Market: Intrigue Mbappè, Chelsea insists on Mertens

Neymar and Mbappè are getting closer to the farewell to Paris Saint Germain. The Brazilian is at the top of Barcelona's wish list, the French in Real Madrid's. Net of the coronavirus emergency, the two will be at the center of the market negotiations despite the PSG is doing everything to arm them. Neymar still has two years of contract with the PSG, he took time before the proposal to extend it until 2025 and his intention would always be to return to the Blaugrana. At Camp Nou, however, they need a concrete step from the player and above all that they accept a lower engagement than they perceive in Paris while to convince Leonardo they will try again the path of the counterparts, putting on the plate players like Umtiti, Dembelé, Griezmann, Coutinho, Semedo or Rakitic and without further disbursements. According to "As", the blancos would like to take advantage of the worn-out relationship between Mbappè and the company, which would have threatened to put him out of the squad if the renewal was not signed. The player for his part, which expires in 2022, has never made a secret of being sensitive to the flattering Madrid. In addition, the French need to make cash to strengthen themselves: Diego Dalot, 21-year-old Portuguese full-back from Manchester United, is among the goals but at least 40 million euros are needed. The French midfielder is also in the crosshairs of Rome, Lorenzo Pellegrini, who has a rescission clause exercisable between 1 and 30 July of approximately 30 million euros payable in two years.
    According to Sky Sport, Inter look to the future and jump in the lead in the negotiations for Marash Kumbulla, defender of the 2000 class of Verona among the great surprises of the Serie A. Napoli seemed to be in front of everyone and had already made an important offer already in January. But Kumbulla responded with a definitive no, even to De Laurentiis' latest proposal. So there is the green light for Inter, at least in Italy (Albanian also likes Germany a lot). To let Kumbulla leave (under contract until 2022), Verona asks for 30 million, without technical compensation, but 25 can be closed. At least for the time being, the negotiation to bring Olivier Giroud to the Nerazzurri is going away. Chelsea exercised the renewal option to extend its agreement with the Blues until 2021. Now, therefore, it will no longer be possible to take it on a free transfer, with the Nerazzurri club and Lazio still following the French. At the same time, however, Chelsea are courting Dries Mertens, already sought in January. There have been direct contacts between Frank Lampard and the player, who has not yet renewed his contract with Napoli. The negotiation with the company is in fact still in stand-by. Inter and Roma are on the trail of Moise Kean, the Italian striker owned by Everton of Carlo Ancelotti.
    Waiting to understand what Zlatan Ibrahimovic's future will be, AC Milan looks around in search of a new center forward. The Jovic hypothesis of Real Madrid takes shape, chased by Napoli but according to what reported by 'Mundo Deportivo', the Rossoneri are also on the trail of the former Eintracht Frankfurt. Real Madrid asks for 60 million euros, an alternative hypothesis could be the loan.
