Leão, Ronaldo, Nkunku, 70M: The 6 transfer window info for Tuesday

PSG have competition for Leão…

Sole scorer against Fiorentina on Sunday evening, Rafael Leao guides AC Milan towards a Scudetto that has eluded them since 2011. The Portuguese striker, who has been playing in Italy since leaving LOSC in 2019, is the subject of a diligent court many European clubs for several months.

According to The Gazzetta dello Sport, Paris Saint-Germain would be ready to make an offer of 70 million euros to attract him to their ranks. The file promises to be complicated for the champion of France: Investcorp, a Bahraini fund on pole to acquire AC Milan, would like to keep Rafael Leão and even extend his contract, the expiry date of which is set in 2024.

Our opinion : PSG’s interest is not new, since there was already talk of an offer of 70 million euros two months ago. On the other hand, the possible takeover of the Lombard club by Investcorp could undermine Parisian plans.

What if Ronaldo returns to Madrid?

Will we witness yet another comeback? Returning with great fanfare to Manchester United last summer, twelve years after leaving for Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo could repeat the same trip. That’s what you think you know The Mirror. The British media report that the Portuguese star, who has scored 24 goals in 38 appearances this season, may not be part of the plans of next Red Devils manager Erik Ten Hag, who is more inclined to empower the youth.

Real Madrid leaders are said to be closely monitoring the situation of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, linked to United until 2023. Asked by Sky Sports before the meeting against Brentford, Ralf Rangnick, current technician of the Red Devils, remained evasive on the subject: “He’s shown he can still play a vital role in this team, but it’s obvious Manchester need more forwards. There should be two or three new ones next year, that’s pretty obvious.”

Our opinion : The fact that the information comes from Mirror calls for caution, despite Manchester United’s chaotic season. Especially since the Madrid club has targeted much younger profiles in the person of Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland…

Manchester United fully on Martinez

Among the two or three new attackers mentioned by Ralf Rangnick may be Lautaro Martinez, the striker for Inter Milan. Recruited by the Lombard club in 2018, the 24-year-old Argentinian has scored 70 times in 177 games, including 17 in Serie A this season. To facilitate his transfer to the north-west of England, the leaders of Manchester United would imagine an offer of 50 million euros by adding to the balance, according to the Daily ExpressAnthony Martial, currently on loan at Sevilla FC.

Our opinion : If Lautaro Martinez would do the Red Devils a lot of good, we doubt, on the other hand, that the English offer will suit the Lombards.

Nkunku is popular in England…

Still scoring Monday night against Borussia Monchengladbach, Christopher Nkunku continues his crazy season. The 24-year-old Frenchman, trained at PSG, has 31 goals in all competitions, including 18 in the Bundesliga. His performances have inevitably attracted the attention of European behemoths for several months, but the interest would be more pronounced on the side of the Premier League.

Liverpool and Manchester United would thus make eyes for him for a summer transfer, according to Sky Sports. “I think Lepzig wants to extend his contract to add a release clause of around 65 million euros, which can be activated at the end of next season”thinks, meanwhile, the German journalist Philipp Hinze.

Our opinion : RB Leipzig, who would like to become one of Bayern Munich’s main competitors in the league, will not want to part with their French jewel this summer. Finally, it all depends on the amount written on the check.

… like De Vrij

According to Football Insider, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle are said to be following in the footsteps of Inter Milan centre-back Stefan de Vrij. The 30-year-old Dutchman, international 55 times, is linked until 2023 with the Lombard club, in search of cash. Previously estimated at 40 million pounds, De Vrij would have devalued by 25 million. A quite affordable price for English stables. Of the three teams mentioned above, the Spurs, led by Antonio Conte, former coach of Inter, would hold the rope.

Our opinion : Indisputable holder in the most hermetic defense in Italy, Stefan de Vrij should attract more prestigious suitors if he were not to extend with Inter.

Müller extends contract with Bayern Munich

Linked until 2023 with Bayern Münich like Manuel Neuer and Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller is the first of the three owners to have reached a contractual agreement with his training club. The German world champion announced his extension until June 2024 on his Twitter account. « This club, this team and these supporters are my home, » he added, a week after adding an eleventh Meisterschale to his tally.

Our opinion : Logical decision between the two parties. It is now even more difficult to imagine Thomas Müller in other colors.
