TRANSFERS – Depay, Ounahi, Arsenal, Lyon, Bayern, Sarabia … The 7 transfer window information for this Tuesday, January 17

ATLETICO AND BARCELONA FIGHT OVER DEPAY

Brand reveals this Tuesday that Atlético de Madrid went on the attack for Memphis Depay. The player and the club have even reached an agreement for two and a half seasons: it remains to convince Barça to let go of their player, which will not be easy. Inter Milan no longer seems to be a credible base at the present time.

• Our opinion : Barça and Atlético get along well on the transfer market, the deal can materialize.

DIABY’S PISTE ARSENAL…

The Bayer Leverkusen striker could be the Gunners’ next target to replace Mudryk, reports the English press. First contacts have been established, but Leverkusen risks being demanding in the file, according to Sky Sports: the player is under contract until 2025, and his club does not want to see him leave mid-season.

• Our opinion : His will-o’-the-wisp profile would enchant the Emirates.

…Who wants to recruit this winter

Mikel Arteta said it after the victory against Tottenham: new players must arrive at Arsenal. “We want to improve the team during this transfer window: and when I say us, it includes me, the staff, the players, the management and the owner“, he assured. Arsenal would also have the ambition to attract Declan Rice this summer, say several British media.

OUNAHI : LEEDS AVANT NAPLES ?

The Moroccan midfielder of SCO Angers, which was announced close to Naples, could finally take the direction of the Premier League. According to The team, the Angevin president Saïd Chabane was in England this Monday, to discuss with a club having offered more than the 15 million of Napoli. It may well be Leeds, who according to several English media, have offered more than 20 million euros.

• Our opinion : We’d rather see him in Napoli, but if Leeds pull out the checkbook…

BAYERN PUSH FOR SOMMER

Still looking for a goalkeeper, and rejected by Monaco for Nübel, Bayern Munich would consider recruiting Yann Sommer. According to Sky Germany, the Bavarian club would have offered 8 million euros + 1 bonus to Borussia Mönchengladbach, who would however have rejected this offer. At the same time, Bayern have reportedly made a first offer to Empoli for their goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario.

• Our opinion : Gladbach could play for time to drive up the price.

SARABIA AT THE WOLVES, IT’S DONE

Pablo Sarabia will not finish the season at PSG. Tuesday evening, the Spaniard committed to Wolverhampton, the current sixteenth in the Premier League, for two and a half years. Sky Sports evokes a transfer of some 5 million euros.

• Our opinion : Selling a Spanish international for 5 million to a Premier League club… PSG is not an outstanding seller.

LYON ENTERS THE RACE FOR GOMES

Olympique Lyonnais would have scuppered a deal practically concluded between Wolverhampton and Flamengo for João Gomes, by offering “a little better” to the Brazilian club for his player, according to Venê Casagrande, Brazilian journalist. Just 21 years old, the promising Brazilian midfielder could follow in the footsteps of Bruno Guimaraes in Lyon; but nothing has been progressed yet.

• Our opinion : This is already a more exciting track than the latest prospecting by OL, even if the flop is never far away.
