Transfers: N’Golo Kanté, Ousmane Dembélé, Eden Hazard: the 7 transfer window info that you missed this weekend

Ten Hag wants Kanté at United

Erik ten Hag is yet to take on his new coaching role at Manchester United, but he is already laying the groundwork for next season. According to Mirror, the Dutch technician would like to recruit N’Golo Kanté, who has only one year left on his contract with Chelsea. The Red Devils are also eyeing West Ham defensive midfielder Declan Rice.

• Our opinion : No doubt Kanté’s volume of play would do United a lot of good. Nevertheless, it is hard to imagine the Blues parting with it this summer.

De Jong courted by City

It’s not at all impossible that Frenkie de Jong will continue his career in the north of England. Already tracked by Manchester United, who entrusted his bench to Erik ten Hag for next season, the Dutch midfielder would also arouse the interest of Manchester City, according to the Sun, Pep Guardiola indeed seeking to fill the imminent departure of Fernandinho. According to the tabloid, Barça could claim Bernardo Silva or Raheem Sterling in exchange.

• Our opinion : De Jong in the middle of the City of Guardiola, it would frankly not be unpleasant to see.

Bayern enter the race for Dembele…

• Our opinion : In terms of style of play and daily lifestyle, Dembélé has absolutely nothing to do with Lewandowski. We remain skeptical, to say the least.

… and also thinking of Mané to replace Lewandowski

Another track activated by Bayern to find a successor to Lewy: the one leading to Sadio Mané. If we are to believe information from Bild, the now ten-time reigning German champion would have recently contacted the representatives of the Senegalese to express their strong interest. The former Messin is still engaged in a crazy end to the season with Liverpool, between the fight for the Premier League title and the Champions League final against Real Madrid at the end of May in Saint-Denis.

• Our opinion : It is already much more credible than Dembélé. However, it will be necessary to be very convincing to hope to snatch Mané from the hands of the Reds.

Ancelotti assures him: Hazard “stays” at Real

“His plan is quite clear, he remains with a lot of motivation.” It is in these terms that Carlo Ancelotti, in a way, sealed the short-term future of Eden Hazard, in remarks relayed by Sports world. Long injured, the Belgian has only started seven times in La Liga this season and has scored only one goal, in the King’s Cup. So much so that one would have thought Real Madrid inclined to get rid of it this summer.

• Our opinion : Hazard has been unrecognizable since arriving at Real in 2019. To relaunch a stalled career, he would do well to leave the Spanish capital.

English suitors for David

Less prominent in 2022 than during the first leg, Jonathan David has nonetheless made an impression this season with Lille. The Canadian striker enjoys a good rating on the transfer market and his profile is particularly popular in the Premier League. According to the Sun, Arsenal, West Ham and Aston Villa are in line to welcome the northern striker, who should have an exit voucher this summer.

• Our opinion : In the current context, we would rather recommend David to opt for Arsenal, where a place will be left vacant if Alexandre Lacazette does not extend.

Chelsea position themselves on Casemiro

Now that the takeover by a group of investors led by Todd Boehly seems to be on the right track, Chelsea can prepare more calmly for the next transfer window. According to the Mirror, the Blues reportedly have their eye on Casemiro, who wouldn’t rule out leaving Real Madrid this summer. The Brazilian midfielder is however under contract with the Merengues until 2025.

• Our opinion : Casemiro has what it takes to blend into the London squad and adapt to Premier League play.
