The winter transfer window is fast approaching and behind the scenes management is working hard to make the necessary adjustments. To ensure you don’t miss anything essential, Footnews takes stock every day.
Red Devils
* Breathing et Mangala can replenish the coffers of theOlympique Lyonnais.- Plagued by financial worries and a colossal debt, theOlympique Lyonnais will have to find funds quickly to avoid experiencing terrible disillusionment in a few months. Players will therefore inevitably have to be sold this winter, and others in summer. Which apparently primarily concerns the two Belgians from the French Ligue 1 club. Malick Fofana could in any case bring in a nice bundle of millions (theOL would like to sell him for a price between 15 and 25 million euros from the next transfer window) whileEvertonto which Orel Mangala is loaned without a purchase option, would have the opportunity to recruit him permanently at an attractive price in the summer.
In Jupiler Pro League
* An English U19 international on his way to Bruges? – The Belgian champions would be under the spell of the English striker Josh Duffusaged 19.
The young English U19 international (5 caps) plays in the second team of Brighton & Hove Albionhas scored five goals and provided two assists in eight Premier League 2 matches this season.
Under contract until 2026, its value is estimated at 500,000 euros.
L’Marseille Olympic, Valencethe RB Leipzig and many Premier League teams would also like to sign him.
Brighton would like to see the player, who has only made a brief appearance of two minutes in the first team so far, last season atAEK Athens (0-1) in the Europa League, try the experience elsewhere.
Negotiations are underway.
Abroad
* The ex-Red Devil and Adanaspor negotiate.- Jordan Lukaku (30 years old, 8 national team caps), wants to return to Belgium. Which involves a breach of contract with the Turkish clubAdanaspor. Negotiations are underway, according to the Gazette of Antwerp (https://tinyurl.com/yc4ayp46).
“Then we will advise,” said the former player of the KV Ostend (83 matches, 3 goals, 10 assists), where he flourished, before heading to Lazio de Rome (85 matches, 1 but, 8 assists).
What is certain is that after a little over a year, Romelu’s younger brother will leave the penultimate in the 1.Lig, the Turkish D2.
The latest adventure at the highest Belgian level Jordan Lukaku dates back to the 2020-2021 season, when he playedAntwerp (29 matches, 5 assists).
Over the last two years he has failed to establish himself or Vicence (9 matches), nor Ponferradine (8 matches), nor Adana (16 matches), due to injuries. He was also injured this summer, but says he is in good shape today…
* Alphonso Davies already agree with the Real Madrid ?- At the end of the contract next June, Alphonso Davies might not last forever Bayern
Mark (https://tinyurl.com/528prmf4) indeed affirms that the Canadian full-back has already reached an agreement with the Real Madrid to join the Merengues next summer, which his agent strongly denies.
A pre-agreement would even have been initialed on January 2, 2025, the date from which players at the end of their contract the following June can sign up with a new club.
Already announced close to joining the Spanish capital last summer, Davies could therefore make the trip this time.
The Spanish media, however, indicates that Manchester United and the Barça from his ex-coach Hansi Flick would also be in the running, and will also try to convince the 2020 European champion.
The Bayern Munich would also remain a possibility for him in the future, according to his agent.
“Alphonso has several options”, admits the latter. “But we have not reached agreements with other teams and those who claim the contrary are not true…”
* Luxembourg’s international community heads to Switzerland.- Mathias Olesenjoined Yverdon-Sport ninth in the Swiss Super League, reports The Daily (https://tinyurl.com/2k3vk7jc).
The Luxembourg international midfielder (22 years old, 18 caps, 1 goal) is in fact loaned until the end of the season by Colognehas Yverdon which is fighting for its maintenance.
Little used this season by Cologne (only 226 minutes spread over 7 appearances), where he has worn the first team jersey 26 times since his professional debut in March 2022, Mathias Olesenwill therefore become more experienced in Switzerland in the coming months.
Promoted to the elite of Swiss football, which they had not played since 2006, the Vert et Blanc – who had since fallen to the 4th Swiss division – today occupy 9th place (out of 12) in D1 after 18 days of the regular season (out of 33). A ranking synonymous with play-offs for maintenance at the end of the season.
