Mbappé Reste À Paris À Moins Que… Sport / Sports Transferts Mbappé reste à Paris à moins que… Un mercato historique prend fin mardi à minuit, après les transferts de deux étoiles du football mondial : Lionel Messi au Paris SG et Cristiano Ronaldo de retour à Manchester United; Kylian Mbappé semble de plus en plus proche d'un statu quo, malgré l'intérêt du Real Madrid. La Ligue 1 n'avait pas autant affolé le mercato depuis 2017 et l'arrivée conjointe de Neymar et Mbappé au PSG ! Mais l'édition 2021 du marché des transferts restera, quoi qu'il arrive, marquée de l'empreinte parisienne, avec un club plus que jamais en mode Ligue des champions. L'arrivée de Messi, que le FC Barcelone n'a pas pu conserver, a causé un retentissement inédit dans la capitale et dans les instances du foot français. Au Parc des Princes lors de sa présentation aux fans, comme pour ses premières minutes de jeu à Reims dimanche, “la Pulga” a fait chavirer les amateurs de football à chaque apparition. Presque assez pour faire oublier le recrutement étoilé de Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum et Gianluigi Donnarumma, trois cadres arrivés gratuitement, et d'Achraf Hakimi, une très bonne pioche arrachée à l'Inter Milan pour 60 millions euros. Le feuilleton Mbappé a tenu en haleine les fans jusqu'aux dernières heures du mercato. Mais les offres du Real (160 millions euros, puis 180 bonus inclus) n'ont pas fait fléchir les dirigeants parisiens, proches de conserver leur star, en fin de contrat en juin. La crise de la Covid n'a pas changé ses habitudes: le Championnat d'Angleterre reste le plus dépensier. La recrue la plus chère a atterri à Manchester City. Le milieu offensif d'Aston Villa et nouveau chouchou des fans anglais, Jack Grealish, est devenu Citizen pour 117 millions euros. Chelsea, champion d'Europe en titre, a dépensé 115 millions euros pour assurer le retour de Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan). Mais c'est peut-être Manchester United qui a tiré le gros lot en faisant revenir Cristiano Ronaldo, son ancienne gloire. Autres arrivées: Raphaël Varane (Real Madrid, 40 millions euros) et Jadon Sancho (Dortmund, 85 millions euros). Le départ de Cristiano Ronaldo de la Juventus s'inscrit dans la logique d'un été où la Serie A, frappée par la crise, n'avait pas les moyens de retenir ses stars, à l'image de Lukaku. Pour se renforcer, les prêts avec obligation d'achat, permettant de repousser d'un an voire deux ans le paiement, restent ainsi monnaie courante: formule notamment retenue par la Juventus pour Manuel Locatelli, en prêt deux ans de Sassuolo avant un achat (37,5 millions euros) et pour le revenant Moise Kean (Everton). L'Inter Milan a réinvesti une part des ventes (30 millions euros pour Joaquin Correa, 12,5 millions euros pour Denzel Dumfries) mais aussi joué malin avec des joueurs libres (Hakan Calhanoglu, Edin Dzeko). Milan a limité les dépenses en attirant deux Français : Olivier Giroud et Mike Maignan. Seule la Roma a vraiment cassé sa tirelire pour offrir à José Mourinho le jeune attaquant anglais Tammy Abraham (pour 40 millions euros, joueur le plus cher en arrivée en Italie). La Liga orpheline de Messi en Espagne, alors que le championnat tout entier attend fiévreusement l'épilogue du feuilleton Mbappé, le mercato a plutôt été marqué par les partants (Ramos, Varane, Messi). Le départ de la “puce” argentine a laissé un vide énorme au sein du club catalan, où il a passé plus de 20 ans de sa vie et écrit la légende d'un des meilleurs clubs du monde. La preuve : personne n'a encore osé reprendre son emblématique n°10. Le Barça a recruté deux attaquants de renom, Sergio Agüero et Memphis Depay, et deux jeunes défenseurs, Eric Garcia et Emerson Royal. Côté Real, la seule arrivée notable est celle de David Alaba, en plus du retour de prêt de Gareth Bale et de celle, probable, d'Eduardo Camavinga. Le Bayern Munich s'est offert l'international français Dayot Upamecano et l'Autrichien Marcel Sabitzer, de Leipzig, ex-club de son nouvel entraîneur Julian Nagelsmann. Son grand rival, Dortmund, a cédé Jadon Sancho à Manchester United, mais a réussi à conserver son buteur norvégien Erling Haaland... au moins pour le moment. .

The French champions remain in contention, however, thanks to an away goal from Neymar in between Haaland's double in Germany. • While Paris have lost in the last 16 in each of the last three seasons, Dortmund were beaten at this stage in 2018/19 and have not reached the quarter-finals since 2016/17 – the year after Paris's most recent last-eight appearance. • The tie pits Paris coach Thomas Tuchel against his former club.

  • The Gffn 100 2018: Ten to Watch
    GFFN 100 2018 THE GFFN 100: AN INTRODUCTION Welcome to another edition of the Get French Football News 100. Published at the end of ev- ery year by GFFN, the guide you are reading is as detailed and comprehensive a set of player profiles as one is likely to find, especially in English. Some of these players are well-known, even to the casual fan, and though they have been the subjects of countless profiles, we hope that you can gain a bit more depth in knowledge of their stories. This is especially true with the likes of Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappé. In 2018, neither was ever far from the limelight in a year in which France won the World Cup, thanks in large part to the teen- age sensation. Neymar may have garnered the odd headline for less positive reasons, but both remain as compelling off the pitch as they do on it. It is thus no surprise to see Mbappé top the rankings again; it does not take much objectivity to realise his immense talent and potential, but the present document is much more than a narra- tive driven by celebrity. We have watched the matches that do not generate headlines, seen the teams that are rarely on television, especially internationally, and artfully blended statistical anal- ysis with old-fashioned scouting to create what we feel is a definitive guide to the professionals currently plying their trade in France. If some rankings seem high, or low, read the profiles before making a snap decision as to our choices; this is a meritocracy.
