Foot Mercato report this afternoon that Lyon are interested in signing Italy international Emerson Palmieri, having made an enquiry for the Chelsea man. With Les Gones’ initial target Patrick van Aanholt already signing with Galatasaray, the Lyon management have turned their attention to the Euro 2020 champion.

The 26-year-old has only made two league appearances this season with the Blues, and is not considered an integral part of the squad. The full-back nevertheless impressed during this summer’s tournament after coming in as Leonardo Spinazzola’s replacement in the semi-final against Spain and playing as a starter in the final against England.

With reports in Italy and Spain linking the former Roma man to Napoli and Sevilla, Lyon appear to have also thrown their hat in the ring for the former Brazil youth international, with Peter Bosz looking to bring in a new left-back into the squad.

L’Équipe report tonight that young Paris Saint-Germain forward Kenny Nagera is set to join Ligue 2 side Bastia on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old, who has featured in Les Parisiens’ pre-season friendlies, notably scoring against Sevilla last Tuesday, had been looking to move in order to accrue playing time over the coming campaign. With Toulouse and Le Havre also looking at him, Nagera will now join the Corsicans, and is expected to fly out to his new club on Monday.

The French youth international, who made his professional debut with PSG during last season’s league campaign, had been on the team sheet for tonight’s Trophée des Champions defeat to Ligue 1 title holders Lille.

In his pre-match press conference before Lyon’s opening game of the season, on Saturday against Brest, Peter Bosz discussed the upcoming campaign and highlighted the players he would be counting on this season. 

His words transcribed in L’Équipe, the Dutch manager notably named right-back Léo Dubois as club captain – replacing Memphis Depay, now at Barcelona – with striker Moussa Dembélé as vice-captain and midfielder Houssem Aouar completing the hierarchy.

On whether he is counting on Houssem Aouar this season

Yes.

On the competition this season in Ligue 1

I’ve seen the business being done by PSG, Nice, Monaco – who have signed one of our players [Jean Lucas] – Rennes, Marseille… These clubs have signed players, that’s how it is. But I still have to find out what the teams’ strengths are. I’ve thouroughly analysed Brest first of all.

On not signing anyone under his management yet

Yes, the players who came in were here before I arrived. Fortunately, the window runs until the end of August, so we still have time to better balance out the squad. I won’t talk about specific positions but it’s clear that we still need good players in every line. We have lots of players, but I need quality in line with our style of play.

On the club’s pre season preparation

I’m happy with what we’ve done. We’ve progressed in the way we play but we’re not ready, that’s clear. But no club is, at this stage. We believe that we’ve progressed between the friendly matches against Sporting and Porto – I saw a big difference even though the result wasn’t good.

On Rayan Cherki

He’s a player who’s nearly 18. He has a lot to learn, but so do 32-year-old players. He has many very interesting aspects, and some that he needs to work on as well. That’s why I’m here, to work with young players and make them better.

UEFA have announced this evening that it has opened disciplinary proceedings against Sparta Prague following their Champions League qualifier tie against Monaco.

Midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni had complained of racist abuse in the aftermath to scoring the opener explaining on social media the next day that he had been subjected to monkey noises from opposition fans. The match was briefly stopped and Frenchman was supported by team-mates and manager, with Niko Kovač later highlighting that Monaco had “won against racism as well”.

The proceedings are based on three charges – “Discriminatory behaviour”, “Provocative offensive messages”, and “Throwing of objects”.

Monaco ran out 2-0 winners of the tie’s first leg, with away goals from Tchouaméni and Kevin Volland giving Kovač’s men a healthy lead going into next week’s deciding fixture for a place in the playoffs again

RMC Sport report that Premier League side Newcastle United have submitted a €14m + €2m bonuses offer for Swedish midfielder Jens Cajuste, as competition intensifies for Rennes in their pursuit of the 22-year-old FC Midtjylland midfielder.

SRFC have had 3 bids knocked back by the Danish club for Cajuste, who earlier this window had made a move to the Ligue 1 club a priority. But with the Magpies entering the race, it appears possible that the cards are going to be redistributed.

MONTPELLIER – 2 (Luan Peres OG 30′, Laborde 34′)

Dimitry Bertaud, 5

Junior Sambia, 3 – Oddly shied away from the ball to allow Payet’s free kick to skip through the wall for 2-2 and struggled with Konrad in the first half.

Matheus Thuler, 5

Maxime Estève, 5

Nicolas Cozza, 3 – Worked hard but was unable to prevent Ünder creating openings down the right throughout the game.

Joris Chotard, 5

Jordan Ferri, 5

Florent Mollet, 4 – Unable to have an effect on the game and was unable to make the most of his admittedly rare openings.

Elye Wahi, 4 – Produced one brilliant run which turned Saliba inside out but was largely anonymous besides.

Gaëtan Laborde, 7 – His run across the penalty spot forced the own goal before a cleverly disguised effort from the edge of the area fooled Mandanda for 2-0. Montpellier will sorely miss him should a move be found.

Andy Delort, 6 – Showed flashes of his quality throughout the game but, as is often the case with Delort, they were fleeting but he still affected proceedings – an arrowed cross led to the opener and he worked well with Laborde when given the chance.

Others Souquet 5, Ristic 5, Leroy 5, Mavididi 4, Makouana 5.

MARSEILLE – 3 (Ünder 68′, Payet 75′, 80′)

Steve Mandanda, 3 – Not happy having to use his feet in tight spaces and had a David Seaman-esque moment as he was deceived by Laborde’s looping second.

