wants to do everything to extend it

Borussia Dortmund want to fight to retain Erling Haaland. If PSG, Barça and Real Madrid would be on the lookout, The Gazzetta dello Sport ensures in its edition of the day that the BvB is ready to double the salary of its attacker (from 8 to 16 million euros) for one year, and increase the amount of his release clause (set at 75 million). Haaland would become Dortmund’s highest paid player.

• Our opinion : Borussia will have to be convincing to keep Haaland. Not easy in view of the clubs interested.

Dembélé, imminent extension

The soap opera is unofficially ended according to Sport. According to the Catalan daily, Ousmane Dembélé is in the process of signing a new five-year contract, until June 2027, with FC Barcelona. The French international has reportedly agreed to lower his salary. The formalization could even take place next week.

• Our opinion : In the end, Dembélé won his case. His agent was, according to the Spanish press, rather favorable to a departure.

Ikoné arrived in Florence

It’s done for Jonathan Ikoné at Fiorentina. According to information from The Gazzetta dello Sport, an agreement was reached with the LOSC for 14 million euros + 1 bonus. A five-year contract could be signed. The player should arrive this Thursday in Florence to finalize the transaction.

• Our opinion : A nice blow for the Viola, a significant loss for the LOSC.

Juve between Martial and Aubameyang

In search of a goalscorer, Juventus Turin is observing the attacking market, in particular in the hope of a good loan opportunity. Also according to the transalpine press, two names keep coming back: Anthony Martial (Manchester United) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal). But the salary of the two players is very high. Regarding Mauro Icardi, PSG would not like to part with it in January.

• Our opinion : Juve do not plan to spend in January and especially want a player on loan. Not easy given the names mentioned.

Long-term contract for Dimarco

Finally used regularly by Inter Milan after several passages without much playing time, Federico Dimarco has visibly scored points. The very versatile defender or midfielder has indeed extended his contract until 2026, Thursday. This season, he played 24 matches in all competitions, including all of the Champions League, for 2 goals and 2 assists.

Gourvennec responds to David’s agent

While Jonathan David’s agent recently spoke of a final season for his LOSC player, Jocelyn Gourvennec gave his opinion on the subject. “I don’t know his agent, he replied. He starts from a long way, mentioning this in mid-December. He’s doing his job, the LOSC coach commented. It is a file that the president will manage and manage well. I think we should not disturb Jonathan. He doesn’t need that, he’s good in his sneakers. His agent must also be careful not to put things in his mind, sometimes it upsets the players. We have already seen some and we will see others. He must accompany his player as he does.”

• Our opinion : The Canadian striker is linked until 2025 with Lille. It is therefore the LOSC which has the cards in hand.

Dupraz wants reinforcements

Aware that the maintenance operation is not going to be really simple, Pascal Dupraz, the new coach of ASSE, called for reinforcements after the defeat against FC Nantes (0-1) on Wednesday evening. “Before I came, I knew the task was complicated. The transfer window will be important. We must hurry to recruit to strengthen the team, bring more dynamism and consistency in all lines“, said the technician of the Greens.

• Our opinion : To save itself, ASSE certainly needs reinforcements. But up to the task.
