I’m aware there’s already some speculation about the future of Charles De Ketelaere, who only joined AC Milan from Club Brugge in the summer.
He has admittedly been a bit slow to get going, but this is because Milan, Serie A and that level is not the same as Belgian football… so I think it’s normal. All the links I’m seeing are not true because he will stay at AC Milan and they trust him as top player for the future after investing almost €35m on him.
For sure Arsenal remain interested in Mykhaylo Mudryk, they are following him for a long time but there’s still nothing decided. Shakhtar Donetsk want more than €60-65m to sell him now and it’s not easy. The race is open, if Arsenal really want him they have to move fast.
As I said a few days ago, Arsenal are also keeping an eye on Facundo Torres. They have a few options they like in this position but there is nothing advanced for the moment.
Despite what you might have heard about Joao Felix being on the market, I’m still told Atletico Madrid are trying to protect the player and they want to trust him for the future.
The situation with Diego Simeone is not easy, so if they will receive a really important bid it could change; but there are still no official proposals.
Personally, I think he deserves to play always as starter to prove himself at the best level, this is why it’s not working with Atletico as of now.
Yesterday was the end of an era – Gerard Pique made his final appearance for Barcelona at the Nou Camp as he prepares for retirement.
Speaking after the game, he said: “In life, when you get older, you realize that sometimes to love is to let go. I’m convinced that I’ll be here again in the future. I love Barça. That’s why I consider it’s the right moment to go. This is not a goodbye. I was born here, I’ll die here.”
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting on his future: “I’m just focused on FC Bayern and the here and now. I’m very, very happy and could imagine staying here longer.”
Despite speculation to the contrary, I’m not aware of any one club being the favourites for Jude Bellingham at the moment. I expect that one week we’ll hear that it’s Liverpool, the next week Real…
