Towards a Chelsea-Barça duel to attract Jadon Sancho?
According to The Sun and Sky Sport , Borussia Dortmund's English winger Jadon Sancho (20) wants to be able to play in the Champions League next year. However, while a return to the country is repeatedly mentioned in recent weeks, this information would allow Chelsea to take a step ahead of its competitor on the file, Manchester United. Indeed, while the Blues are 4th and will have a priori their ticket for the next C1, the Mancunians (5th), them, are not yet sure to be there ... Unless Sancho does not agree everyone following Xavi at FC Barcelona is in any case the intention of the one who has positioned himself to become the new coach of the Catalan club for next year. And this is also the opinion of BBC Sport , which explains that Sancho would favor the Catalan track, which would leave the field open to Philippe Coutinho to go… to Chelsea.
Arsenal closer and closer to Jesse Lingard
According to The Athletic , Arsenal would get closer and closer to Manchester United's attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard, in trouble with his club, and on whom Solskjaer no longer relies. The club would have even admitted that an approach would be "difficult to exclude" if Mikel Arteta, the coach of the Gunners, decided not to follow up on the loan from the Spanish Dani Ceballos. Raul Sanllehi, football director of the London club, should also contact Mino Raiola, Lingard's agent, soon. The 27-year-old, who has been called up for the national team since June 2019, is in dire need of a revival and his departure from Manchester United this summer is no longer in doubt.
Newcastle back in charge for Soumaré, who would also please Real
While the English club Newcastle had gone out of their way to attract Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumaré this winter, the Magpies would not have abandoned the idea for this summer according to the Spanish newspaper Sport . But Zinedine Zidane would also be seduced by the profile of the young 21-year-old, and Sport speaks of it as an alternative to the track leading to Eduardo Camavinga (Rennes). These requests have already weighed on the Lille season, sidelined by his coach Christophe Galtier for the trip against Marseille on February 16, following his real / false start for England.
Exchanges of players in a mess in 2020?
This is in any case what the Spanish newspaper Marca suggests , which explains that the financial crisis linked to the coronavirus could push the clubs to include players in the transactions this summer in order to reduce the costs.
FC Barcelona could try to place Samuel Umtiti or Arturo Vidal in the balance, in order to attract Lautaro Martinez , the striker from Inter Milan. Atletico Madrid, in the event of the failure of Operation Cavani (announced insistently on the side of Boca Junior in recent days), could try to bring in Alexandre Lacazette , the French attacker from Arsenal, against his compatriot Thomas Lemar , in difficulty with the Matelassiers. Bayern could also opt for this solution, in order to attract (finally) Leroy Sané , the Manchester City striker, by yielding the Austrian left back David Alaba , who would ask questions about his future in Münich. For its part, Juventus could be ready to give up some of its players in order to buy Paul Pogba from Manchester United: Gonzalo Higuain , Paulo Dybala , or Douglas Costa are all players announced as possible currency.
Ivan Rakitic en route to Atletico?
Marca announces that Ivan Rakitic, the Croatian midfielder of FC Barcelona, would be close to joining Atletico Madrid. The Madrid club have been following the player for a long time, since according to the Spanish newspaper, Rakitic was already courted by Atleti in 2011 when he joined Sevilla, and in 2014 when he finally opted for Barcelona. The club of Simeone would be all the more attracted, that the contract of the Croatian terminates in 2021, which could push Barcelona to separate from Rakitic at a lower price, so as not to see him leaving for free the year of after. Everything would therefore be decided on the price asked by the Catalans, because Atletico would not be ready to splurge this summer.
Van de Beek has not "said yes to anyone yet"
22-year-old Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek is among the revelations of last season with Ajax Amsterdam. While most of the other great craftsmen of the exceptional Lancers C1 course in 2019 (semi-final) have either already taken off (de Jong and de Ligt), or will leave at the end of the season (Ziyech, who already signed at Chelsea), or are strongly announced towards the start (Onana for example), van de Beek should also soon leave his club. But he has not yet made his decision and has not signed up with any club, not even Real Madrid. "Playing in the sun is always fun, but I haven't talked to any Spanish club. I haven't said yes to anyone yet, ”he said in an interview with Helden magazine.
