Kylian Mbappe tells Paris Saint-Germain he WON’T RENEW his contract

Kylian Mbappe has reportedly informed Paris Saint-Germain that he will not renew his contract at the club when it expires next season. The Frenchman is one of the most crucial figures at Parc des Princes and is seen as the face of the club now that Lionel Messi has left. But he has sparked a transfer saga with his latest move, informing the club that he does not want to trigger the one-year extension in his current deal. According to a report by Sportsmail, the 24-year-old forward informed PSG of his decision to leave next season via a letter.  Read more: Antonio Rudiger will be HAPPY to play with Kai Havertz at Real Madrid  According to the report, Mbappe could have waited till July 31st to tell PSG about his plans. But given that he is unhappy with the direction the club is going, he made his decision known earlier than expected. His decision has now put PSG in a difficult position, as they must sell him this season to avoid losing him for free next year. The French giants had been willing to give him greater incentives to stay on a long-term deal, with the club planning to make him the face of their new project, which will heavily feature more France internationals. However, this move has come as a surprise and will leave them little option but to sanction a sale, with his long-time suitor Real Madrid is expected to be at the head of the queue. The Spanish giants want a replacement for Karim Benzema, who left for Saudi Arabia. But they know that PSG would demand a world record fee for Mbappe, and that might prove difficult as Los Blancos have already committed £88m of their budget to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund.

Bernardo Silva informs Manchester City he wants to leave the club

Manchester City star midfielder Bernardo Silva has reportedly told Pep Guardiola that he wants to leave this summer. The Portuguese international is one of Guardiola’s most trusted players and was instrumental in the Cityzens’ run to a historic treble this season. However, according to reports by 90min, he has had enough at the Etihad Stadium and wants a new challenge next season. Read more: Liverpool AGREE personal terms with OGC Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram The 28-year-old’s contract with City runs until 2025, but he’s keen to walk away two years earlier than agreed, having won several trophies in England. The 1-0 win over Inter Milan last Saturday in the Champions League final was Silva’s 14th trophy at Man City. He moved to the Etihad in May 2017 for a £60milliion (including performance add-ons) deal. But despite City’s continued success over the past six years, the Portuguese international’s future at the club has become increasingly uncertain. Last year he was wanted by Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, and he told the club of his intention to leave. But City, and Guardiola in particular, was not interested in selling him.  However, that has not stopped Barca and PSG from coming back for him. The Catalan side has made Silva one of their priority transfer targets this summer, especially as they have missed out on signing Lionel Messi. PSG also see him as a perfect replacement for Messi, who left the club for Inter Miami this past week.

Antonio Rudiger will be HAPPY to play with Kai Havertz at Real Madrid 

Former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has stated that he will gladly welcome Real Madrid target Kai Havertz to the club. Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Harvetz as a replacement for Karim Benzema, who departed this summer for Al-Ittihad. Amidst the rumours, Rudiger, team-mates with Harvetz for the German national team and previously for Chelsea between 2020 and 2022, has declared he will be happy for his current side to sign the 24-year-old. Read more: Paris Saint-Germain JOIN Manchester United in the race for Victor Osimhen However, the defender stressed that he isn’t sure if the deal would fall through. In a press conference, Rudiger said, “It would make me happy to play with Havertz again at club level.” “Unfortunately, I cannot say a lot about it in terms of transfers. My opinion is secondary. They’re club decisions.” Real Madrid aren’t the only club monitoring Harvetz. Arsenal are also said to be considering the German. However, Real Madrid’s interest is said to be more concrete than that of the Gunners. Chelsea wants £70 million for Havertz but may have to reduce their asking price by £20million to ensure that a deal can be struck. The German striker scored seven goals in 35 league appearances for the Blues as he was often deployed up front for the troubled Blues.

Arsenal ‘OPEN talks with Leicester to sign defender Timothy Castagne

Arsenal have reportedly begun talks with Leicester City to sign defender Timothy Castagne. According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri via Sportsmail, the Gunners will target the Belgian if they miss out on first-choice target Ivan Fresneda, who Borussia Dortmund also wants. Mikel Arteta’s side are looking for an extra right-back and have identified the Real Valladolid defender as top of the list. But Borussia Dortmund’s interest in his services has pushed them towards signing Castagne, who could also come cheaper. Read more: Inter Milan REJECT a £40m offer from Chelsea for goalkeeper Andre Onana Leicester City want to sell some of their players following their relegation from the top flight, and Castagne could be amongst the players to leave the King Power Stadium this window. The Foxes value at about £ 24 million and will be willing to let him leave if Arsenal meets their valuation. Castagne made 37 league appearances for Leicester this season. The 27-year-old has played 112 times for the club since joining Atalanta in 2020. The Belgian is capped over 30 times for his country and can also play left-back if required, making him a valuable asset for any club that will sign him. Arsenal appears well-stocked in that area of the pitch, with Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu fighting for the right-back berth. At the same time, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney occupy the left-back position. But with Tomiyasu struggling last season and Tierney likely to leave this summer, and interest strong from Newcastle United, Arsenal are looking in the market for a strong cover.
