Rennes set to accept Bayern Munich’s €30m Mathys Tel offer

Posted on April 3, 2023April 3, 2023 by mobanmarket

Foot Mercato are reporting that Rennes are ready to accept Bayern Munich’s €30m offer for striker Mathys Tel (17), whilst the Breton club are already actively searching for a replacement.

Tel made only 10 appearances for Rennes last season, but his appearances for the club, as well as his five goals in six appearances for the France U18 side have caught the attention of the German champions. Having already refused two offers from Bayern Munich, Rennes are ready to accept the third.

Some “final details” still need to be sorted before the deal is officialised, but according to Foot Mercato, Tel has already cleared his locker at Rennes.

To replace Tel, Rennes have lined-up Caen forward Norman Bassette (17). However, Rennes will face European-wide competition for his signature. Frankfurt, Torino and Lens are all interested in the player, who has only made one first-team appearance for the Ligue 2 club. He did, however, score five goals in five games in the Gambardella Cup.

Gasly relieved: No further action on clash with Ocon

Posted on April 3, 2023April 3, 2023 by mobanmarket

The Australian Grand Prix stewards have taken no further action on the late race incident involving Alpine drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly.

The pair came together shortly after the race’s second restart when pandemonium ensued in the field.

Gasly had been forced to run wide onto the grass at the first corner to avoid hitting Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin. But when he came back onto the track he drifted right into the path of his teammate’s car.

The contact sent both cars into the outside wall and into retirement.

The stewards put the run-in under investigation, but it was a delicate case for Gasly who is just two points shy of a race ban on his F1 superlicence.

But the Frenchman was ultimately spared any further drama as the officials opted to take no further action.

“The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 10 (Pierre Gasly), the driver of Car 31 (Esteban Ocon), a team representative and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence and determined that it was a first lap racing incident,” read a statement from the Stewards.

“Both cars recognised and accepted this as such. In the circumstances, we took no further action.”

Ocon ws quick to absolve his teammate of any wrongdoing, but was critical of the driving standards of several of his rivals on the restart, calling their behaviour “a bit suicidal”.

United Rugby Championship: Lionel Mapoe keen to get stuck into Sharks’ Springbok centres

Posted on April 2, 2023April 2, 2023 by mobanmarket

Bulls outside centre Lionel Mapoe is relishing going up against the Sharks’ midfield duo of Lukhanyo Am and Rohan Janse van Rensburg when the teams meet in Saturday’s United Rugby Championship (URC) encounter in Durban.

Am and Janse van Rensburg combined brilliantly when the Sharks cruised a 37-10 victory over the Lions in Johannesburg last weekend, and Mapoe expects a tough duel against his fellow Springboks.

World class opponents

“They pose a different challenge, and I’m looking forward to playing against them. They’re some of the best centres in the world,” he said.

“We know that they are going to be physical and that they can also play with a bit of flair. There are both of those aspects, and it’s going to be tough.

“We thought the Stormers was going to be tough, but this weekend in a sense, is going to be even more physical.”

The reference to the Stormers comes after the Bulls suffered a 37-27 defeat to their arch-rivals in Cape Town last Friday.

The build-up to that match was dominated by the Pretoria-based outfit’s director of rugby Jake White‘s decision to rest his first-choice players for two Champions Cup matches against Lyon and Exeter Chiefs.

Mapoe, who was amongst those rested players, said the Bulls players supported White’s selection rotation policy.

“It worked really well for me because you get the rest you need, and it’s still a long competition,” he said.

“They’re trying to manage us to get the best out for the team, and we are buying into the coach’s plan.”

In the defeat to the Stormers, the Bulls conceded three tries in five minutes, and Mapoe said they worked hard to ensure that such lapses in concentration do not happen again.

“We went in with a plan last week that didn’t work. We let ourselves down and the fans down,” he said.

“We first have to fix ourselves and come out onto the field and go through it again with all our training.

