PSG’s advantage disturbs in Spain
The task promises to be tough for Chelsea who played a big match against Newcastle last Saturday. For its part, PSG was at rest thanks to the LFP. It is an eternal debate and it is controversial in Spain where it is explained that certain clubs complain of a lack of fairness. While Paris was able to postpone its Ligue 1 match against FC Nantes, Chelsea had to continue against Newcastle, who had just faced Barça a few days before. And it was against the Magpies that Reece James was injured again. A real problem of sporting fairness arises since Ligue 1 is the only championship where a match has been postponed with a view to the Champions League. PSG will obviously not complain about benefiting from it, even if this approach is causing discussion since last year, Paris refused to postpone its match against LOSC before the Round of 16 of the Champions League of the Dogues.
Chelsea sanction does not please everyone
The Blues were harshly punished yesterday. As explained in the JT, Chelsea are banned from recruiting for one season with a two-year suspended sentence due to an infringement of Premier League rules, the London club will also pay a fine of more than 12 million euros. Except that the English press finds this sentence more than light. THE Daily Mail don’t pull any punches: “ Chelsea have won seven trophies with players purchased through illicit payments. The Premier League has shown pathetic indulgence! », blurts the English newspaper. Yesterday Chelsea said in a press release that it was happy to have reached an arrangement with the Premier League, this is surely because it was the current leaders who reported these anomalies. They knew that sooner or later, they would find themselves in the sights of the authorities, so they preferred to collaborate. But obviously, this sanction is not unanimous…
Leão’s future called into question
Rafael Leão is at the heart of all discussions in Italy after his reaction during his change on Sunday evening against Lazio Rome. According to the Gazzetta dello sportno sanction is planned, whether financial or sporting. The club understands perfectly well that a player is not happy to go out and it is rather seen as something positive. However, this does not prevent Milan from thinking about the future of the Portuguese striker. Rafael Leão is a decisive player, but not enough given his status and his talent. All offers will be examined next summer, but the clause of 170 million euros will inevitably push everyone away. An offer of 80 million euros could be enough, in particular from English clubs and obviously from Saudi clubs. If Rafael Leão leaves, AC Milan could set its sights on Antonio Nusa who plays for RB Leipzig. The value of the Norwegian international is estimated at 35 million euros, much less than Rafael Leão.
