MU wants the number 1 goalkeeper in Morocco
In the search for a replacement for David de Gea whose contract is about to expire, MU decided to resume contact with goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, or simply Bono.
In the summer of 2022, MU officials negotiated with Sevilla to recruit Bono but were unsuccessful.
Bono won the Zamora title (least conceded goalie in La Liga) in the 2021-22 season, before becoming a hero to help Morocco reach the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup – a feat of African and Arab football.
This season, after 13 matches in La Liga, Bono received 20 goals and only 2 clean sheets. The reason is that Sevilla is in crisis, so he intends to leave.
According to Footmercato, a number of offers from the Premier League and Bundesliga have just been sent to Bono as well as Sevilla. This 31-year-old goalkeeper prefers to English football, and MU is currently the team to win the “pole”.
Man City launched the signing of Rafael Leao
The future of Rafael Leao continues to be an interesting topic when transfer market opened, when Man City announced plans to bring him back to Etihad.
Calciomercato reported, Man City did not rule out the possibility of using Jack Grealish to include in the terms of an exchange with AC Milan.
Grealish, the most expensive English player in history, did not show himself in a Man City shirt. He only scored 1 goal and 2 assists after 19 times Pep Guardiola launched this season.
Meanwhile, Leao announced that he wanted to train for Milan but did not accept a contract extension and confirmed that he wanted to go to the Premier League. “Yes, I want to try English football, but it is the future. Right now I am 100% focused on the work for the team I play for.”
Rivals Chelsea soon contacted Milan and Rafael Leao in the past few days. However, Man City hopes Grealish will be the key to solving this important deal, helping Pep Guardiola develop a long-term football project.
Milan approached goalkeeper Edouard Mendy
Italian news experts said that the team in charge of the football AC Milan, with legend Paolo Maldini at the helm, are knocking on Chelsea’s door to negotiate the transfer of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
Since Graham Potter took over from Thomas Tuchel, Edouard Mendy lost his official position to Kepa. One of the reasons is the bad attitude of the Senegalese goalkeeper.
Edouard Mendy wants to leave Chelsea and move to a new environment that will allow him to play at the top. Milan is an appropriate solution.
Milan have a headache with the continuous injury status of Mike Maignan, who has only started 12 games this season. The Serie A champions need a new goalkeeper for great ambitions.
Milan accepted to pay Chelsea a transfer price of 25 million euros. Edouard Mendy has French nationality so registering for Serie A is not a problem.
