With Juan Bernat injured, and Jordan Amavi and Hassane Kamara suffering precipitous drops in form last season, the question of Ligue 1’s best left-back remains one that’s not terribly easy to answer. Mozambique international Reinildo was a key element of Lille’s title-winning side last year, but his standards have admittedly dropped in the current campaign. Nuno Mendes, the teenage prospect signed from Sporting Clube de Portugal, is the latest example of Paris…

Paris Saint-Germain F.C, a little known club from France, bankrolled since 2011 by the Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) with Nassar Al-Khelaifi as current club president. With a reported worth of $8billion you would be mistaken for thinking the club had a lack of talent available to them. In almost every position they have top tier talent, including, goalkeeper. Today we’ll be looking at the two big names that PSG have fighting for that number one spot, Keylor Navas and Gianluigi Donnarumma and trying to figure out who we think should be their number one, after all, as fans we know more than the managers, right? Before we get started, it’s…

L’Équipe report this afternoon that Slovenian forward Robert Berić is set to make his return to Saint-Étienne at the end of the winter transfer window. The striker had previously spent five seasons at the club before leaving for Chicago Fire in 2020, with the 30-year-old remaining a popular figure among fans. As Les Verts look to complete a busy window in their efforts to lift themselves off the bottom of the table, Berić could be accompanied by another forward. The likes of Jean-Philippe Mateta of Crystal Palace, Sehrou Guirassy of Rennes or Vedat Muriqi of Lazio are among their targets. The latter has also garnered interest from CSKA Moscow. A right-back…

Both Venezia of Serie A and Mallorca of La Liga are interested in taking on the defender on loan. The latter club have notably signed PSG goalkeeper Sergio Rico on loan in the last week as well. As a result, Dagba, who is under contract until 2024, could leave this…

As reported by Foot Mercato, Lyon will likely soon be looking for midfield replacements with Bruno Guimarães close to joining Newcastle and the name of Montpellier captain Téji Savanier has been mentioned. Having been hugely impressed by Savanier since his arrival in Ligue 1 as OL coach this summer, Peter Bosz is interested in signing the 30-year-old midfielder. However, any approach would be difficult for Lyon given that Savanier enjoys playing for his home town club and has a contract proposal on the table to extend his deal beyond 2023.  Lyon have been linked with Romain Faivre and Ellyes Skhiri in recent days as they look to reinvest some of…

RMC Sport and Foot Mercato report that negotiations between Bayer Leverkusen and PSG over the possible transfer of French midfielder Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe have today broken down. The 21-year-old was due to join the German outfit on loan with an option to buy, but the player has still not agreed to a contract extension with Les Parisiens, and the two clubs cannot agree on the size of the option to buy. Bayer are trying to conclude a deal rapidly, PSG are showing no intensity to get this done – the two clubs are too far apart on the option to buy.  Bayer wanted around €4m, PSG were seeking €15m. Another…

During the meal, Les Verts director Loïc Perrin called Dupraz to inform him of Bernardoni and Thioub’s likely arrivals, although the deals needed to completed within 48 hours and absolute secrecy was needed.…
