Official | Brest sign Pierre Lees-Melou from Norwich

Posted on April 6, 2023April 6, 2023 by mobanmarket

Brest have this morning announced the arrival of French midfielder Pierre Lees-Melou on a permanent deal from Norwich, for a transfer fee that regional paper Le Télégramme have reported as €2.3m.

The 29-year-old makes his return to Ligue 1 after just one year across the Channel, having appeared 33 times in the Premier League as his club were relegated back down to the Championship. In that time, he scored one goal.

The former Dijon and Nice man has put pen to paper on a three-year deal, which includes an extra optional season, as well as a 10% sell-on fee for the English club.

Lees-Melou has a total of 151 matches’ worth of experience in the top flight, and has scored 23 goals and set up another 18 in that time, having made the move from amateur football at the age of 22. He becomes the Breton side’s fourth signing of the summer after the arrivals of Noah Fadiga, Karamoko Dembélé and Mathias Pereira Lage.

Norris: Melbourne chaos caused by ‘terrible’ Pirelli tyres

Posted on April 6, 2023April 6, 2023 by mobanmarket

Lando Norris has taken aim at Pirelli’s tyres, insisting the soft compound used on the final restart of the Australian Grand Prix is not up to F1’s standards and was in large part responsible for the chaos that ensued.

In Melbourne, the stewards chose to relaunch the race after Kevin Magnussen’s brush with the wall with a third and final standing start.

With only a handful of laps remaining, drivers opted to restart on the soft tyre. But mayhem occurred at the first corner where Carlos Sainz tagged Fernando Alonso while behind, Nyck de Vries and Logan Sargeant veered off course into the gravel trap.

Further down the road at Turn 3, Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll also slid off the track, caught out by his cold tyres while both Alpine’s crashed into each other, which triggered the third red flag of the day.

After the race, Norris said the inefficiency of Pirelli’s soft rubber was to blame for the pandemonium.

“Nothing against them, but the people who make decisions don’t know what’s going on inside the car,” said the McLaren driver who finished sixth.

“We have a soft [tyre] on that’s 65 degrees [Centigrade] and I can’t describe how little grip there is on track.

“It’s not a bad temperature. But the tyre doesn’t work and on this surface with this tyre temperature, I can’t describe how bad the grip is.

“That’s why you see everyone going straight on in Turn 1 and locking up… it provides literally no grip, so you have to brake so early, which causes chaos and causes incidents.”

Ricciardo enjoyed ‘adrenaline spike’ on return to F1 paddock

Posted on April 6, 2023April 6, 2023 by mobanmarket

Daniel Ricciardo says his “adrenaline was spiking” last weekend in Melbourne as he immersed himself once again in the atmosphere of F1.

The Red Bull reserve driver, who remains massively popular with the fans, was back in the paddock for the first time this season, embedded with the Milton Keynes-based outfit.

And Ricciardo admitted feeling a buzz once again as he witnessed the action and browsed the timing screens.

“It’s going good. It’s been nice, the first couple of races I was just watching on the couch. But I was still very invested, live timing and all of that,” he said.

“But it’s nice to be here this weekend, get a little bit of it back. Even in the garage, I was starting to… yeah, adrenaline was spiking a little.

“I do miss it but I’m also happy with where I’m at currently.”

As a driver sitting on the sidelines, Ricciardo elaborated on his role with Red Bull over the race weekend.

“That’s the priority, to kind of run through the weekend as a driver, obviously without the driving part,” he explained.

“But still listen to the drivers through the meetings and get a feel for what the car is doing, where they are looking at to develop it.

“I think that will also help when I jump on the simulator to have a better understanding of what the team is looking for. It’s fun to be back in this team and this family. I’m very happy.”

L’Équipe report tonight that Bayern Munich have reached an agreement in principle with Rennes to sign young striker Mathys Tel, in what will be just short of a €30m deal, including bonuses. The 17-year-old will sign a five-year contract with the Bavarian club.

Bayern Munich will have ultimately been successful with their fourth offer to the Bretons, with the French youth international having been one of the Bundesliga side’s top priorities for this window, having been offered a place in the first-team squad.

Tel made just 7 appearances last year in Ligue 1, but has been considered one of the most promising forward talents in France. He also scored three goals in two French youth cup appearances this past campaign.

The Germans are said to consider him as technically and physically capable of leading the line in the future, and would offer him 20 games a season already, in rotation with Sadio Mané and Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting, following the departure of Robert Lewandowski for Bayern Munich.

