Mercato: the 3 things to remember this Monday

From Stéphane Ruffier to Arkadiusz Milik via Moise Kean or Memphis Depay, find all the information and rumors of the football transfer window of this Monday, January 4, 2021.

PSG want to keep Moise Kean

According to

Sky Sports

, new Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino would strongly like to retain

Moise Kean

.

Currently on loan from Everton, the Italian striker (20) has scored 9 goals since joining PSG.

The cost of such an operation could amount to € 35m, which would allow the Toffees to realize a slight capital gain for a player bought close to € 30m from Juventus.

Villas-Boas confirms OM's interest in Milik

The quest for a center-forward in Marseille for this winter is no longer a secret.

"Yes, this is a position we are looking for," said OM coach André Villas-Boas on Monday at a press conference.

The Portuguese has even confirmed an interest in

Arkadiusz Milik

, the Napoli striker sidelined from the squad after a missed transfer to Juventus last summer.

This is not the only option and it is perhaps the hardest to manage, however, Villas-Boas stressed.

We will also discuss again with the owner (Frank McCourt, editor's note) regarding the January transfer window, to find out where we can go. "

Asked about the

Gaëtan Laborde

track

, who will face OM this Wednesday with Montpellier, Villas-Boas was less talkative: “He is a player who has a high cost.

But this transfer window is more linked to sales than to investments. "

ASSE breaks Ruffier's contract (official)

"After the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the player, AS Saint-Étienne decided to terminate

Stéphane Ruffier's

contract

, which ended on June 30, 2021," the Forez club announced in a press release on Monday.

The French international goalkeeper (34) had not played again with the Greens since February 16, 2020, against Brest (defeat 2-3).

"ASSE regrets to have come to this decision, made ineluctable by the attitude of the player who undermined the institution," said the club, which had laid him off last November for having left a prematurely individual training session.

Ruffier, who arrived in Saint-Étienne in 2011, played 383 matches with the Greens.
