The summary of all the transfer market news of the day that has just been archived. Between rumors, negotiations and behind the scenes, here is the most important news.
JUVENTUS, GIUNTOLI: “POGBA HAS BEEN STILL FOR A LONG TIME, WE ARE WAITING FOR THE TAS. WITH VLAHOVIC WE TALK ABOUT RENEWAL”. LAZIO, FOR THE FUTURE THEY FOLLOW SANTIAGO SIMÓN: HE IS A FULLER CAPABLE OF LAYING THE ENTIRE PANEL. JUVENTUS, POGBA RETURN TO THE STADIUM: THE FRENCH HE’S IN THE STANDS AGAINST CAGLIARI
Juventus-Cagliari will kick off at 12.30pm, valid for the seventh matchday of Serie A: the Bianconeri must respond to the victories of Napoli and Inter in particular, to stay in the lead in the Scudetto fight. During the pre-match, sporting director Giuntoli spoke to Dazn’s microphones: “”McKennie? At the beginning we had some problems with the renewal, it was requested by some teams, then we found an agreement and we are happy that it remained.”
What is the club’s position on Pogba? “In the meantime we are waiting for the final decision from the Tas, he was a great player, but he has been out of action for a long time. Let’s wait.”
On Bremer’s injury: Will you intervene in January or already with the free agents? “We feel sorry for him who is a great player, it’s clear that in the meantime the coach will have to make do with the players he has who are valuable and we’ll see how the team will react. Then in January we’ll see if there are any possibilities, it’s still very early “.
Are you negotiating Vlahovic’s renewal? “He is a great footballer, we enjoy him. We are talking with his entourage, we are very confident for the future.”
Thiago Motta rotates a lot in midfield. “He is a coach who uses midfielders a lot, we have many and very good ones, so we are calm about the future.”
Santiago Simón of River Plate, right-handed wildcard, full-back or midfielder if necessary, would have entered Lazio’s sights. The portal elcrackdeportivo.com writes it: Simon is an Argentine right winger, born in 2002. He has made 27 appearances this year, one goal and one assist. River is coached by Marcelo Gallardo and Simòn is under contract until December 2026, with Girona also following him.
He has a valuation under ten million, he is 22 years old, he is 1.81 meters tall. He plays multiple roles. He is considered, by identikit, as a right-wing midfielder. He played as a full-back, midfielder and winger. The market is always open, say the sporting directors. The study of talents is always underway, for the January plans everything is postponed knowing full well that in January Lotito never or almost never invests and certainly not to make people dream.
Having received the reduction of his suspension, Paul Pogba returns – for now as a spectator – to the Stadium. The French midfielder, for the first time this season, is in fact in the stands of the Turin stadium to watch Juventus’ match against Cagliari. Still under contract with the Bianconeri, Polpo saw his fine reduced to 18 months, with the possibility of returning to the field at the beginning of 2025.
Sports director Cristiano Giuntoli spoke about his future before the match: “In the meantime we are waiting for the final decision from the Tas, he was a great footballer, but he has been out of action for a long time. Let’s wait.” It remains to be seen whether Juve will work to exercise the termination of the player’s contract, which has not yet been reached.
Pogba, for the record, will not witness Teun Koopmeiners’ first goal in the black and white shirt: the Dutchman, suffering from pain in his side, was in fact replaced by Nicolò Fagioli at the start of the second half.
PSG, HERE IS DEMBELÉ AGAIN: BACK IN THE LIST OF CALLED UP AFTER THE CLARIFICATION WITH LUIS ENRIQUE. UNITED IN STRUGGLE. DANGER OF EXEMPTION, BUT NOT FOR TEN HAG: “LONG-TERM PROJECT WITH THE SOCIETY”
As expected in recent days, Ousmane Dembélé is back in the Paris Saint-Germain squad for Sunday’s seventh matchday of Ligue 1 against Nice, scheduled for tonight (8.45pm). The French right wing had just been excluded from the Champions League squad for the match against Arsenal at the behest of Luis Enrique, the Parisian coach, due to disciplinary reasons.
But following a tête-à-tête between the two protagonists, Dembélé assumed his responsibilities, accepted the punishment and promised to return to work at his best. And so it was: having overcome his angina problems, the former Barcelona player returned to be part of the PSG group that will challenge OGC today.
This doesn’t look good for Erik ten Hag. The goalless draw found today against Aston Villa condemns Manchester United to 14th place in the Premier League with only 8 points in 7 games, horrifying numbers that will be considered by the Glazer-INEOS owners when it comes to the future of the Dutch coach. The same one who, however, seemed very calm to the Daily Mail’s microphones.
The declaration. “Club? We talk all the time, every week. We are all on board, together, on the same page. We are working on a long-term project. We have shown in two very difficult away games that this is a team. You can see the spirit” , Ten Hag pointed out after the two draws achieved at home to Porto in the Europa League and to the Villains in the league today.