“It’s not like we went out there on Saturday to just switch off in that period of the game where they scored three tries.

Should not have happened

“We have looked at the video, and it’s something we can manage. That shouldn’t have happened.

“It’s on ourselves to be better than what we were and not have that lapse of concentration.”

Nice are interested in French midfielder Alexis Beka Beka

Posted on April 2, 2023April 2, 2023 by mobanmarket

According to L’Équipe, OGC Nice are interested in French midfielder Alexis Beka Beka (21), who currently plays his football for Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow, following a €6m move from second-tier Caen last summer.

Following an impressive 2020/21 campaign with the Norman side, Beka Beka piqued the interest of a number of clubs, with Nice being closely linked with the player this time last year. This year’s preliminary discussions between the two parties have reportedly already been conducted, however Les Aiglons are yet to make an offer for the young Frenchman, despite being one of Lucien Favre’s priorities

While the 21-year-old featured prominently for the Russian side last season, making 19 appearances and registering four assists, it is unknown whether Lokomotiv would be open to letting Beka Beka go. The midfielder, who featured in France’s disappointing Olympic campaign in Japan last summer, has already played in both of the opening matches of the new Russian season, but will be temporarily suspended following his red card this weekend.

20 Minutes report that Ligue 1 side Nantes continue advanced negotiations with Bordeaux to sign Korean international attacker Hwang Ui-Jo following Les Girondins being maintained in the French 2nd division.

Les Canaris’ boss, Antoine Kombouaré, has made Hwang his absolute summer transfer window priority. The two presidents, Gérard Lopez and Waldemar Kita, have an agreement in principle over a €5m transfer, but the deal has not yet been closed.

The player is having contract talks with the player, but Bordeaux also have proposals from 2 MLS clubs which are worth a little more than the €5m agreed in principle with Nantes for an eventual transfer.

Les Girondins are hoping to leverage these proposals from the United States to get Nantes to increase their proposal for €6m.

Following the decision by the FFF to maintain Bordeaux in Ligue 2, overturning the DNCG decision to relegate them for financial irregularities to the French 3rd division, Les Girondins now need to make a number of player sales.

Russell ready to fight: ‘We’ve got to go for the win!’

Posted on April 2, 2023April 2, 2023 by mobanmarket

George Russell says Mercedes should go all-in at the start of Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix and take the challenge to poleman Max Verstappen after the team’s upbeat performance in qualifying.

Thanks to a well-executed Saturday afternoon session in Melbourne, Russell will line up alongside Verstappen on Sunday’s grid with his teammate Lewis Hamilton just behind in third position.

Russell ended up just 0.236s adrift from Verstappen in the Q3 shootout, the smallest margin so far this season between Red Bull and Mercedes, and a gap that should encourage the Brackley squad to pull out the stop from the outset.

“We’ve got to go for it, haven’t we?” Russell said in Saturday’s post-qualifying press conference in Melbourne. “We’ve got to go for the win.

“Max is going to be extremely fast, there’s no hiding that. I think it’s difficult to overtake around this circuit, so the start, lap one, is going to be vital.

“But the Red Bull has extraordinary top speed, so it’s going to be very difficult to fight with Max.

“But, let’s see how we get on. We’ve got to do our race. But if the opportunity is there, we’ll go for it.”

Due to Friday’s disrupted sessions, Mercedes was unable to really gauge its race pace, so it’s unclear if Russell and Hamilton will be able to hook on to and battle Verstappen’s dominant RB19 early on.

But with Sergio Perez starting last as the result of his dismal qualifying session, Russell says Mercedes will at least have the advantage of the numbers at the start.

“I haven’t even done a long run,” he said. “So, tomorrow, going into the race will be the first time I do so. And I’ve not seen where we tally up compared to them.

“But we have to expect they’re going to be 0.25s-0.5s, at least quicker than us. But, maybe in the tow we can just about hold on.

