Transfers – Cherki, Guimaraes, Aubameyang, Milik, Ndombele: the 16 transfer window info that you missed on Friday

Double-turn closed gate for Guimarães in Newcastle

Real Madrid’s long-time target, Bruno Guimarães is again announced on the side of the Spanish capital with the probable departure of Casemiro. AS has mentioned in recent hours a potential flashback of the Merengue in the file. But this Friday, Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle, closed the door twice on a departure from the former Lyonnais. “We are trying to build a team here which we believe can take the club to the top over the next few years. We don’t want to take away our best players and Bruno is one of them…”

• Our opinion : The Toons will be hard in business if negotiations were to be opened. However, Carlo Ancelotti said he did not want to recruit an additional midfielder. The hypothesis of a transfer from Guimarães to Madrid is only postponed.

Cherki will (finally) extend with OL

Finally, it is the case to say it! After weeks or even months of negotiations, The team announces that Rayan Cherki (19) has agreed with OL for a new two-year contract. The second automatic year is however linked to a certain number of appearances this season, specifies the daily.

• Our opinion : One hell of a thorn less for Jean-Michel Aulas, who has achieved his goals, with an agreement that seems to satisfy both parties.

Milik revived by Juve in case of failure for Depay?

Juventus has a priority for this end of the transfer window: to strengthen in front. While she has made Memphis Depay her top priority for many weeks, the Old Lady would keep an eye on Arkadiusz Milik in the event of a failure in negotiations for the former Lyonnais. This is Sky Sports which is relaunching the track this Friday. In recent hours, the president of OM Pablo Longoria has opened the door to a departure from the Pole in the event of an offer close to 20 million euros.

• Our opinion : Juve is paying attention to its accounts on this summer transfer window and will seek the most financially advantageous option at all costs. The Milik track is probably too expensive for Piedmontese, but who knows…

Carrasco in Manchester United’s small papers

Rebuffed by Ajax for Antony, waiting for Cody Gakpo, the Red Devils would have checked the name of Yannick Ferreira Carrasco and could make an offer close to 30 million euros, according to information from the Daily Telegraph. Under contract until 2024 with the Colchoneros, the Belgian is part of Diego Simeone and an extension has been in the works for several weeks. But the financial situation of Atlético could make Madrid leaders think if a good offer arrives on the table.

• Our opinion : And one more track, one! The versatility of Carrasco would obviously render valuable services to Ten Hag and others. However, it seems hard to imagine Atlético releasing one of their handymen.

Mission Nkunku 2023 in the boxes for Chelsea

If Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seems to be the summer priority of the Blues, the arrival of the Gabonese would be “only” in a short-term vision as specified by the Daily Telegraph. In its edition of the day, the daily announces that Chelsea would be ready to draw and go all out next summer to attract Christopher Nkunku to Stamford Bridge. The French international extended to Leipzig last June and will not leave Germany for a year.

• Our opinion : This summer of 2022 was made to lay the foundations for the Boehly era. The next summer transfer window could be quite lively for Chelsea, who should have competition for Nkunku.

Napoli still want Navas

According The morning, Napoli are always on the lookout for Keylor Navas, who is the priority for the goalkeeper position. The player’s salary (9 million euros), however, poses a problem and requires a gesture from the three parties in question: the person concerned must lower it, Naples increase their offer and PSG lend a hand for his payment.

• Our opinion : We will have to find an agreement, but the will of the three parties is to close the deal.

‘Very positive’ talks between Aubameyang and Chelsea

The return to London is progressing well for the former Stéphanois. Fabrizio Romano confirms that recent negotiations between the Gabonese striker’s clan and the Blues have turned out “very positive“. An agreement could even quickly be found between the two parties, confirms Sport. For their part, Barça would ask for almost 30 million euros, a sum that Chelsea would consider too high. The Spanish daily evokes a first offer of 19 million euros plus 5 bonuses for the 33-year-old center forward.

• Our opinion: It’s still quite a turnaround. While we thought FC Barcelona was very attached to the Gabonese, this transfer could materialize much faster than we think. And FC Barcelona will not say no to a little change…

OM are negotiating well with Atalanta…

In today’s edition, the Gazzetta dello Sport confirms the revelations of Gianluca Di Marzio and Fabrizio Romano on a possible exchange between OM and Atalanta Bergamo for Ruslan Malinovskyi and Cengiz Ünder. Negotiations have just started between the two clubs, which would each find their account in this possible double transfer. As a reminder, Roma should receive 20% on the resale of the Turk.

• Our opinion: OM would be the big winner of this deal, without a doubt.

