Famous agent Mino Raiola, who counts Erling Haaland among his clients, will meet with Manchester City executives next January, the

.
They will discuss a possible transfer of the Borussia Dortmund striker, courted by the biggest clubs in the world for a year and a half.
Haaland (21) would be the priority of the Skyblues after failing in the Harry Kane case, held at Tottenham.
Manchester United would be the main competitor to City in this case, ahead of Real Madrid and PSG.
But City would have a unique trump card up their sleeve: the bosses of Puma, who hope to sponsor Haaland when his contract at Nike expires in January, sponsor Manchester City and have maintained strong ties with Alf-Inge Haaland, father of the young Norwegian and former footballer. pro.

A French duo Lenglet-Fofana in Newcastle?
With its new Saudi owners, Newcastle, admittedly temporarily relegated to the Premier League, has great ambitions in the transfer market.
According to
RMC Sport
, one of the first big recruits expected would be Wesley Fofana.
Newcastle have informed Leicester that an offer may fall for the 20-year-old French defender.
The former Stéphanois was an indisputable holder last season with the Foxes, 5th in the Premier League and winners of the FA Cup, but has not played since his fibula fracture in August.
He is expected to return to competition in December.
Fofana cost Leicester € 35m last year.

But he is not the only French defender that interests Newcastle.
After right-hander Fofana, the Magpies learned about left-hander Clément Lenglet, according to the Catalan daily
Sport
.
The Barcelona (26 years old), in distress last season, played only 4 matches including a start this season.
So much so that he is no longer called up for the France team.
Newcastle are hoping to take advantage of Barca's fragile economic situation to get a good deal.
It remains to be seen whether Lenglet, under contract until 2026, will agree to a departure after refusing to leave Barcelona for AS Roma last summer.
Real Madrid: the price of Chouaméni known
Marca
only has eyes for him. Aurélien Tchouaméni (21) is on the front page of the Madrid daily for the second day in a row this Wednesday. We already knew that Real Madrid pinched for the defensive midfielder of AS Monaco, who made a place for himself in the France team. Now we know its price: 60 million euros. It had cost 18 when he left Girondins de Bordeaux for ASM in January 2020.
Marca
does not say if Real would be ready to invest such a sum. But with “only” € 31m spent on Eduardo Camavinga since the end of summer 2019, money is unlikely to be a problem for the vice-champion of Spain.