Willam Saliba, 5

Leonardo Balerdi, 5

Luan Peres, 5 – Sneaks a five despite an erratic and largely poor first half having made a couple of well timed challenges later on, including one to win the ball back for Payet’s winner.

Pape Gueye, 5

Boubacar Kamara, 6 – Serene if understated in midfield, used the ball cleverly and quietly protected his back three effectively.

Mattéo Guendouzi, 6 – Typically all-action performance, bold and aggressive throughout.

Gerson, 3 – Very quiet overall playing almost as a support striker, had no real impact on the game and looked off the pace.

Konrad de la Fuente, 7 – A real threat with his tricky and direct style, especially early on, and produced a neat assist for OM’s first.

Cengiz Ünder, 7 – Not everything came off for him but terrorised a young Montpellier defence at times in the first half especially and arrived at the back post to start the comeback with a simple finish.

Dimitri Payet, 8 – Superb, classic Payet. Fortunate to see his free-kick slip through the wall but a characteristically nonchalant run and side foot finish won the game after some imaginative play throughout.

Others: Benedetto 5, Henrique 5, Dieng 5.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League play-off first leg against Shakhtar Donetsk, Monaco manager Niko Kovač played down his side’s status in the tie ahead of the clash against the Ukrainians.

With Les Monégasques suffering from a disappointing start to the league campagin, their European form has been a different story – having beaten Sparta Prague 5-1 on aggregate in the previous round.

“Shakhtar are a formidable opponent. They’ve qualified for the Champions League 13 times in the last 15 years. We remember their matches last year against Real Madrid, who they beat twice. They have lots of talented Brazilian players, a new Italian coach [Roberto De Zerbi], they’re a nice team to watch.”

“I expect a different match to the ones we’ve played so far. They’re always looking to attack, to create chances and play their game. It should help us play our way too and create chances. They play with four defenders at the back, whereas usually French teams play with 5, which is harder to catch out.”

“Clearly they are the favourites, but we want to beat the odds. We want to reach a clear objective – get to the Champions League group stages. We worked very hard last season, now we have a two-act final – we are physically, mentally and tactically ready.”

BREST – 1 (Le Douaron 90+1′)

Marco Bizot, 4 – Questions persist as to if he is truly an upgrade on Larsonneur in goal. Got a hand to Guirassy’s opener and maybe should have kept it out.

Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel, 5

Lilian Brassier, 6 – The pick of Brest’s back line with some bullish and alert defending.

Brendan Chardonnet, 5

Jere Uronen, 5

Hugo Magnetti, 5

Hianga’a Mbock, 5

Irvin Cardona, 3 – Completely anonymous.

Romain Faivre, 5 – Some neat touches showing his obvious quality but flickered in and out of the game while struggling to truly affect proceedings. Links to a move away may be a little premature, another season in Ligue 1 could do him good.

Franck Honorat, 7 – Did just about enough for seven having worked hard and threatened throughout when given the chance. Created a number of openings from his flank, often taking on his full-back and crossing accurately – one such centre allowed Le Douaron to head a late leveller.

Steve Mounié, 4 – Produced a powerful first half header from the edge of the area which was superbly saved by Gomis but missed two clear chances besides later on, the second should really have resulted in a goal despite little time to react.

Others: Jean-Kevin Duverne 5, Julien Faussurier 5, Jérémy Le Douaron 7.

RENNES – 1 (Guirassy 84′)

Alfred Gomis, 7 – Amongst a handful of smart stops were two outstanding saves, the best being a fingertip touch onto the post from Mounié’s long range first half header.

Hamari Traoré, 4 – One of his more shaky displays and managed to lose Le Douaron for the late headed equaliser.

Nayef Aguerd, 5

Loïc Badé, 5

Birger Meling, 6 – Got forward well throughout, reliable in possession and provided a super cross for Guirassy’s opener.

Lesley Ugochukwu, 6 – Protected his back four well, winning the ball in midfield and using possession neatly. Still a little raw but Rennes may not need to sign a holding midfielder at this rate.

Flavien Tait, 5

Benjamin Bourigeaud, 6 – His arrowed crosses and corners were again a danger throughout and he contributed to some neat interplay.

Jérémy Doku, 6 – Somehow side footed wide with the goal at his mercy early on having arrived late at the back post but grew into the game with some typically illusive runs and some intelligent passing.

Kamaldeen Sulemana, 4 – There was one thrilling first half run but the new man posted a frustrating display besides. Occasionally threatened to create something but lost the ball a little easily and faded badly in the second half.

Martin Terrier, 5

Others: Serhou Guirassy 7, Eduardo Camavinga 5, Warmed Omari 5, Matthis Abline 5, Mathys Tel 5.

With the departures of key players Toma Bašić to Lazio and Yacine Adli to AC Milan seemingly immanent, Bordeaux are looking to bolster their already under-strength midfield with the signing of Braga’s Fransérgio.

As reported by 20 Minutes, the 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder was expected in Bordeaux last night to undergo his medical and is expected to sign a three year deal (plus another optional year) with Les Girondins for a €6m fee.

However, for the move to be finalised, FCGB will need to sell a player to comply with the regulations of French football’s financial watchdog, the DNCG. That player is likely to be Bašić or Adli but Basic’s suitor Lazio also need to sell before signing the Croatian.

Turkish Süper Lig club Kayserispor have announced tonight that an agreement has been reached for the sale of young goalkeeper Doğan Alemdar to Rennes.

The 18-year-old’s transfer fee has not been revealed, but according to Foot Mercato the sum is set at €3.5m, while the Turkish side will retain a percentage of the player’s future transfer fee.

Alemdar played his first full season in professional football last year, starting 28 games and contributing to securing his team’s safety by a single point.
