Ousmane Dembélé and Barça, the soap opera continues

FC Barcelona seems to have made up its mind: Ousmane Dembélé, at the end of his contract in June, will not extend.

So how do you get some money out of a player bought for 145 million euros from Borussia Dortmund in 2017?

By selling it from January, of course.

According to Catalan daily

Sport

, the 24-year-old Les Bleus winger has been offered to Manchester United and Newcastle for 20 million euros.

The Magpies, picking up in the Premiership (penultimate) despite their takeover by a wealthy Saudi fund in early October, would be very interested.

The concern is that, still according to

Sport

, the player would see himself waiting until the end of his contract this summer, to leave free wherever he wants with a nice signing bonus in passing.

Eliaquim Mangala on the relaunch in Saint-Etienne?

For the time being, the Pascal Dupraz potion has not revitalized Saint-Etienne, Ligue 1 red lantern with five points behind the Bordeaux-Lorient-Troyes trio.

So, ASSE embarked on a January recruitment that looked like a big bet.

If we except Paul Bernardoni, sure bet of L1 even if he had lost his place in Angers, Bakari Sako, Sadia Thioub or Joris Gnagnon do not present great guarantees.

And now it is Eliaquim Mangala who should join the green galley for the next six months, according to RMC, even if another European club is also in the running.

The former defender of the France team, who notably worked for FC Porto and Manchester City, has not had a club since leaving Valencia last summer.

Released from the French radar for several seasons, Mangala will celebrate its 31st birthday on February 13th.

In Geoffroy-Guichard?

Dario Benedetto will return to Boca Juniors

We tend to forget it, but Dario Benedetto still belongs to OM.

On loan at Elche since last summer, the 31-year-old striker will not finish the season in La Liga.

According to the Argentine sports daily

Olé

, he must commit Thursday with Boca Juniors, where he has already evolved between 2016 and 2019, before his very mixed adventure in Marseille.

The transaction would be around 3 to 4 million euros, according to

L'Equipe

.
