L’Équipe report today that Lens midfielder Cheick Doucouré has agreed terms with Crystal Palace over his future salary should a move to the Premier League materialise this summer.

The two clubs are far from reaching an agreement over the 22-year-old Mali international though, with Doucouré one of the key men of Franck Haise’s team and under contract until the end of the 2023/24 season, as is the case with Séko Fofana.

Doucouré is unlikely to leave his formative club for lower that the Sang et Or’s asking price of €25m. The 7th-place finishers are not in any immediate financial need either, having funded their upcoming transfer window in advance with a loan taken out last summer.

Alongside his midfield partner Fofana, Doucouré has been one of the standout players in the Lens team since their return from Ligue 2 two seasons ago. This year, he has made 34 Ligue 1 appearances, in what was his fourth full season with the senior squad.

According to L’Est Éclair, Troyes’ French defender Adil Rami (36) is set to extend his contract, which is due to expire at the end of this month. 

Rami made 18 appearances for the side last season, including 15 starts, as Troyes achieved a mid-table finish in Ligue 1, having achieved promotion the previous season. Rami joined the club last summer on a free after his contract at Portuguese side Boavista expired.

The France World Cup winner is set for talks with the club next week about a prolongation of his contract. According to L’Est Éclair, “only the financial details of the new deal need to be sorted out.” 

The nomadic centre-back has plied his trade across Europe, playing for Lille, Valencia, AC Milan, Sevilla, Fenerbahce, Marseille and Boavista. Rami has previously expressed a desire to continue at Troyes next season, and the latest news regarding the contract extension alludes to both the player and the club “being on the same wavelength.”

According to Foot Mercato Mauricio Pochettino has already declined an approach from Bilbao sporting director Ramon Planes. The former Tottenham manger is reported to be more open to a “serious and long-term” move to England. 

With his departure from PSG expected to be made official in the next few days, or even hours, the future for Pochettino hangs in the balance after a bitter experience at the Parc des Princes. The former PSG player’s future has not been in doubt for a while, even before the arrival of Luis Campos as sporting adviser in the wake of Kylian Mbappé’s contract extension. Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi made the decision as part of the overhaul in the club’s management this summer. He is set to be paid between €15 and €20 million for his contract to be terminated a year early.

In Spain in particular, there is talk of him taking over at Athletic Bilbao, as the Basque club’s presidential candidate Ricardo Barkala is said to have made him his election promise to occupy the bench next season in the event of victory. Pochettino has already worked in Spain once before at Espanyol, but has already reportedly declined an approach from the Basque club. 

 

Gianluca Di Marzio is reporting a turn in events in the Isaak Touré (19) transfer saga. The Le Havre centre-back now looks set to stay in France with a move to Ligue 1 side Marseille. 

Earlier in the week, it was reported by L’Équipe that Touré was all set to join Manchester City on a “long-term contract” before potentially being loaned out for ESTAC Troyes for the upcoming season. 

Marseille, however, have maintained a strong interest in the France U19 defender, and have reportedly been locked in conversations with the player’s representatives since early May. 

According to DI Marzio, Marseille have been “pursuing contacts with his entourage for days,” and the negotiations are now in an “advanced state.” Di Marzio does add that the deal is not yet done, although it is moving closer and the fee is thought to be around  €7m. 

Touré enjoyed a break-through season with Le Havre last season, where he made 17 Ligue 2 appearances.

The All Blacks were made to work hard for a 38-31 win over Japan in Tokyo on Saturday as they kicked off their northern hemisphere tour.Brodie Retallick was shown a 66th-minute red card for dangerous play to set up a nervy finale for New Zealand at a sold-out National Stadium.Kazuki Himeno scored a late try but it was not enough for a spirited Japan side looking for their first-ever win over the All Blacks."It's our first game after a bit of a break and we were a bit rusty, but they played really well and it turned into a really tight game," said All Blacks head coach Ian Foster."We got put under a lot of pressure but I really liked the way we played. Japan came back very well before half-time and really turned the game into a tight contest."Retallick, Braydon Ennor, Sevu Reece, Caleb Clarke and Hoskins Sotutu all scored tries for New Zealand, who will now head to Europe to take on Wales, Scotland and England."It was a very tough match today, we got what we expected, we knew the Japanese are a very tough, skilful side, and they put us under a lot of pressure," said All Blacks captain Sam Cane."I think our composure kept us in the fight, and we've got guys who can score tries quickly."New Zealand scored the opening try in the 11th minute when Dane Coles broke through a tackle and passed it on for Retallick to gallop home.Ennor crossed the line in the 26th minute to finish off a slick move for the All Blacks' second try of the afternoon.Reece added another just over five minutes later when Richie Mo'unga flew in to pick off a long line-out throw and feed the winger for the try.But just when it looked like Japan were out of the contest, the home side hit back with two tries shortly before half-time.First, Yamasawa crossed the line after fumbles in the All Blacks defence from Stephen Perofeta and Ennor.Then Yutaka Nagare scored another to send Japan into the break trailing by only four points.New Zealand stretched their lead just minutes after the restart when Clarke broke through the Japanese defence to touch down for a try.But Japan hit back again when Warner Dearns charged down Finlay Christie's kick and held to the ball to race over the line.Sotutu scored a try in the 61st minute before Retallick saw red five minutes later after charging recklessly into a ruck.Himeno scored a late try for Japan to set up a nervy finale but New Zealand held on for the win."I'm very proud of our players," said Japan's New Zealand-born head coach Jamie Joseph, whose team will now head to Europe to play England and France."They showed the right intent, right from the start until the end. It was exactly what we're trying to build as a rugby team."Click Here: cheap nike men shoes

