Paul Pogba makes a strong choice for his club, Real Madrid wants Lacazette and perhaps lend Endrick, OL have several players to sell to save themselves: this is the transfer window news for November 20, 2024.
Real Madrid would consider recruiting Alexandre Lacazette, 33-year-old striker from Olympique Lyonnais, from the January transfer window. Due to Lyon's major financial difficulties and potential relegation to Ligue 2, the Madrid club could take advantage of the opportunity to offer 5 million euros. Lacazette, whose contract expires in June 2025, has scored 58 goals in 88 games since returning to Lyon. This transfer would allow Real Madrid to strengthen their attack with an experienced number 9, a profile they are lacking this season. The arrival of Lacazette could also relegate the young Endrick, in search of playing time, to a loan in January. If this transaction goes through, it would mark a strategic move for Real Madrid, in search of success in La Liga and in Europe.
Endrick heading to the Premier League?
Real Madrid is tense. Very tense. The Mbappé case is tense, but not only that. Disappointing results and a series of injuries have affected key players, such as Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Rodrygo, Éder Militão and Lucas Vazquez. In addition to this, Carlo Ancelotti faces criticism for his lack of opportunities given to young players, notably Endrick, who arrived at Real with the status of a quasi-star. A few weeks later, it's a grimace. President Florentino Pérez is annoyed by the underutilization of the Brazilian striker, who has only played 122 minutes this season, despite his potential. Faced with this situation, Endrick is considering a loan to gain playing time and could leave in January. According to the Daily Mail, Southampton, the promoted Premier League, are interested in his services. Other clubs like Real Valladolid and AS Roma are also mentioned among the suitors for a loan.
Paul Pogba wants his revenge. The player, free from any contract, has the ambition to return to the French team and compete in the 2026 World Cup. For this, the 31-year-old midfielder favors a European club in one of the five major championships to relaunch his career. Despite lucrative offers from the United States and Saudi Arabia, Pogba is eyeing a project that can support his goal of becoming a mainstay of the Blues again. Didier Deschamps, in regular contact with Pogba, is closely monitoring his situation. The French coach has not found a replacement for his leadership and technical mastery in the midfield since his absence. If Pogba manages to return to a good level at club level, he has a real chance of making a return to the national team thanks to his experience and unique qualities, thus strengthening his hopes of a significant comeback in 2026.
Guardiola stays, Jobe after Jude
Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, it's a story that continues to be written. At the end of his contract in June 2025, the Spanish technician has reached an agreement with the Mancunian leaders to extend his lease until June 2026, with an optional additional year, according to information from Sam Lee, journalist from *The Athletic *.
Despite the announced departure of sporting director Txiki Begiristain, Guardiola remains fully committed to the Skyblues project. Arriving in 2016, the former FC Barcelona coach built an impressive track record with City: 6 Premier League titles, 2 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, and a valuable Champions League. This extension confirms its ambition to continue to write the history of the English club at the top of European football.
Will Jude see Jobe arrive? Promising 19-year-old Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham is attracting the attention of many big clubs, including Borussia Dortmund. Florian Plettenberg, journalist for Sky Germany, confirmed the German club's interest in the young English talent. However, Dortmund are not planning to take action immediately. The club prefers to closely monitor the player's development before considering a possible offensive. Under contract with Sunderland until 2028, Bellingham saw his value estimated at 25 million euros by the Black Cats. In addition, he is attracting interest from several major teams in the Premier League, which could complicate any future negotiations for the BvB.