“Maybe the fact there’s two of us and only one Red Bull, maybe with strategy we can apply some pressure to them. So, we’ll see.”

Melbourne Speed Trap: Who is the fastest of them all?

Posted on April 2, 2023April 2, 2023 by mobanmarket

Set inside Albert Park’s lush greenery, Melbourne’s 5.275km rapid layout has the feel of a natural road course, yet the track still very much retains the urban vibes and defining characteristics associated with a classic street circuit.

Albert Park features several fast sweeps rather than genuine straights, but maximum velocities as measured by the speed trap located at the end of the track’s pit straight are still quite healthy.

And if there is a circuit that requires the best of both worlds – that is good top speed and substantial downforce and grip levels through the sweeping Turn 9-10 changes of direction – Albert Park is it.

Cue Red Bull’s blindingly fast and highly efficient RB19 package, as mastered by one Max Verstappen who was quickest in qualifying and fastest down the main straight in the session, with a speed of 328,9 kph.

Once again, Williams demonstrated the strong straight-line speed of its FW45, with Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant clocking in just a few kph slower than Max.

However, the contest between Red Bull and Mercedes is genuine in Melbourne this weekend, with the Brackley squad’s W14 conceding a little over 4 kph down the straight to its rival but very much holding its own through several key corners of the lap according to GPS data.

But can the Mercedes boys really give Verstappen a run for his money over the duration of the race, as George Russell has suggested? Logic would incite us to say no, but throw in the odd safety car or bold strategy, and we may be talking a major upset.

Finally, speaking of a shocking upset, one can’t dismiss an intervention during Sunday’s proceedings of the devil himself, Fernando Alonso.

The Spaniard’s Aston Martin AMR23 – due to its draggy profile – was no match for its main rivals through the speed trap, but the sheer downforce of Alonso’s green monster makes it a beast through the corners, and a force to be reckoned with in an action-packed race.

Thomas Meunier: “Neymar lost his magic at PSG.”

Dortmund’s former PSG defender Thomas Meunier (30) has said that former team-mate Neymar (30) “lost his magic” in Paris.

In an interview with Kicker, transcribed in Le Parisien, he said, “I have to admit that I was a big fan of Neymar when he was at Barcelona. The remontada in the Champions League quarter-final (Barcelona 6-1 PSG) was completely him. If I was ten years old, I would have had a poster of him in my bedroom. From my point of view, in Paris, he lost his magic.”

The Belgian right-back was Neymar’s teammate for four years at the Parc des Princes. Despite achieving domestic success in that time, they of course didn’t secure that all-elusive Champions League trophy.

The Red Devil also opened up about the difficult few months before his departure to Dortmund in 2020. “At Paris, I was sidelined by Leonardo, the sporting director at the time, because I didn’t want to extend my contract. Everything happened without me, up to the Champions League final, even if I deserved to be there. In private, it wasn’t easy for me either, and nor was it easy for me to leave Paris. My wife, my children and myself all loved the city. It was difficult to leave. I play football because I like football, but when I arrived at Dortmund in 2020, I had experienced some difficult months,” said Meunier.

According to Foot Mercato, former Tottenham Hotspur winger Clinton Njie (28), who has recently become a free agent since ending his contract with Russian club Dinamo Moscow early, has reportedly piqued the interest of two Ligue 1 clubs, as well as outfits based in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The Cameroonian winger, who reached the 2017/18 Europa League final with Marseille, offers great experience in the French top flight, having scored 21 and assisted 14 in 98 appearances with both OM and Lyon. While his time in the Premier League, following his €14m transfer to Spurs, was ostensibly more of a challenge, the Africa Cup of Nations winner could still be a valuable acquisition.

The two Ligue 1 clubs, whose names have not yet been revealed, are reportedly already in contact with the player’s entourage, while equally unknown Qatari and Saudi Arabian clubs have joined the race to sign the forward.
