Transfers – Kanté, Marcelo, Koulibaly… The 5 mercato info that you missed this weekend

Kante pleases ten Hag

At the end of the contract in 2023, N’Golo Kanté arouses envy. The Frenchman (31), praised by Thomas Tüchel (“It’s our Salah, our De Bruyne“), could take advantage of the summer window to try a new challenge, on the side of Manchester United. Inducted on the bench of the Red Devils, Eric ten Hag aspires to recruits in the midfield, which he considers perfectible. With the departure de Pogba, the Dutchman, seduced by the versatility of the Habs, ticked the name of Kanté at the top of his list, according to The Guardian.The English media also claims that Chelsea would consider a transfer, just to avoid losing their international tricolor for free in 2023.
  • Our opinion : Champion of England and Europe, Kanté has won everything with the Blues. While an exciting project built around ten Hag will see the light of day at Manchester United, the Frenchman would be well advised to offer himself one last challenge: to contribute to the return to the top of the Mancunians.

Koulibaly “did not speak with any club”

Object of the desires of the biggest clubs, Kalidou Koulibaly is still far from being fixed on his future. The Senegalese, whose contract with Naples ends in the summer of 2023, is notably courted by FC Barcelona, ​​Juventus or PSG. But the latter’s agent, Fali Ramadani, told Corriere dello Sport, in comments relayed by Mundo Deportivo, that the player’s entourage “did not speak with any club. We are waiting to meet Napoli to see what is the best solution for both parties.“. The soap opera is just beginning.
  • Our opinion : Koulibaly is right to take his time. Time plays in favor of the Senegalese who has everything to gain from gauging the various interests to which he is subject.

Marcelo’s farewell to Real…

After fifteen years at the White House, Marcelo will set sail. The Brazilian with five European crowns made his decision after the final, judging that an exit after a double Champions League – Liga is the best possible. Captain of Real Madrid, even if he has not played often, Marcelo leaves free and will soon decide his future destination.

  • Our opinion : Barred by Ferland Mendy, Marcelo is suffering the weight of age (34) and injuries, but can still render some services in Europe, before probably coming full circle in Brazil.

…which extends Modric

Freshly crowned European champion, Luka Modric welcomed a second good news with the extension of his one-year contract with Real Madrid, as announced by Marca on his site. Evidence of the relaxed framework around the deal,”themdiscussions were brief to seal the extension of the Croatian“. Arriving at Real in 2012, Modric (36) notably won five Champions League and a Ballon d’Or in 2018.
  • Our opinion : The Croatian has proven it, he still has the legs for the very high level. Modric is loyal to Real and the White House pays him back. A virtuous association for both parties.

Barca have doubts about Pique

Time flies and Gerard Pique (35) suffers it perhaps more than others. The FC Barcelona defender focuses doubts on his physical condition which worries the Catalan club, according to information from Mundo Deportivo. The Blaugrana staff would judge that a high-level reinforcement in central defense would be mandatory for next season. Author of a satisfactory season on the ground, Piqué was more heckled off the lawns, in particular during the affair of the tapping of Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Federation. With two more years of contract (2024), Pique should end his career with Barça, for whom he allowed the approval of the contract of Memphis Depay, thanks to a drop in salary.
  • Our opinion : Even if he has not dived this season, Pique is no longer at the level of the best centrals on the planet. Barça is right to consider a reinforcement at his post, despite the long lease that still binds the leader of Kosmos with the Blaugranas.
