Jérémy Doku links his future to Manchester City
In England, Jérémy Doku makes the headlines Manchester Evening News. The Belgian will extend his contract with Manchester City until 2031, with an official announcement expected next week. This extension rewards his very good season, during which he established himself as one of the most important players in the squad. After a start marked by injuries and irregularity, Doku put everyone on the same page in several crucial matches. Maresca’s new system, which asks his wingers to stick the line and provoke one on one, should further favor his qualities. Doku must now reunite with his teammates after a few weeks of vacation, with a possible participation in the Community Shield against Arsenal.
Ibrahim Mbaye has not yet chosen his future club
Ibrahim Mbaye could become PSG’s next big sell, after being convinced he would get little playing time in Paris. The 18-year-old Senegalese winger, under contract until 2028 and author of 42 professional matches, wants to join a club in which he can play regularly. Several English and German clubs are interested, but Liverpool and Dortmund seem to be the two most advanced options today. PSG remains open to a departure if a satisfactory offer arrives, while Mbaye has not yet chosen his future destination. His choice will depend above all on the sporting project, the promised playing time and the price set by Paris, which has yet to be clarified.
Hansi Flick’s appeal call that changed everything
“Rodri says yes to Barça” poster Mundo Deportivo on its front page. While everyone was convinced that Rodri would join Real Madrid this summer, the Mancunian midfielder finally said no to the Merengues. He should engage with Barça, the sworn enemy. A hell of a turnaround, but one that has explanations. Sport indicates that Hansi Flick called Rodri to present his project to him and convince him to sign, and that’s what changed everything. During this call, the German notably explained and made Rodri understand that he would be more comfortable and essential in the Barça environment rather than in that of Real Madrid.
