PSG have faced a problem in the negotiations for Kolo Muani
Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani has already agreed a five-year deal with PSG. At least that’s what the press says. It only remains to agree with Eintracht. And so far there is no movement here. The Parisians made the first offer to transfer the 2022 World Cup silver medalist. The offer is solid: 65 million euros, but Eintracht immediately refused. This is not the first time that PSG has not accepted the terms. For example, Kylian Mbappé refused to renew his contract this summer. By the way, Kolo Muani entered the field in the match against Darmstadt (1:0) and scored the winning goal.
Team USA player returns to Premier League
Midfielder Tyler Adams could have joined Chelsea a few days ago. According to some reports, the American even showed up for a physical, but the bosses of the London club changed their minds. Because? They focused on acquiring Moisés Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. Adams has returned to Leeds, who are in the Championship this season. However, he did not stay there for long; a few days later Bournemouth bought it. The Premier League participant did not regret the 26.9 million euros for the player of the US national team.

Galatasaray sign Ziyech on loan from Chelsea
Ziyech found himself in a similar situation to Adams. Some time ago, the Moroccan went to Saudi Arabia, but he did not pass the medical examination. Al-Nasr’s doctors discovered that the player had knee problems. But in Türkiye, Ziyech did not have any difficulties. He passed the medical examination, signed a contract. Under the terms of the deal, Galatasaray loaned out the Chelsea player until the end of the season. At the same time, the Turkish club has the right to buy at the end of the lease term.

The Barcelona returns to yield to Dest
In 2020, Barcelona paid Ajax 21 million euros for Sergino Desta. Since then, the defender has played 72 games with the Catalan club’s shirt, but he never became part of his team. Last season, Dest ran in Milan (14 games), and will soon return to the Netherlands. But not to Ajax, but to another great club in the country: PSV. The Eindhoven club rents the American until the end of the season with a purchase option later. By the way, PSV, unlike Ajax, plays in the Champions League, but so far only in the qualifying phase.
How Barcelona played the preview of the LaLiga match:

Xabi Alonso has welcomed a Bayern defender
Stanisic ended up in the Bayern system in 2017. Six years later, he decided to move on. True, he does it on loan. The Croatian will spend next season at Bayer Leverkusen, where he is now managed by Spanish coach Xabi Alonso. By the age of 23, Josip had made 41 appearances for Bayern’s first team (23 last season). Following the transfer, Bayer sporting director Simon Rolfes highlighted the boy’s ability to play with both feet and the ability to close out various positions in defence.

Ajax reinforced the defense with the 2022 World Cup bronze medalist
The three-time Croatian champion will leave for the first time in his career to play in another league. Defender Josip Šutalo, 23, accepted Ajax’s offer, while Dinamo Zagreb will receive 20.5 million euros. Everyone seems to be happy with this situation. This season, Shutalo has already played seven games in all competitions and scored one goal. Officially, his transfer was announced after the Croatian club failed to qualify for the Champions League. By the way, Ajax will not play in the most prestigious club tournament in Europe either. The team did not enter the Champions League zone at the end of last season. Late last year, Shutalo became the World Cup bronze medalist, even though he played only one match at the tournament.
Lens bought the striker for 30 million euros
Lens did not spare a decent amount (30 million euros) for the acquisition of a central striker. 20-year-old Elie Vai has signed a long-term contract, and more specifically, until 2028. Last season, the boy scored good statistics in Montpellier: 19 goals in 33 French championship games. Lansu will soon start in the group stage of the Champions League, and the team spent 60 million euros on the newcomers. It is true that they lost the goalscorer Lua Openda, who went to RB Leipzig. Apparently, it is Vai who is called to replace the deceased striker.

Laporte will replace Manchester City with Saudi Arabia
Manchester City have quite a large number of central defenders. Now there will be one less. Aymeric Laporte will soon sign a contract with Al-Nasr, where Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane play. According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Man City will receive approximately 30 million euros and the player will sign a contract for the summer of 2026. Laporte has already agreed on a salary that will be approximately $20 million per season. We are waiting for official confirmation.
How Laporte won his last trophy with City:

The world champion will join the squad of the foreigner of the Premier League
At the end of last year, the Sevilla defender Gonzalo Montiel was proclaimed world champion. At the end of the season, the Argentine, together with the club, achieved success in the Europa League. And now he’s moving to the Premier League, but as part of an outside club. Romano claims that Nottingham Forest have agreed a €12m transfer fee for the player. Montiel will undergo a medical examination on August 21, followed by an official announcement. Nottingham acquired a large number of newcomers last season (less than 30 people), but with great difficulty retained their place in the Premier League.
Norman moved to Saudi Arabia
A few weeks ago, Norman left Russia and announced that he had unilaterally terminated the contract with Rostov and Dynamo. The player’s rights belonged to the Don club, and in the Moscow team he played on loan. The Norwegian left Russia after the drone attack on the city of Moscow. Naturally, neither Dynamo nor Rostov fit into this lineup. The blue and white prepare a lawsuit. Rostov may do the same. Meanwhile, Norman signed a contract with the Saudi club Al Raed.