Les Rouge et Noir had previously turned down an opening offer of €17m before also rejecting subsequent €22.5m and €25m bids.

Juventus need to sell before making Leandro Paredes move

Posted on April 5, 2023April 5, 2023 by mobanmarket

Goal are reporting that although Juventus’ interest in PSG midfielder Leandro Paredes (28) is genuine, the Italian club must first part ways with a few elements of their stacked midfield before making a move.

Argentinian midfielder Paredes has reportedly been reticent to a move in the past. However, that is no longer the case. He is aware of the need to move in order to ensure more playing time, especially ahead of the World Cup this winter, and he is willing to leave to Parce des Princes this summer in order to obtain it.

Juventus are a serious option and Paredes himself would be open to the move, according to Goal. However, there is a need for outgoings at the Bianconeri before any concrete move for Paredes can be made. Of their 10 midfield options, Juventus are looking to offload Aaron Ramsey and Arthur, whilst Adrien Rabiot’s departure is also a possibility. The French midfielder only has a year left on his contract and didn’t attend the club’s pre-season tour of Japan.

Paredes would cost Juventus for approximately €20m and is on the list of “undesirables” at PSG.

Stroll: Aston ‘lucked out’ in Melbourne but ‘we’ll take it’

Posted on April 5, 2023April 5, 2023 by mobanmarket

Lance Stroll scored in Australia his best result of the season with Aston Martin, but the good fortune from which he benefitted late in the race wasn’t lost on the Canadian.

Stroll was caught up in the commotion and chaos of the second restart and almost the fruits of an entire afternoon of good racing.

Stroll had spent the bulk of his race in sixth position, three spots behind teammate Fernando Alonso, and that looked like where he would conclude his trip to Australia.

However, an off by Haas’ Kevin Magnussen in the closing stages of the race triggered the second red flag of the day.

But on the restart it all went wrong for Team Silverstone, with Alonso punted out of third by Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari on the exit of the first corner while Stroll made a mess of his braking into Turn 3 and slid into the gravel trap.

However, a third red flag was brandished, courtesy of Alpine’s drivers coming together with fracas, and it saved Aston’s day, as the order for the final procession lap behind the safety car relied on the previous start, minus the cars that had been eliminated in the chaos.

Alonso was this reassigned to third while Stroll advanced to fifth on the road, thanks to Pierre Gasly’s demise, before he moved up to fourth in the final standings due to a 5-second penalty handed to Sainz.

“Yeah, I mean, it was a funny race. I think we got away with some stuff going wrong at the end,” admitted the Canadian.

“I had my big lock-up, and I was kind of running in third, and then I went off the track just with the tyres being super cold, and Fernando got hit and spun.

“Then you know, we lucked out with the timing of the red flags, so yeah… [we’ll] take it, some good points.”

Stroll admitted that waiting for race control to rule on the final restart positions was a tense affair.

“For sure. Tension, frustration… I didn’t know if I just threw away the podium kind of thing,” he said. “Yeah, anyways, [we’ll] take it.”

Hulkenberg suffered ‘code brown moment’ after Albon crash

Nico Hulkenberg enjoyed a remarkable run into the points in the Australian Grand Prix, but early on the Haas driver had a serious “code brown moment” when he arrived on the scene of Alex Albon’s crash.

Hulkenberg was running just behind Albon and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly in the opening stages of the race when the Williams driver lost it at Melbourne’s Turn 6 and hit the barrier on the left, his car rolling backwards onto the track and into the path of Gasly and Hulkenberg.

The Alpine and the Haas just narrowly avoided colliding with the stricken Williams, but it was a “nightmare scenario” according to the Hulk.

“Holy moly, I mean seriously I had a code brown in that moment,” said the Haas driver, quoted by Motorsport.com.

“That was seriously scary. I mean, thank God nothing happened. But this is a nightmare scenario. You’ve come around a blind corner in a street circuit.

“I mean, that was seriously scary and sketchy. That’s a bad example of a driver losing the car, crashing and coming back onto the track, and because there’s a gravel trap, there was dust, so you could not really see much.

“I think Pierre was in front of me, he was the first car, I was the second car, and no marshal in the world can react that fast.

“We didn’t have yellow flags, I just saw the cloud of dust and I saw gravel flying around, so I sort of didn’t take the ideal or normal racing line, I went a bit wider.

“I think I still didn’t miss him by much though, I immediately shouted on the radio that we need a safety car and that it was a dangerous situation.”

