The TOP 5 files of the day not to be missed

1. Al-Hilal crazy offer for Messi?

When his contract expires next June, striker Lionel Messi has an agreement in principle for a renewal at Paris Saint-Germain. But currently, the Argentine international is free to discuss with the team of his choice for a arrival next season. And according to information from the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo on Thursday, Al-Hilal dreams of securing the services of the recent world champion!

After the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo Al-Nassr, the Saudi club wants to react and would be ready to make a crazy offer, estimated at 300 million euros a year, to convince the native of Rosario! While this figure may make your head spin, Messi, still determined to evolve at the top level, looks well on his way to staying in Paris.

2. Marcus Thuram still followed by Chelsea

Despite the arrival of Joao Flix, officially loaned from Atletico Madrid on Wednesday until the end of the season, Chelsea intend to continue to light up the winter transfer market and strengthen their offensive sector. This arrival, in fact, does not change the Blues’ interest in striker Marcus Thuram, assures The Guardian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

At the end of his contract in June with Borussia Mnchengladbach, the French international is the subject of discussions with the English in view of an arrival in this market period. It remains to be seen whether the London club will really change gears in this case, estimated at between 10 and 15 million euros.

3. Wolverhampton move to Sarabia

Watched at Paris Saint-Germain, winger Pablo Sarabia is attracting interest this winter transfer window. According to information from Madrid’s AS newspaper on Thursday, the Spanish international is even the subject of a concrete and serious approach from Wolverhampton.

While there are other teams in the area, the Premier League outfit have the upper hand thanks to a financial powerhouse capable of satisfying the former FC Sville player and reigning French champions. But for the moment, despite the ongoing discussions, the current leader of Ligue 1 has not yet taken a decision on the situation of Sarabia, under contract until June 2024.

4. Depay said yes to Atletico Madrid

Following the formalization of Joao Flix’s loan departure to Chelsea on Wednesday, Atletico Madrid are stepping up their gear for FC Barcelona striker Memphis Depay. According to information from the Madrid-based newspaper Marca on Thursday, the two Spanish clubs are getting closer to a total agreement for the Dutch international.

If the details of this operation are not filtered, the former Lyonnais has already given the green light to join the Colchoneros. Therefore, this movement could also end very quickly in the days ahead. A boon for the Blaugrana, who absolutely wanted to get rid of Depay’s salary this winter before his contract expires next June.

5. Longoria clear about his intentions

Following the arrival of Ruslan Malinovskyi, Olympique de Marseille intend to continue to be active in this winter transfer window. Before the media on Thursday, Marseille president Pablo Longoria provided an update on his one goal: to sign a striker with a similar profile, Amine Harit, who has a knee injury and is out for the second half of the season.

Are you looking for a CTS player? For nothing. Especially in relation to how we play with three forwards. In this line two behind the striker as Igor Tudor plays, naturally after Amine’s injury, we are looking for another striker with the characteristics to be able to play in spaces. We must also find this characteristic, brought by Amine, of percussion and of driving the ball over 30 or 40 meters. We want a similar profile, we believe we need it to complete the squad. A piston? No, replied the Spaniard. A very precise roadmap.
