AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni on Rafael Leao new contract talks: “I’m told that Rafa is really happy in Milano and with AC Milan. Paolo Maldini’s taking care of the new deal negotiation so I’m confident and relaxed about it.”

Despite some reports about Arsenal moving into a strong position, my understanding is that there are no favourites at this stage for Joao Felix.

His agent is speaking to many clubs, it’s the moment of meetings and discussions but nothing is advanced yet with Atletico or with the player.

I think Joao Felix would be a fantastic signing for Arsenal as for any other club in the world, but he has to play. Regular starter in every single game, otherwise it makes no sense.

I can say that there are no discussions ongoing now between Arsenal and Reims for Folarin Balogun to be recalled in January — it’s quiet, despite speculation. All parties expect Balogun to complete the season on loan at Reims, as things stand.

Despite some reports about Arsenal moving into a strong position, and links with many other top teams my understanding is that there are no favourites at this stage for Joao Felix.

His agent is speaking to many clubs, it’s the moment of meetings and discussions but nothing is advanced yet with Atletico or with the player. They want to protect their investment, so it’s not a cheap or easy deal.

Laimer would join Bayern as free agent in June 2023 despite interest and also approaches from English clubs. There’s verbal negotiations at final stages, still waiting to sign documents. Laimer will leave RB Leipzig after he accepted to stay in…
