A 0-0 draw with Manchester City and Manchester United no longer want a midfield …
THE ONLY WAY IS UP
While the claim in october If Manchester United had ‘bothered’ Dayot Upamecano with a low ball offer in his youth, the club had reportedly become discouraged from the player in mid-December.
It is not particularly clear why. The athletic They only explain that Manchester United ‘have now cooled their interest’ in the central midfielder, that ‘it is no longer a primary target’, as the Premier League club ‘made clear’.
That is likely to leave Bayern Munich largely unopposed as they try to persuade Leipzig to part ways with one of its greatest assets. Of course, it could well be out of their hands with Upamecano’s release clause to be cut to £ 38 million by the end of the season.
The 22-year-old, for his part, is eager to leave in hopes of boosting his prospects of playing for France in upcoming qualifiers for the World Cup and delayed Euro. But it won’t be because of Old Trafford.
SZO CLOSE
The revolving door of talent will see Upamecano leave Leipzig around the same time Dominik Szoboszlai enters. The natural passage from Salzburg is scheduled for January.
The most reputable media outlets are reporting that Arsenal’s apparent target is Germany, and that the move is likely to take place during the Austrian Bundesliga’s winter break.
Salzburg have two games left before their month off, and Szoboszlai asked after the 3-1 win over LASK if they would be his last games for the club. “Yes, exactly,” was his reply, before stating that he had not decided with certainty who he would join. But it really is Leipzig, folks.
Same old Arsenal, a damning indictment on Arteta’s leadership
JOAO FACTOR
Maybe Arsenal could save their surplus funds for Szoboszlai and use them to buy about an eighth of Joao Félix? The association of the striker with Atlético de Madrid “runs the risk of finally ending completely after the last frictions” with Diego Simeone.
As much as Mikel Arteta and David Luiz are no longer in terms of talking in north London, Felix and Simeone have apparently clashed in the Spanish capital. The former’s anger at being substituted in the derby defeat against Real Madrid “testifies to a relationship that never flourished” with his coach.
While there is no shortage of fans, the story is different regarding teams that could actually afford a player that Atlético signed for £ 113 million in the summer of 2019. Transfer market Put the names of Juventus and Inter Milan in the hat, with exchanges involving Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martínez proposed to offset much of the monetary value.
