The TOP 6 files of the week that should not be missed

1. Manchester City block Bernardo Silva

After his double against Real Madrid (4-0) on Wednesday in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League, Manchester City winger Bernardo Silva did not close the door to a departure for Paris Saint-Germain this summer . And unsurprisingly, the serious British daily The Times confirms the concrete interest of the reigning French champion for the Portuguese international. However, the Citizens have absolutely no intention of facilitating the departure of the former Monegasque, who is under contract until June 2025. On the contrary, Skyblues coach Pep Guardiola considers the Lusitanian to be a very important player within of his system and absolutely wants to convince him to stay. It remains to know the intentions of Silva, who has already shown in the past the desire to take up a new challenge.

2. Moussa Dembélé seduced OM

At the end of the contract next June, Moussa Dembélé is preparing to leave Olympique Lyonnais. According to Sky Germany, the French striker is very popular with Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt, who are looking for a lower cost alternative in the event of the departure of Victor Osimhen and Randal Kolo Muani. The German media also evokes a persistent interest from … Olympique de Marseille. Fond of nice shots, Pablo Longoria sees a golden opportunity to relaunch a striker who has shown great things in Ligue 1. Above all, the president of the Marseille club is looking for a “free” option to anticipate a possible separation with Alexis Sanchez, who does not has still not extended, while Vitinha has not yet convinced. With a qualification in C1, OM will have the necessary arguments to stand up to the competition.

3. Pochettino arrives at Chelsea

As expected after the failure of Julian Nagelsmann, coach Mauricio Pochettino, free since leaving Paris Saint-Germain last summer, will become Chelsea’s new manager from the 2023-2024 season. According to information from the British media The Telegraph, the Argentinian technician will land in London this week to complete his arrival on the Blues bench.

Thus, the ex-Tottenham coach will commit to the current 11th in the Premier League until June 2026. Unsurprisingly, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly wants to allow Pochettino to work in the best conditions with also the arrivals of his close guard, namely Jesus Perez, Miguel D’Agostino, Toni Jimenez and his son Sebastiano, within the staff.

4. Gündogan said yes to Barça

Is Ilkay Gündogan getting closer to leaving with Manchester City? Yes, according to information from the Catalan daily Sport, which announces a verbal agreement between the midfielder and FC Barcelona! At the end of the contract with the Skyblues, the former Dortmund would have given his agreement to Barça for a contract until 2026. He will therefore not extend to City, which is nevertheless preparing a final very attractive extension offer. Also according to Sport, optimism reigns in Barcelona, ​​in particular due to the “enormous desire” shown by Gündogan and his family of “join Spain after seven years in Manchester» . Barca plan to formalize the transfer once the season is over. But before that, he will have to validate his “viability planeconomic by the Spanish League.

5. A doubt for Mourinho at PSG

For several weeks, the name of the current AS Roma coach José Mourinho has been insistently coming back to become the future coach of Paris Saint-Germain. But according to information from the regional daily Le Parisien on Wednesday, the Portuguese technician had no contact with the Parisian leaders and does not represent the priority of the Ile-de-France headquarters. Obviously, the very strong relationship between the Special One and the sports adviser of the PSG Luis Campos would embody an obstacle because the two men would not have the desire to spoil this bond by working together. With Campos in Paris, an arrival of Mourinho therefore seems very unlikely. However, Christophe Galtier remains indeed on an ejection seat as the end of the season approaches.
