Marcus Rashford is set

Present at FC Barcelona’s Christmas dinner, President Joan Laporta discussed several subjects, including Real Madrid’s position in the Negreira affair. Subjects which clearly do not move the Spanish club in the right direction. But behind the scenes, the president seems to have made many decisions. As relayed Mundo DeportivoBarça seems eager to extend the adventure with Marcus Rashford. The English striker convinced with his performances and today he is closer to staying at Barça than leaving. His contribution in goals and assists, his ability to intimidate opponents and also the competition he generates in the team are valued. From a statistical point of view, he has seven goals and nine assists in 23 official matches. As a reminder, the Englishman has a purchase option set at 30 million euros.

Record direction for Kylian Mbappé

Direction Spain with the newspaper Marcawhich highlights the ultimate challenge of 2025 for Kylian Mbappé. The season is already good from an individual point of view for the Frenchman, with, as usual, many goals scored. More important than the goals is the new dimension he has taken on this year at Real Madrid. He has finally become the expected leader of the Merengues. And he has the opportunity to prove it by breaking a historic record held by his idol and Merengues legend, Cristiano Ronaldo. Mbappé, two goals away from making history, warns the Spanish newspaper. With 58 goals in 58 games in 2025, the Kyks can surpass Cristiano’s record as Real Madrid’s top scorer in a calendar year. Facing Sevilla tomorrow, he needs one to equal Cristiano’s record as the highest scorer in the club’s history in a calendar year. The Portuguese achieved this record of 59 goals in 2013. The Frenchman would surpass it with a double and reach the 60 goal mark. Enough to enter into the history of Casa Blanca.

Nike thinks of Désiré Doué

Kylian Mbappé hopes to achieve this record which would allow him to have additional arguments in his future collaborations. That’s good, RMC Sport reports that the Frenchman is in intense negotiations with Nike. Member of the famous comma brand, Mbappé sees his contract with the American giant end next summer. And obviously, the negotiations to extend this deal are not really moving forward. The player is comfortable at Nike, but obviously he has certain requirements, and other brands want to take advantage of them. This is the case for Adidas, which hopes to be able to strike a huge blow with KM10. This would obviously be great news for Real Madrid, dressed by the German brand. Under Armor would also be on the scene, again according to information from RMC Sportand the brand which counts in its ranks a certain Achraf Hakimi, very close to the Frenchman, has solid financial arguments. In the event of the loss of Mbappé, Nike has already considered his potential successor. This is Désiré Doué, the new star of PSG and world football. The Frenchman currently has no equipment supplier.
