L’Équipe report that 21-year-old Senegalese international winger Ismaila Sarr remains a likely mover on the English transfer deadline.

As of Tuesday a deal was imminent between Rennes and Watford for €30m + €5m, with the player set to earn €350k pre-tax per month with the Hornets.

However, Rennes President Létang has delayed a deal, having wanted €40m and knowing that Premier League clubs will only become more desperate as the clock ticks down.

Yesterday morning, Crystal Palace entered into discussions with the Brittany club to buy Sarr – the exact size of the Eagles’ offer has not filtered through but it is understood to be worth around €30m excluding bonuses, less than what is on offer from Watford.

The outlet claims that Palace have decided to sell Wilfried Zaha, which will enable them to improve their bid for Sarr. Rennes representatives are taking Crystal Palace very seriously in the final hours of the English window.

SRFC are taking Palace especially seriously because they also know that in recent hours, Watford have been working on a possible deal for PSV winger Steven Bergwijn. The 21-year-old’s value is understood to be around €35m, similar to Sarr. The Pozzo family do not intend to overpay for the Senegalese winger.

In Sarr’s camp, last night there was big confidence about a move to Watford becoming a reality.

Tick tock.

Speaking in the mixed zone following Lyon’s 1-1 draw with Zenit St Petersburg, midfielder Lucas Tousart, who was heavily criticised throughout the encounter, had the following to say.

“We were fairly coherent throughout the match but we conceded a goal against the run of play. We were quite good in terms of how we used the ball but we did not find the right openings to be able to have good situations in front of goal. We were not convincing enough in the penalty box to be able to score. We weren’t deadly enough in certain situations. We are very disappointed because we feel like there was more than enough room to take the points. In the Champions’ League, everything goes very quickly and every point is important. And tonight, everyone can have regrets about the outcome of the match and we should’ve won it. But it is not necessarily a bad result because the draw does not close any doors on us either.”

Tomorrow’s L’Équipe reports that negotiations between PSG and French international attacker Kylian Mbappé have begun.

Sporting Director Leonardo’s current main objective is the contract extension of Mbappé, whose current deal runs until 2022. Although neither the length of the new deal nor the salary attached to it has yet been defined, sources on both sides of negotiations claim that the nature of the talks are “straight-talking”.

The claims about a €30m a year new salary have been dismissed as “ridiculous” by PSG sources. Mbappé, whose shirts are now the bestseller for Les Parisiens, has become the most important player to Leonardo, which is why the Brazilian has prioritised the contract extension of the French attacker over that of Neymar.

Leonardo’s seduction operation is in full swing to convince Mbappé’s clan, that now is the time to extend the Frenchman’s adventure at PSG.

Mbappé and his entourage are not yet fully convinced about signing a new deal with PSG. The last two seasons of Champions’ League struggle have doused the fire of excitement that Mbappé has had about playing for the big club nearest to his childhood town Bondy.

Mbappé also knows that the longer he stays at PSG and the longer his contract with the club, the more difficult it will be to quit the club, unless a clause is included in the new deal that allows him to negotiate his departure from a certain date onwards.

That sort of clause is not something that PSG do, but will they make an exception?

Owing to Mbappé’s state of mind, several individuals at the club are convinced that he will never sign a new contract with PSG.
