Laporta pushes for Xavi
FC Barcelona is working on a crazy goal: to convince Xavi to stay. THE Mundo Deportivo details in today's edition “the plan for Xavi” which consists of making him change his mind when he announced his departure at the end of the season. But since this announcement which had the effect of an electric shock, Barça has shown a completely different face. Fervent defender of Xavi, Joan Laporta wants to do everything to keep him until 2025 with potentially an optional year. The president believes that he is the best to lead the youth. He values his role as a club man and hopes to offer him recruits like Erling Haaland. The media gives other names like Kimmich, Zubimendi or even Bernardo Silva in its interior pages. It remains to be seen whether the speech will be the same in the event of elimination against PSG in the Champions League.
Real are chasing two crack players
Real Madrid are going to have a very, very eventful summer. The Madrid club is building an incredible eleven for the future. Like the placard Marca on its front page, Yoro and Mastantuono are in the viewfinder. Nothing really new, but according to the newspaper, Real Madrid “wants them now” to outrun the competition. Reminder of the prices, €100 million for Lille and €45 million for the crack River Plate. The two are respectively aged 18 and 16, two shots for the future. For the international hopeful, the file is on track given that the player gives his priority to Madrid. For the young Argentine striker, the idea is to secure him as quickly as possible. Because competition is fierce in both cases, with PSG particularly interested.
AC Milan targets a new Blue
As you know, AC Milan is very fond of French talent. Looking for a defensive midfielder, the Milanese club had checked the name of Khéphren Thuram. And indeed in its interior pages, La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that AC Milan has a crush on Youssouf Fofana from AS Monaco. It perfectly meets the desired profile which would reinforce a midfielder who is stronger in the offensive phase than without the ball. AS Monaco is demanding €30 million but, one year before the end of the French international's contract, it is likely that the deal could be concluded at €20 million plus bonuses, explains the transalpine newspaper. All this should be decided before the Euro.
