Keylor Navas is left without a contract. They didn’t expand it. The Parisians needed new reinforcement for Gianluigi Donnarumma and they found him in Krasnodar. The Championship was the first to report PSG’s interest in Matvey Safonov. Later, the information was confirmed by the world’s leading expert, Fabrizio Romano. According to him, in Paris they consider that the Russian has a lot of talent and the negotiations are in the final phase. He remains to clarify the final details before closing the deal.
The estimated amount of the transfer is 20 million euros. The goalkeeper himself initially joked about the possible transfer, but it seems that it will finally happen. “Motya is an excellent goalkeeper. I think he can fight Donnarumma”, his partner Stanislav Agkatsev blessed Safonov for the “Championship”. We support!

This is no longer a rumor, but the final results of the agent of both players, Vadim Shpinev, after the 30th round. “This is the last match between Miranchuk and Zhemaletdinov at Lokomotiv. Before the match, a proposal was made, a meeting was held with the management: the general and sports director. We listen to the club’s possibilities and transmit them to the players. With all due respect, but this is the situation. I am searching, as soon as there is information, you will find out everything,” Shpinev said according to SE. Interestingly, in April he made the following statement: “Rifat wants to stay at Lokomotiv.” We will communicate about the contract closer to the end of the season. Most likely, Zhemaletdinov will remain at the club. But if something happens, he will not be left without a team.”
There is no information yet about Zhemaletdinov’s new workplace. But it seems that Miranchuk will become Magomed Ozdoev’s teammate at PAOK. This was reported by journalist Ivan Karpov. If you believe his words, the player will earn 1.4 million euros per year and will immediately receive 1 million euros in bonuses. Shpinev, however, denies the information: “The information about PAOK is nonsense.” We are waiting for the official announcement.

Junior Alonso and Drkusic

The decision is made. The 31-year-old defender has already said goodbye to the Club: “Thank you for everything, Krasnodar,” Alonso wrote on his social network page. According to the Goal portal, Junior will return to Brazilian Atlético Mineiro for an approximate amount of 1.2 million euros. By the way, the former Army player Bruno Fuchs and the legendary former Zenit player Hulk play there, so the Paraguayan will have someone. with whom to discuss the Russian championship.
RB Sport reported that the Krasnodar team was searching in Sochi for a replacement for Junior, who had been relegated from the RPL. We are talking about the Slovenian Vanja Drkusic. “Drkusic is now an interesting player on the market. Of course, Krasnodar is a great club. But whether he will be able to be there is a question,” the footballer’s agent, Mladen Ratkovica, told the Championship. Vanya will decide the question of his career after Euro 2024. “To be honest, I don’t know what the situation will be. At the moment “I am completely focused on the next European Championship. I plan that after the tournament I will make a decision about the future. But in football you never know what will happen,” the Slovenian told Metaratings.
Alonso was brilliant in Russia:
Five heroes of the best season in the history of Krasnodar
Will they take Babich from Spartak?

The media sent the Spartak defender in two directions: to his homeland and to Saudi Arabia. Sportal wrote that the Serbian will return to Red Star. At the same time, he noted that negotiations have already been carried out successfully. It was also reported that Spartak has an offer from an unnamed club in Saudi Arabia. That’s the spread. Meridian Sport reassured Spartak fans: no one is going to let the leader of the red and white defense go.
The situation was resolved by Babich himself: “Of course I want to continue playing for Spartak.” I have a contract with the club,” he told SE. And this is logical: in Moscow everything goes well for the defender. Obviously he didn’t move to the RPL just for one season, but with the European giants there are no options: what’s the point of changing jobs?
Will Zenit accept two students from Krasnodar?
Volkov and Latyshonok

St. Petersburg has long been missing Russian greats in its lineup. But work is being done in this direction. The Telegram channel “Mutko Vs” gave an insider’s information: “Zenit” will soon sign Baltika goalkeeper Evgeniy Latyshonok. Despite Kaliningrad’s relegation from the RPL, the Krasnodar graduate showed himself very well, taking out a lot of “dead” balls. In addition, the contracts of Mikhail Kerzhakov and Alexander Vasyutin are ending.
The first will probably be expanded, and the second, according to SDZD, is in high demand: “Almost every six months, during the transfer period, some requests arrive from Scandinavia. We were also there this winter, but my representatives and I immediately said that now all the focus is on Zenit. I feel and believe that now is the right time to be here and prove my worth at Zenit. Additionally, RB Sport wrote about negotiations with Krasnodar right-back Sergei Volkov. The sale price is 5 million euros. Against the background of the constant injuries of Mario Fernandez and Vyacheslav Karavaev, the interest seems justified. Although Zenit also has Arsen Adamov, on loan from Orenburg.
Lately Zenit has not been doing well with transfers:
Zenit took over the RPL despite their transfers. The level of the best Russian team has dropped significantly
Will Spertsyan replace Reus at Borussia Dortmund?

