Brahim Diaz in the viewfinder of Benfica
The Benfica intends to quickly forget the failure Joao Félix, who finally signed in Al Nassr, with Brahim Diaz. The Portuguese club has already launched discussions with Real Madrid, the advantage is the right link between the two clubs, especially a few weeks after the transfer of Alvaro Carreras to Real. But there is a major problem in this file, it is the salary of the Moroccan international. We will see if the Benfica manages to find an agreement with a player who does not seem to enter the plans of Xabi Alonso. For Brahim Diaz, a start can be a solution to find playing time for the next CAN with Morocco.
Barça must sell!
Barça will launch its sales operation. Fermin Lopez is one of the players who could leave Barcelona this summer despite his great season and his rather high playing time last season. Manchester United is interested in the Spanish international, we even mention an offer of up to 70 million euros. It is an amount that would make Barça think that as always needs liquidity. In terms of departures, Marc Casado is also one of the players mentioned. There is an internal discussion on his case, he was injured at the end of the season and the return in very large shape of Jong Frenkie could make him shade. There is also Marc Bernal and Gavi, in short a very big competition. Hector Fort has less playing time prospects, however several clubs are interested. This is the case of Dortmund, Ajax, AC Milan and Paris FC. The club just promoted in Ligue 1 wants to continue its transfer window with the right side of Barça in the event of failure of the Hamari Traoré track.
OM with encouragement
Less than three months after the end of the Ligue 1 season, the Olympians found their audience for the first of the two friendly matches that take place at the Vélodrome. A draw against Sevilla FC (1-1), an encouraging return for OM which had opened the scoring thanks to the inevitable Mason Greenwood. In terms of supporters, confidence is maximum. Between an exciting transfer window, found stability and a style of play that pleases, Marseille fans place a lot of hopes in their team. Despite everything, there are still a lot of details to refine, especially in attack where it caught last night. OM knows how to keep the ball but the Olympians have had too few frank opportunities throughout the game, it may be necessary to wait for the arrival in the eleven of Igor Paixao to see more madness. Everything is not to be discarded either, far from it, OM was very interesting in the pressing, defensively too, we saw more solidity, and Mason Greenwood confirmed its excellent form of the moment. The Englishman opened the scoring of the head, auspicious for OM who will need a greenwood at the top of his form for this season which promises to be loaded between the championship, the French Cup and obviously the Champions League. “” “So far, I am very satisfied”Roberto de Zerbi admitted.
