The inevitable departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United forces the English club to react. And last night, the country's press dropped a huge bomb! According to the Daily Mirror, which has a front page this morning, the Red Devils are going to make a move for Kylian Mbappé this winter. The English publication claims that Erik ten Hag and Manchester United have made Kylian Mbappé a potential target to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. The Mancunians have the financial muscle to offer him a weekly salary of around €572,000 (the same as CR7) as well as various bonuses to motivate him to sign while paying a transfer fee of over €171m to Paris. But it is hard to imagine PSG letting him go, even less so at that price. The player, who has been keen to leave recently, does not seem to be giving MU his priority. Victor Osimhen, the striker from Napoli, is another target.
Chelsea is making moves this winter and it's starting to look bad for Edouard Mendy. With the arrival of Graham Potter, the Senegalese goalkeeper's position as number one has been called into question. According to the Daily Mail, his coach is even having doubts and is considering bringing in Spanish rival Kepa as the first choice. The 30-year-old goalkeeper is now considering a move away from the club. According to several British media reports, previous talks about an extension to his contract, which expires in 2025, have failed. The Italian's team-mate Jorginho could follow suit, as his contract expires next June. The Italian knows he is in a strong position and is demanding a net salary of €13.6m to continue his adventure in London, according to Sport. The 31-year-old, who is being courted by Barcelona and Milan, is currently being paid around €6.4m. Chelsea would be willing to pay between €7m and €8m per season. Finally, there is the thorny issue of Hakim Ziyech, who has never established himself since his arrival. A departure seems inevitable for the Moroccan. According to Calciomercato, an Hakim Ziyech-Adrien Rabiot swap is being considered. Juventus would be ready to sacrifice the Frenchman. According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, AC Milan are also in the running.
According to the Daily Mail, Graham Potter does not want to welcome Cristiano Ronaldo to strengthen his attack. The 37-year-old, who has also been linked with Napoli and Sporting CP, does not fit the profile the English coach wants. It's not even the beginning of the season, but Cristiano Ronaldo has already seen a prestigious opportunity close in on him...
