Luis Campos decides Ousmane Dembélé will not join PSG

As reported by Le Parisien, PSG will not be signing Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembélé this summer.

Having pursued the 25-year-old France international for some time, both in January and ahead of this coming summer’s transfer window under the leadership of sporting director Leonardo, and being in talks with the player in recent days as Nasser Al-Khelaifi met with the player’s agent, PSG have ended their talks with Dembélé.

The reason: Luis Campos. The former Lille and Monaco sporting director will assume the role vacated by Leonardo’s sacking this week and he has decided to end the club’s pursuit of the soon-to-be free agent.

Two aspects of the transfer gave Campos pause. Firstly, the player’s injury record which has seen 13 separate fitness issues over five seasons in Spain, say the paper, causing him to miss 120 games for Barcelona. The second concerns his ability to adapt to Campos’ new ideals, with Dembélé often criticised for a poor attitude and lack of focus amid a partying lifestyle.

Instead, Campos, whose appointment is not yet official, prefers fiercely dedicated players and sees Dembélé as a risky signing.

Lille in talks with Paulo Fonseca

Foot Mercato report that Lille are interested in bringing in former Shakhtar Donetsk and Roma coach Paulo Fonseca to replace Jocelyn Gourvennec.

As initially reported by A Bola, Les Dogues are in talks with the Portuguese manager after a disappointing season which saw the team finish in 10th, a major drop-off from the previous year’s title win.

The manager himself is interested in going to Ligue 1, although no concrete offer is on the table as of yet. Fonseca is currently a free agent, having left his spot at Roma to compatriot José Mourinho last year.

Lens expected to complete Lukasz Poreba signing

As reported by La Voix du Nord, Ligue 1 Lens are soon expected to complete the signing of Polish midfielder Lukasz Poreba.

The 22-year-old Zaglebie Lubin man was courted by the French club in the winter and, with his deal set to expire in Poland this summer, Lens are poised to complete a deal on a free transfer, plus €400k in compensation.

Poreba’s arrival is expected to compensate for the retirement of veteran central midfielder Yannick Cahuzac at the end of the season. A Polish under 21 international, Poreba has played 88 league games over the last four seasons for Lubin.

Georginio Wijnaldum is “seriously reflecting” on his PSG future

Worried about his spot in the Netherlands squad for the upcoming World Cup, Georginio Wijnaldum (31) is seriously considering his future at PSG, according to Goal.

Wijnaldum has not been called up for the latest round of Netherlands fixtures after a difficult year at PSG, and is, therefore “seriously thinking about his future as he wants to regain his place in the national side.”  

Someone closely involved in the case has said, “Everything remains open and no decision has been taken. The next step will be to know who the coach will be.” 

Wijnaldum played 31 matches in Ligue 1 last season, scoring just once and registering 3 assists.

Ibrahim Sissoko expected to join Angers

As reported by Le10Sport, Angers are in the process of signing Niort striker Ibrahim Sissoko after a standout season in Ligue 2, scoring 15 goals.

The 26-year-old’s contract is up at the end of the month and is seeing considerable Ligue 1 interest as a result, with Mohamed Toubache-Ter reporting that both Montpellier and Strasbourg are also keen on the player.

However, it’s Angers who lead the race to sign the Malian international forward and, although nothing has been signed as yet, Gérald Baticle’s side are expected to secure the player’s services this summer.

This would be Sissoko’s first spell in Ligue 1 after scoring 25 second-tier goals in 49 games over the last two seasons for mid-table Niort.

Rayan Cherki yet to respond to Lyon contract proposal

Foot01 are reporting that Lyon’s attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki (18) is yet to respond to the club’s latest contract renewal offer, with his current deal set to run out next summer. 

Whilst the club are willing to part with Houssem Aouar (23) and Moussa Dembele (25), who could draw a hefty sum from some Premier League admirers, they do not wish to lose Cherki. 

The attacking midfielder has been absent from the first-team picture since sustaining a foot injury back in February. However, the club considers him to be an “important element for the future of the club and for the new project based upon Lyonnais DNA.” 

Discussions around a new deal began following the injury sustained in February, but Lyon have yet to hear back from Cherki and his representatives. Foot01 state that his silence could be a sign that he doubts his future at a club where he thus far struggled for game time. 

OGC Nice have previously been linked with a move for the France U21 international.

William Saliba: “It’s as if I’ve been at Marseille for at least two or three years.”

During his interview with TF1, William Saliba (21) reflected on his time on loan at Marseille, stating that it was if he had been there for “at least two or three years.”

Whilst Saliba confirmed that he would be returning to parent club Arsenal, he also spoke glowingly about his time with Marseille. “It’s as if I’ve been at Marseille for at least two or three years. It’s really special, even if I don’t return to Marseille, I’ll never forget it.”

He continued, “Thanks to Marseille, I reached the next level in my career; they lifted me.” He will now take that experience back to Arsenal, where he will be returning for pre-season. 

Lyon are working on re-signing Shakhtar Donetsk winger Tetê despite €25m asking price

As reported by L’Équipe, Lyon are planning on keeping hold of Brazilian forward Tetê for next season after some good outings for OL since his late loan move from Shakhtar Donetsk this term, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Despite having failed to make European football for next season, Lyon are looking to sign another winger to bolster their attack and, despite the impending return from injury of teenage prospect Rayan Cherki – who could also soon extend his deal, which ends in 2023, Tetê is a leading option for Peter Bosz.

However, Lyon are not prepared to overpay for the player with Donetsk asking for €25m to sign the 22-year-old forward who managed two goals and five assists in nine Ligue 1 games after nine goals in 17 league games for Donetsek before the Ukrainian league was suspended due to the war. Overall, his 39 games in all competitions brought 12 goals and seven assists.

That price could see OL turn to other options, which will likely have to be financed by other sales after the return of Alexandre Lacazette earlier this week.
