Mikautadze, Osimhen at United, Liverpool retains Alexander-Arnold, Samba towards Rennes: 12 transfer information for Sunday

This is a sign which proves that OL care about their striker Georges Mikautadze. According to Téléfoot journalist Saber Desfarges, the Lyon club refused an offer of 21 million euros (with bonus) from Galatasaray. Backing Alexandre Lacazette this season, the Georgian international who arrived from Metz this summer, has made known his desire to stay in Lyon this winter.

• Our opinion : In the event of an even higher offer from the Turks, not sure that the Lyon club, in a difficult financial situation, will be able to resist for long.

• Our opinion : a significant reinforcement for United, only 14th in the Premier League.

Strongly courted for several weeks by Real Madrid, Trent Alexander-Arnold could join the Merengue free this summer. But according to the Mirror, the Reds would ultimately be ready to break the bank to keep their right side. They would have offered him a new contract of 78 million pounds (or approximately 94 million euros) over 5 years, which would be equivalent to the salary offer from Real where he could however receive a large signing bonus.

• Our opinion : the ball is now in the hands of the player who will have to choose between loyalty and a new challenge.

This is one of the issues that is driving the start of the winter transfer window in France. Will Brice Samba take charge of Rennes? If his transfer seemed complete, a reversal of the situation had taken place and the Lensois leaders wanted to block the transfer of their goalkeeper. This Sunday, Pierre Dréossi, general director of RC Lens, affirmed that “the negotiations were not stopped but a little tense“. “For the moment, we are still in negotiations. This has been going on for ten days but, for the moment, there is no agreement” explained Dréossi on the microphone of DAZN, while explaining that the northern club had already anticipated his departure since the recruitment of a goalkeeper is close to being completed.

• Our opinion : Samba's departure for Rennes seems inevitable.

On the sidelines of the match between Lens and Toulouse, Pierre Dréossi also confirmed the departure of Abdukodir Khusanov this winter. The Uzbek central defender, courted by several big clubs, was given an exit voucher. “If he has to leave and if the offers are interesting, it is above all to try to find an economic balance. I hope that with its sale we will return to a level which corresponds more to that of RC Lens but without less ambitious ambition” explained the general director of RC Lens. The 20-year-old defender is of particular interest to PSG and several English clubs.

• Our opinion : If Lens loses Khusanov, Samba and Danso, its entire defensive sector will have to be rebuilt during the season.

• Our opinion : Dani Olmo can't afford not to play until the end of the season. Milan could be an interesting option.

The 21-year-old Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was officially presented this Sunday by Tottenham. Coming from Slavia Prague, he signed a long-term contract with Spurs until 2031 for 15 million euros.

• Our opinion : It was urgent for the London club to recruit a new goalkeeper given the recent worrying performances of Fraser Forster and the absence of Vicario.

What if Randal Kolo-Muani ultimately stayed in Ligue 1? According to Téléfoot, AS Monaco would have come to PSG for information regarding the recruitment of the French international this winter. The latter, who was placed on the transfer list by the capital club, should pack his bags by the end of the month. But probably not in the direction of Monaco. The Rocher club offered Paris a dry loan for RKM. Offer refused by PSG which favors a loan with purchase option or a transfer.

• Our opinion : Kolo-Muani should not have difficulty finding a new base.

According to our colleagues from L'Equipe, the Racing Club de Strasbourg will loan striker Milos Lukovic for six months to Heerenveen, currently eleventh in the Dutch championship. The 19-year-old Serbian had only played 11 minutes in Ligue 1 since the start of the season. Bought for 4.7 million euros excluding bonuses in Belgrade a year ago, he joined Alsace definitively last June.

• Our opinion: an opportunity for the striker to relaunch himself after his first complicated months in Ligue 1.

Bad news for the Gunners, still looking for offensive reinforcement with the injury to Bukayo Saka. Wolves player Matheus Cunha, who was in Arsenal's sights, would be on the verge of extending his contract with a significant salary increase according to the Daily Mail.

• Our opinion : the leaders of the Gunners will have to go back in search of the rare pearl.

If PSG waits to sell this winter to be able to recruit, neither Victor Osimhen nor Rayan Cherki should set down their suitcase in Paris in the coming weeks. According to Téléfoot, if an attacker will be sought by Paris in the event of the departure of Randal Kolo-Muani, it will not be one of the two players. The Parisian management closed the door to these two avenues which had been mentioned for a while last summer by the capital club.

• Our opinion : It's difficult to see clearly in PSG's strategy regarding the search for its future scorer.

While Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been courted for many months and in the sights of several clubs, starting with Paris Saint-Germain, the Georgian winger from Napoli should not move this winter, according to the media Team Talk. Injured in the knee for several weeks, the 23-year-old player is also of interest to Manchester United. For now, the player would give priority to a contract extension with Napoli. His current contract will end in June 2027.

• Our opinion : his knee injury is currently thwarting the Georgian's career plans.