Eduarda dreamed of joining Ajax last summer. And then, in April, the Amsterdam team was replaced by Borussia Dortmund by sporting director Sven Mislintat, who negotiated for Spertsyan. Marco Reus will also soon leave the team in a similar situation. Is the puzzle complete? Transfermarkt reported that the Champions League finalist is indeed considering buying the Armenian from Krasnodar. Metaratings added that this topic will be taken up again after the tournament final, which will be held on June 1.
“I wouldn’t want Matvey [Сафонов] o Edik left. I would like to see a team built around them. But I think that if they offer themselves, the club will treat them with respect. And if they want to leave, that will happen,” Krasnodar coach Murad Musaev said for the Championship. These words clearly did not come out of nowhere. Replacing Reus at Borussia would be an honor. And the “bulls” are not going to interfere with Spertsyan. He depends on the Germans.
Will two Portuguese players leave Barça? This was decided by the new Catalan coach

Xavi was eventually expelled from Barcelona. “We wanted to continue the work and we thought it was not finished. Oposite feelings. I think the result is good. I think we were on the right track, but that happens in football. The directors make the decision and they brought it to us. We won two trophies in a very difficult situation. Of course, I wish nothing but the best for Barcelona. The reaction of the players gives me goosebumps. Everything I did caused earthquakes, I became a target and could not work in peace. We asked for stability a month ago and we wanted to work. We just have to accept it,” the coach responded sadly.
Hans-Dieter Flick, known for his work at Bayern Munich and the German national team, will become the new helmsman of the Catalans. He has two victories in the Bundesliga and one in the Champions League. Plus that same match at the Camp Nou with the legendary 8-2 win by the blue garnets. The specialist already understands transfers. For example, according to Diario Sport rumors, he does not have Joao Félix and his namesake Cancelo. It looks like his leases will end with a farewell rather than a buyout or extension. However, in any case it would be difficult to register full Portuguese players due to the club’s financial problems.
And why was Javi fired in the first place?
Xavi showed Barcelona’s main illness. Dismissing him is madness and shame.
Ben Yedder said goodbye to Monaco. Will he be replaced by a Georgian?

Five years, 201 games and many goals (118 exactly): this is the legacy that Wissam left in the Principality. He will be a free agent on June 30. Fabrizio Romano was the first to talk about this and then the Monegasques officially announced it. There is interest in the goalscoring forward in Saudi Arabia (where would we be without him?), but he is unlikely to go very far. Le10sport.com, for example, sends it to Marseille. There he plays Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and a great duo is forming.
As for Ben Yedder’s replacement, Monaco, according to RMC Sport, has set its sights on Georgian coach Georges Mikautadze, 23, from Metz, who scored 13 goals in 20 games last season. By the way, for the outsider of League 1. Negotiations have already begun. The forward belongs to Ajax and is on loan with an option to buy. Metz will activate the buyback option and immediately sell Georges to the Monegasques.
PSG is ready to replace Mbappé and has set its sights on Khvicha

Mbappé played his last game with the Parisians, won the French Cup and is preparing to move to Madrid. Of course, he needs a suitable substitute. Apparently, it will be about the purchase of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. L’Équipe journalist Loic Tanzi learned that PSG has started negotiations and is willing to offer Napoli 60 million euros. An amount that doesn’t seem impressive for such a great player, even though he had an average season. Especially compared to last year. And he has a contract until the summer of 2027. If the information is true, you will clearly have to increase the price.
La Gazzetta dello Sport, by the way, wrote about an offer of 100 million euros. This is more like the truth. Safonov, Khvicha: If both move to Paris, PSG will have a noticeable increase in Russian-speaking fans. Yuri Semin, who coached Kvaratskhelia at Loko, already anticipates the Georgian’s success in his new position: “Today his level is higher than that of PSG.” He will be the best player on this team,” he told SE. Quite optimistic.
Kompany will coach Bayern

It’s as if we live in a parallel universe. The Munich team was rejected by Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Unai Emery, Hans-Dieter Flick and others – there were few people willing to raise Bayern. When else has this happened? But Vincent Kompany, who lost in the Championship with Burnley, agreed. Furthermore, for the transfer of the Belgian, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, he will have to pay between 10 and 15 million euros. Negotiations are ongoing and are nearing completion. The contract will be issued until 2027. It would be nice to finalize it, remembering the change of coaches in Munich.
Given the weak performances of Kim and Yupamecano, Kompany could move as a player. But he’s already backing away from the edge. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for him: so far it seems that Vincent, 38, has not yet risen to such a serious challenge. As reported by Sky Sports Deutschland, Bayern sporting director Max Eberl insisted on inviting the Belgian. There is a lot at stake and it is not at all certain that they will play.
The choice is really surprising:
Bayern were very surprised by the choice of coach! Munich followed the City legend
