The Ligue 1 transfer market continues to generate rumours and headline news as teams look to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season. Here we present the most interesting rumours and possible transfers that could define the future of several players.
Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo is close to finalising a move to Juventus, a deal that could also benefit FC Barcelona, which owns a percentage of the future sale. According to Fabrizio Romano, the “Old Lady” would be willing to pay around 40 million euros for the French defender. This move would not only strengthen the Italian team’s defence, but would also leave around 7 million euros in the Catalan club’s coffers.
Barcelona’s young centre-back Mikayil Faye has attracted interest from two of Ligue 1’s big clubs: AS Monaco and Nice. According to Footmercato.net, both clubs have shown interest in the 20-year-old Senegalese, who could go out on loan to gain experience in elite football. While Monaco have already made initial contacts, Nice appear to be one step ahead, having submitted a formal offer to Barca.
Olympique Marseille are still looking for reinforcements for their attack, and Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah’s name has emerged as one of their top targets. The English striker has been on the radar of the French club for some time, who are also considering Elye Wahi, although Lens are asking €35m for the latter. Marseille’s offensive could intensify in the coming days.
Paris Saint-Germain are still active in the transfer market and, according to L’Equipe, have reached an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt for the transfer of Willian Pacho. The 22-year-old Ecuadorian defender will join PSG for €45 million, including bonuses. The medical is scheduled for this weekend, and the player is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Ligue 1 champions.
Olympique Marseille have officially announced the arrival of Valentin Carboni, a young midfielder from Inter Milan. Carboni, 19, arrives on loan for one million euros, with an option to buy set at 35 million euros plus 4 million in variables. Marseille continues to add young talent to its squad for next season.
Manchester United have set their sights on AS Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana. Although Sky reports that there has not yet been a formal offer, United’s interest is clear. Fofana, 25, was a solid performer last season, and his arrival could strengthen the English side’s midfield, as they continue to look for reinforcements for the new campaign.
Getafe are still looking for reinforcements and have set their sights on Lorient striker Mohamed Bamba. According to Marca, although negotiations have been difficult, the Madrid club continue to insist. Bamba, 22, has the player’s approval for the transfer, but the offers have not yet convinced the French club.
Paris Saint-Germain could add Jadon Sancho to their ranks, according to Sky. The Manchester United winger, who has not had the best relationship with Erik ten Hag, could land in Paris. Talks between the two clubs are advanced, and Sancho is in favour of a change of scenery at the Parc des Princes. This signing could be key to strengthening PSG’s attack.
Anthony Martial, currently a free agent after leaving Manchester United, is close to finding a new club. According to various reports, Lille and Atalanta are interested in the 28-year-old French striker. Atalanta seems the most likely destination, where Martial could replace Gianluca Scamacca and face Real Madrid in the European Super Cup.
Manchester United have finally decided not to go ahead with the signing of Manuel Ugarte from PSG. According to The Athletic, the English side are not willing to pay the €70 million that the Parisian club are asking for. With the talks now concluded, United will look for other options to strengthen their midfield, while Ugarte remains in Paris for now.
