The improbable base of Raphaël Varane
While Manchester United have decided not to trigger the option for a one-year extension of Raphaël Varane’s contract, the Frenchman is looking for a new destination. And it is on the side of Catalonia that the future of the Mancunian lies ahead. According to the latest information from Teamtalk.comtaken up by the Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, Manchester United would have offered the French defender to the Blaugrana for around €20 million. While a return to Madrid has been mentioned, a signing of Raphaël Varane for the enemy will certainly be perceived as a big betrayal among the supporters.
The promising beginnings of Arda Güler
Real Madrid were scared against Arandina, but ultimately won 3-1 and booked their ticket to the knockout stages of the Copa del Rey. Failed in the first half, the Madrilenians managed to find the fault after returning from the locker room. On the pitch at Arandina, resident of the fourth Spanish division, Carlo Ancelotti placed his trust in the youth. Turkish gem Arda Güler has finally made its grand debut. If he didn’t score, he impressed. “This boy promises”the newspaper ignites Marca. Guler could have scored, but his shot hit the post from a free kick. For Sport, it is above all the feeling of hope that predominates. The 18-year-old star played an hour of play, in which he showed personality and character. It was ultimately Brahim Diaz, more experienced, who took matters into his own hands to validate the qualification of his team. For the newspaper A.S., “Diaz wants this cut”. The Spaniard, recently voted player of the month, is in very good form with two goals and an assist in December.
Bruno Guimarães comes out of silence
Newcastle gave themselves some fresh air by winning 3-0 against Sunderland yesterday in the FA Cup. A qualification celebrated as it should be at the final whistle. “It’s party”rejoices Sunday Mail. Eddie Howe’s men celebrated it as a final coronation, proof that the Magpies are going through complicated times at the moment. THE Sunday Mirror also relays the Toons’ qualification. Bruno Guimarães, announced at PSG, also appeared very invested. The Brazilian did not hesitate to celebrate a defensive return in front of his supporters. On his social networks, the person published this message: “Newcastle United. Point”, as if to affirm his attachment to his club, just to silence the rumors. Not sure this is enough. As a reminder, Bradley Barcola had also posted a post recalling his love for OL… before signing for PSG a few weeks later.
