Argentina in mourning with Lionel Messi
“Messi’s saddest day”illustrates the newspaper La Voz. The father, mentor and agent of Pulga, died at the age of 68 in a clinic in Rosario following a long illness according to Argentine media. He was much more than Messi’s father, as the Argentine newspaper writes. The entire city of Rosario is affected by the disappearance of Jorge Messi. Moreover, the tributes are already very numerous. Here is what La Voz writes about the last Mondial de la Pulga: “The images of Lionel are obvious. The endless hugs from his teammates. This way of seeking comfort. This permanent feeling that Messi carried a particular emotional charge. There was in particular this image of Messi after the match, when he remained on the pitch for a moment. He seemed to understand that behind the footballer, there was a son. And that his story with the World Cup was also that of his father.” The Barça legend can also count on the support of Spain which did not hesitate to pay tribute to Jorge Messi as the newspaper did Sport. We must not forget that Leo Messi’s father was the shadow architect of his son’s extraordinary destiny.
New twist for Zion Suzuki
In Italy where the Zion Suzuki case is taking a new turn. The Parma goalkeeper continues to approach PSG for a transfer of around €35 million, but at the same time, Juventus is on the prowl. Suzuki is attracted by Juve, but he has doubts about a loan, he would prefer a permanent transfer. Clearly, Zion Suzuki must assimilate the idea of a double transfer and a loan and asks that the situation be clarified. For PSG, recruiting Suzuki is a market opportunity, but Luis Enrique cannot promise him a starting place, so loaning him for a year to a competitive club like Juventus, in a championship he knows, is a good idea. Especially since Juve wouldn’t really have the means to afford the Japanese goalkeeper, while a loan could help everyone. To be continued!
Arsenal aims very high
In England. Arsenal yesterday formalized the arrival of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle. The Brazilian international signed with the Gunners for a check for more than €85 million. He is an XXL recruit for Arsenal who further strengthens their midfield around cornerstone Declan Rice. Bruno can take Arsenal to new heights, that’s a bit of the message from the English press. If Arsenal has often had too few squads in recent seasons, the management continues to improve all that and we have already had a good glimpse with an English championship title obtained last season. But the Gunners want more, with the Champions League at the top of their list. Bruno Guimarães has the experience of big events and he has the talent to help Arsenal reach the crucial matches in the European Cup, while remaining successful in the Premier League.
