Today’s news in France

We begin this newspaper of the transfer window on the side of Marseille where the search for offensive reinforcements continues. Author of an excellent season with Stade de Reims last year, Boulaye Dia (23 years old) would be on the shelves of Marseille management. Provence reveals that the Rémois would agree to let go of their attacker for a check of 10 M €.

In Rennes, the transfer window “Champions League” continues. Very active since his arrival, Florian Maurice would have a new target in Serie A. According to our information, the former sports director of OL would have made Jeremiah Boga (23, Sassuolo) one of the priorities for the coming season. The only catch, Sassuolo would claim at least € 30 million to let go of his nugget.

The focus of the day in France

We move on to our first focus of the day on the RC Lens. The northerners continue their transfer window of madness with the arrival of Seko Fofana (25 years old) from Udinese. A hell of a success for the Sang et Or who paid 10 M € for the Ivorian midfielder. A 4-year contract for the former Bastiais who arrives in a workforce already well supplied with recruits since since the beginning of the summer, Issiaga Sylla, Ignatius Ganago, Gael Kakuta, Facundo Medina, Loïc Badé and Wuilker Flour joined the club. All, launched together towards the maintenance operation.

The focus of the day abroad

Abroad, our second focus of the day concerns FC Barcelona. As we have been explaining to you for several days, the humiliation suffered against Bayern Munich in the Champions League had disastrous consequences within the club.

Yesterday is Quique Setien who was the first to pay the price for this affront by being sacked. It will be replaced by Ronald Koeman, more than ever the big favorite to his succession. Then today is Eric Abidal who was shown the exit door. Technical secretary and responsible for recruitment, the former Lyonnais was judged by some as one of the main responsible for the team’s fiasco. It now remains to officially name Koeman and let him make his team.

The Dutchman would also like to get rid of four players. At the end of the cycle, Luis Suarez (33) would have touches with Juventus and Ajax, his former club. Arturo vidal (33 years old), for his part, was approached by PSG. Finally, Ivan Rakitic (32 years old) and Samuel umtiti (26) would not be part of Koeman’s plans either. The latter would even ask himself questions about Sergio Busquets (32 years old) and Jordi Alba (31 years). Otherwise, Junior Firpo (23 years), Rafinha (27 years old), Jean-Clair Todibo (20 years old) and even Gerard Piqué (33) may also have to find a way out.

Finally, the future coach of the Blaugranas obviously wants to keep Lionel Messi (33 Years). But La Pulga, according to some reports, have decided to leave their club forever. Inter, Manchester City or even MLS would be on the lookout. To be continued …

At the same time, Philippe Coutinho (28), would be part of Koeman’s plans and could remain to everyone’s surprise. To strengthen this team, two names have emerged in recent hours. The first is obviously the return of Neymar (28 years old), who comes back like a sea serpent with every difficulty. The second is that of Malang Sarr (21 years old), free since the end of his contract with Nice. The French defender has reportedly been approached several times by the Barcelona management.

The main officials of the day