… and don’t forget Bailly

Always looking for reinforcement behind, Marseille is still tracking Eric Bailly, the Manchester United defender. The team explains that the Ivorian international would be more seduced by the Marseille challenge than in the past. The player’s salary (around 5 million euros per year), however, poses a problem for Marseille decision-makers.

• Our opinion : Bailly is a gamble, but OM now have expertise in relaunching players. It remains to convince Manchester United if the interest is confirmed and, above all, to take the best of a relatively fierce competition.

Ndombele on the revival in Naples

As announced in recent days, Tanguy Ndombele will try to revive on the side of Naples. The midfielder passed by Amiens and OL is loaned for a season by Tottenham to the Partenopei. A call option is included in the deal, but the amount has not been filtered. The latest indiscretions estimate that it is around 30 million euros. Antonio Conte pushed for his player to leave London, in particular to have a hope of being part of the 26 Blues for the World Cup in Qatar.

• Our opinion : A deal that suits all parties. Ndombele can be a very good pickaxe for Napoli if he recovers.

Soon the end of the suspense: Cavani would have chosen Villarreal

The soap opera is almost over: the Matador will find Unai Emery. After weeks of negotiations and discussions with a host of clubs (Nice, Boca Juniors, Valencia or Dortmund at the start of the transfer window), Edinson Cavani is about to commit to Villarreal, announces TyCSports. The 35-year-old Uruguayan striker is expected in Spain on Saturday for his medical visit.

• Our opinion : Cavani can have fun in La Liga for what looks like one of his last challenges on the Old Continent.

Foyth still tracked by Barça

The search continues to be in full swing in Catalonia for the right-back position. According to the latest information from Fabrizio Romano, Juan Foyth (Villarreal) is still favored by FC Barcelona. On the other hand, the Blaugranas would not be in discussions for Diogo Dalot (Manchester United), while the Thomas Meunier file would no longer advance in particular due to recent statements by Edin Terzic and Sébastian Kehl in Dortmund. We will nevertheless have to be patient before signing Juan Foyth, warns the Italian journalist.

• Our opinion : Barça intends to do everything to strengthen itself in this sector, even if the priority remains to sell in other positions.

Arteta confident for Saka extension

At almost 21, Bukayo Saka is already a Gunners captain. Under contract until 2024, one of the children of the club could soon renew his lease. Mikel Arteta is in any case confident on the subject. “I am convinced that the club, Bukayo and his agent are on the same line about our ambitions. All you have to do is put it all in shape on a piece of paper“The London coach also hopes that this extension will be quickly acted upon.”I would like that to happen because I don’t want a player to be distracted in the middle of the season. But these things take time.”

• Our opinion : The two parties will eventually reach an agreement. Saka is the face of this once again attractive Arsenal, but above all very ambitious for the coming seasons.

Rony Lopes, the Trojan surprise of this end of transfer window?

Another return to France for Rony Lopes? Already passed by Lille, Monaco and Nice, the midfielder could soon discover a fourth French club. Loaned to Olympiakos last season, Rony Lopes (26) would be in full discussions with Troyes, reveals The team this Friday. The Portuguese international (2 selections) still has two years of contract with Sevilla, but will not be retained.

• Our opinion : The trajectory of the player trained in Manchester City is still damn disconcerting. Rony Lopes is a bet to take for ESTAC, which needs talent for its maintenance mission.

Inter in the pinch for Chalobah

In search of reinforcement behind, regardless of the situation of Milan Škriniar, the Nerazzurri would be interested in Trevoh Chalobah (23), the versatile defender of Chelsea, announced Fabrizio Romano this Friday. The former Lorient could leave the Blues in the event of the arrival of Wesley Fofana, but will only be transferred on loan after having extended. Thomas Tuchel greatly appreciates the native of Freetown, Sierra Leone. The Milanese club is also following the trail leading to Manuel Akanji (Dortmund).

• Our opinion : A surprising decision on the part of Chelsea all the same, as the Swiss army knife Chalobah rendered precious services to the Blues last season.

Battle of Turkish leaders in sight for Bozok

Not necessarily in the plans of Régis Le Bris in Lorient, Umut Bozok is waiting. According to information from The team, Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and especially Trabzonspor have come forward for the Turkish striker. The Turkish champion would have even made an offer of 3 million euros to Hake for the one who finished top scorer in Süperlig last season with 20 goals. An agreement could quickly be reached.

• Our opinion : Surprising that the former Nimois does not arouse more desire. In Turkey, Bozok has, in any case, found the appropriate championship to express all his qualities. It remains to be determined which local heavyweight he will join.
