AS Saint-Etienne : The transfer book: Meunier pleases Mourinho, Ronaldo loyal to Juventus – Transfers | ASSE News

PSG: Mourinho in pliers for Meunier

Thomas Meunier ready to spin the English way? If he repeatedly envies his desire to extend to Paris, the Belgian international, free at the end of the season, has still not seen anything coming. Worse, Leonardo is actively working on the arrival of a new right-back, according to various sources. Suddenly, the hypothesis of a departure takes a little more breadth each week. Lately Dortmund seemed to be holding the rope. But according to The team, Meunier has an enticing touch in England. In this case, Tottenham thinks (very hard) of him. More specifically, it is José Mourinho who would like to retain his services, while President Levy is not completely convinced. The Portuguese technician has already spoken to the former from Bruges, who is known to be very interested in the idea of ​​playing in the Premier League, on the phone. The sports daily adds that Inter and Naples are on the spot too, but especially specifies that Meunier, 28 years old, “still hopes for a gesture” from the Parisian management. Otherwise, he would be spoiled for choice …

Two good news for Juventus supporters. Tuttosport ensures that Cristiano Ronaldo intends to honor the contract that binds him to the Old Lady until 2022. Besides the fact that the post-coronavirus may not be conducive to XXL signatures, the quintuple Portuguese Golden Ball 35-year-old feels very good in Turin and has no desire to leave, this summer or next year, we are assured, thus putting an end to certain rumors. Always according to Tuttosport, Giorgio Chiellini will extend his commitment by one year. Free at the end of the season, the 35-year-old Italian international will be linked to Juventus Turin until 2021. He will then start a coaching career with the Piedmontese company. As obvious.

Houssem Aouar has no shortage of suitors. As several media have already mentioned in recent months, Manchester City is in awe of the young (21) midfielder from OL. RMC goes in this direction and affirms that Pep Guardiola is particularly sensitive to the qualities of the interested party, with the Skyblues which should return to the load in the months to come, “when the health situation has improved”. That’s not all: on the side of the leadership of Juventus, Aouar “unanimously”. In addition, we know that Presidents Aulas and Agnelli have excellent relations. It can help … Finally, our colleagues quote a third contender, Paris Saint-Germain. The profile of this pure product of the Lyonnais training “has several courtiers” among the Red and Blue, and the club of the capital “has entered the dance in recent weeks”. One thing is certain: to acquire Houssem Aouar, under contract until 2023, it will be necessary to put at least € 50 million on the table. The right price ?

The Blues are looking for reinforcement in front. It remains to be seen who will be the lucky one … According to ESPN, the Blues are very interested in Lyonnais Moussa Dembélé, whose Gones would expect 80 M €, or in the German international of Leipzig Timo Werner, announced close to Liverpool. Suddenly, they could turn to a cheaper option with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The US media estimates that Arsenal could be tempted to let its player, under contract until 2021, slip away around £ 40 or 50 million (€ 46 or 57 million). It remains to be seen whether the Gunners are willing to strengthen a direct competitor. Anything but certain… Aubameyang, 30, has scored 20 goals in 32 games this season with Arsenal.

After Wesley Fofana and Charles Abi, it’s Mahdi Camara’s turn. Like his two teammates, the 22-year-old Saint-Etienne midfielder is back on track with the Greens. He is now under contract until 2024. “It is a pride to extend with my training club,” savored the interested party. “He was able to impose himself by his state of mind and his work, he has progressed enormously, judge Claude Puel. He is a reliable and consistent player in the effort. He never lets go. Mahdi symbolizes the mentality of the AS Saint-Etienne player. ” Loaned to Laval last season, Camara has played 22 ASSE matches (2 goals).

Everton and Liverpool ambush for Coutinho?

What future for Philippe Coutinho? We know that the Brazilian international should not stay at Bayern, despite the purchase option available to the Munich club. However, there are conflicting reports about Barça’s desire to keep the Brazilian international. According to Marca for example, Quique Si Maintenance would be a fervent supporter of the player and would aim to revive him next season … In the meantime, England is panicking. Chelsea is widely described as the most serious contender. Tottenham is also involved. The Mirror understands that Everton and Carlo Ancelotti will try their luck. On the Liverpool side, we would also think about the idea of ​​repatriating him. Philippe Coutinho, 27, is linked to Barcelona until 2023. Operated on an ankle, he will be absent for several weeks with Bayern Munich.

In search of liquidity to finance its summer transfer window (Martinez, Ndombélé?), Barça could agree to let go the young (23 years old) Brazilian midfielder Arthur. One club is very interested in its services, Juventus. As reported Mundo Deportivo, some Turin players could be included in a possible transaction. Besides Miralem Pjanic, quoted by RAC1 in recent days, Rodrigo Bentancur, Federico Bernardeschi, Mattia de Sciglio, Merih Demiral and Daniele Rugani could please the Barcelonians. Matthijs de Ligt is said to be a “dream”, but Juve certainly does not intend to give it up a year after snatching it from Ajax. Even if his first season in Piedmont is hardly dazzling. Athur Melo, 24 in August, was linked to FC Barcelona until 2024.