Auxerre in talks for Ousseynou Thioune

July 3, 2023 | News | No Comments

L’Équipe report that Ligue 1 side Auxerre have made an approach for central midfielder Ousseynou Thioune, who is out of contract with Ligue 2 outfit Sochaux at the end of this month.

The Senegalese midfielder is also attracting interest from Swiss 1st division club FC Zurich, who won the league title this year.

Following the announcement of the arrival of ex-Guingamp midfielder Youssouf M’Changama on a free transfer, AJA are continuing to seek to bolster their quality in this part of the pitch with talks ongoing for 28-year-old Thioune.

Thioune was a critical member of Sochaux’s 1st team squad in the 2021/22 campaign, making 36 starts, but has been seeking to move to a better club following the imminent expiry of his current deal.

Thioune began his career in the prestigious Senegalese academy, Diambars, before experiences at FC Itthiad Tanger in Morocco and then in Spain with 2nd division side Tarragona.

Thioune has been at Sochaux since 2019.

Ryad Talbi to leave Lyon academy for Nice

June 30, 2023 | News | No Comments

According to L’Équipe, Ryad Talbi (18) is set to join Lucien Favre’s OGC Nice from Lyon’s academy following the end of his youth contract with the club. The teenager, born in January 2004, plays as an attacking midfielder and has represented the Morocco U20 side just once, making his debut in April of this year.

Born in Grenoble, the 18-year-old has chosen to move further afield, signing a contract with Les Aiglons on the Mediterranean, who reportedly offered the same conditions as his parent club Lyon, who will lament the loss of a potential future star.

Having scored in the penalty shootout, after a last-minute substitution, to win this season’s Coupe Gambardella (the French Youth Cup), Talbi could join a long list of successful Lyon academy graduates, which include Karim Benzema, Hatem Ben Arfa, Nabil Fekir, Alexandre Lacazette, Samuel Umtiti and Corentin Tolisso, who is coincidentally set to complete a move back to the club this summer.

Fulham looking to sign Lyon’s Léo Dubois

June 25, 2023 | News | No Comments

L’Équipe report this afternoon that newly-promoted Premier League side Fulham are interested in signing Lyon right-back Léo Dubois, and have made a loan offer for the French international.

However, Les Gones are looking to move Dubois on a permanent transfer. The former Nantes man is also open to leaving after four years at the club, and is particularly interested in discovering a new league.

Fulham have also shown interest in Djibril Sidibé, a free agent since his departure from Monaco at the end of the season, but it’s the Lyon man who appears to be their main target. Les Gones are asking for a transfer fee in the region of €8m.

Lyon’s head of recruitment Bruno Cheyrou had yesterday indicated that the door was open to the 27-year-old leaving, indicating that the emergence of prospect Malo Gusto in his position has meant that it could be difficult for Dubois to imagine himself as a back-up option at this stage in his career. 

The Frenchman is under contract until 2024 and was also linked to Fiorentina, although the Viola will first look to sign Shakhtar Donetsk man Dodô.

According to Sky Germany, Mönchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer (33) has reached an agreement with OGC Nice on personal terms – the German side are now expecting an imminent offer from Nice to the bring the keeper to the Allianz arena. 

It was reported last week that new Nice manager Lucien Favre wants to bring his fellow Swiss countryman into the fold – whilst there is a verbal agreement between the clubs, Mönchengladbach are still waiting on an offer for the Swiss international goalkeeper whilst discussions are still ‘ongoing’. With Walter Benitez leaving Nice for PSV Eindhoven, the Azur coast side are looking for a replacement goalkeeper despite signing Marcin Bulka  (22) from PSG on a permanent €2m deal. 

Sommer has only one-year left on his current deal at the Bundesliga side. The Swiss international has 74 caps for the national side, whilst last season he made 33 Bundesliga appearances as his side finished 10th.