After the red flag commotion and restart, Hulkenberg settled in seventh place, leading Lando Norris for most of the afternoon until tyre graining on the Haas allowed the McLaren driver to overtake his rival in the closing stages of the race.

The second red flag of the day, triggered by Hulkenberg’s teammate Kevin Magnussen, brought a third standing start that was followed by more chaos on the track and a third red flag.

Hulkenberg had emerged fourth from the turmoil that eliminated both Alpine drivers, but race control ultimately opted to roll back the running order for the final lap behind the safety car to the previous standing start, which left the Hulk seventh in the final results.

“It was a crazy race, so many things happened, so many different scenarios,” he said. “Obviously at the red flag we got a free stop, it kind of played into our hands.

“Then I had a pretty lonely race just following the top guys, then defending to Lando I struggled a little bit with the tyres, I couldn’t defend my position unfortunately.

“I was kind of in control for P9 or maybe P10. And then the red flags came about again, and everything started to heat up again and to spiral a bit crazy.

“But good start practice for me, and they were all very good. The last one I actually came from P8 through to P4. I managed to stay clean and wasn’t involved in any incidents.

“So that was nice, but unfortunately they red-flagged it very soon after that, so we couldn’t bring that home.

“Nevertheless I think a lot of positives to take. We were competitive once again.”

Achraf Dari set to complete Brest move

Posted on April 4, 2023April 4, 2023 by mobanmarket

Moroccan international defender Achraf Dari (23) is set to complete his move from Wydad Casablanca this week, after the move was held up by administration linked to the player’s visa, according to L’Équipe.

Dari, who has two caps for the Moroccan national side is set to join the club on a four-year deal. An estimated €2.7m fee has been agreed between the clubs, and the deal would have been completed sooner if not for the visa process holding up the officialisation of the transfer.

Dari is now expected in Brittany next week in order to complete the signing, and he will be available in time for the club’s start to the Ligue 1 season.

Dari has come through the ranks at Wydad Casablanca and has since gone on to make 139 appearances for the side, scoring 11 goals. Should his transfer be confirmed in the coming days, he will become Brest’s fifth signing of the current transfer window.

Real Mallorca have contacted Léo Jardim (Lille)

Posted on April 4, 2023April 4, 2023 by mobanmarket

L’Équipe report that LaLiga outfit Real Mallorca have made contact with Portuguese goalkeeper Léo Jardim over a possible transfer from Lille during this summer transfer window. This follows news of them submitting an initial offer for Reims shot-stopper Predrag Rajković.

The 27-year-old joined Les Dogues in 2019 but has made just 16 appearances in Ligue 1, playing second fiddle initially to Mike Maignan. When the French international left last summer to move to AC Milan, Jardim expected to be given a chance as the starting goalkeeper, but LOSC instead signed Ivo Grbić from Atletico Madrid on loan.

The 26-year-old was a source of disappointment for Les Dogues, in a disappointing 2021/22 campaign that resulted in the club finishing in mid-table. Grbić was so poor that Jardim was given a chance in the league halfway through the season by Jocelyn Gourvennec.

Whilst initial talks between Jardim and Mallorca have occurred, the Spanish 1st division outfit have yet to make informal or formal contact with Lille.

LOSC’s new boss, Paulo Fonseca, stated in a recent press conference that he is not expecting Jardim to depart this summer, with the player under contract until June 2024.

Over 32,000 spectators expected for Lens vs Inter Milan

Ahead of RC Lens’ penultimate pre-season friendly tonight, in which the northern side will face Italian giants Inter Milan, L’Équipe report that the Stade Bollaert-Delelis is expecting a strong turnout, with over 32,000 spectators set to attend the warm-up game. As a result, Lens are just short of a sell-out, with their stadium capable of hosting 38,000.

Indeed, Lens have one of the best attendance records in the French top flight since their return two seasons ago. Last season, they maintained the fifth highest attendance in the league, behind Marseille, PSG, Lyon and Lille. Furthermore, they now boast the fifth biggest stadium in the league, following the relegation of Bordeaux and Saint-Étienne last season.

Manager Franck Haise was particularly pleased with the news: “It’s so amazing to be able to welcome 32,000 people and to experience that. To host Inter Milan shows that we are an attractive side, in terms of our style of play, our league position and our environment. Inter would not have come before. It’s exceptional for the club. It will allow the new recruits to test the water. We’ll be virtually a full house.”
