Paris Saint-Germain are looking to strengthen their depth at left-back behind Nuno Mendes, and sporting advisor Luís Campos may have his sights set on Belgium for a solution.
According to a previous report from Mundo Deportivo, PSG are interested in Maxim De Cuyper from Club Brugge. The 23-year-old, under contract until 2028, fits well within Campos' recruitment strategy.
AC Milan are also reportedly in the mix, but PSG are preparing a strong offer to land De Cuyper.
Football Insider reports that Bournemouth are eyeing De Cuyper as a potential replacement for Milos Kerkez, who is attracting interest from Liverpool.

Arsenal have reportedly begun talks with De Cuyper's agent, per Tuttosport in February, in an effort to reach a contract agreement. The Gunners are eager to secure a deal with the Belgium international before other top clubs get involved.
The report also mentions that AC Milan have reached out to De Cuyper's representative, while West Ham United and Juventus have scouted him multiple times this season.
Moreover, the Belgian club is asking for €25 million (£20.6m / $25.9m) to sell De Cuyper, a fee well within Arsenal's budget.

Arsenal vs Newcastle: Friendly prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h, odds

Arsenal take on Newcastle in the second game of their pre-season tour of Asia. The Gunners face the Magpies at the National Stadium in Singapore, where many of their recent recruits will get another run-out as they look to gel with their new team-mates. Mikel Arteta has gone big in the transfer window this summer, bringing in the likes of Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard to bolster his engine room, while Noni Madueke adds flair and versatility in the wide areas. Kepa Arrizabalaga will rival compatriot David Raya in the goalkeeping department, and Cristhian Mosquera adds important depth across the backline. Viktor Gyokeres is expected to become an Arsenal player this weekend, but this game will come too soon for the Swede, who is set to finalise his initial £63.5million move from Sporting Lisbon. Date, kick-off time and venue Arsenal vs Newcastle is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick-off on Sunday, July 27, 2025. The game will be played at the National Stadium in Singapore. Where to watch Arsenal vs Newcastle TV channel: In the UK, the game will not be televised. Live stream: Viewers can stream the game live on Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport's live blog! Arsenal vs Newcastle team news From an Arsenal perspective, there are three major absentees. Brazilian pair Gabriel and Gabriel Jesus are both ruled out, with Arteta saying that he needed to 'manage' the former and 'minimise risk'. Jurrien Timber is another that is sidelined with an ankle injury, and he will not be able to face Newcastle. Madueke, the new £52m signing from Chelsea, will not be involved due to his involvement at the Club World Cup with the Blues, who won the revamped tournament in the United States. Mosquera, the most recent arrival from Valencia, could make his bow in an Arsenal shirt having joined up with the squad in Singapore. As for Newcastle, there is one huge miss: Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker reportedly wants to leave the north-east amid interest from Liverpool, but he has also remained on Tyneside as he continues to nurse a thigh injury. Lewis Hall is their other injury concern, with the left-back sidelined thanks to an ankle issue. Arsenal vs Newcastle prediction Arsenal are fortunate to have almost a full complement available to them, and their new signings - brought in early in the window - have ample time to gel and really bolster their numbers and depth. As for Newcastle, they are looking relatively bare bones, with manager Eddie Howe admitting that his side have to get stuck into the transfer market. That is particularly the case if Isak departs, with Newcastle wanting a top striker to potentially replace him. Without Isak, they sometimes lack that bite in attack, although Anthony Gordon can be expected to deputise through the middle, which could mean Harvey Barnes comes in on the left, and new boy Anthony Elanga goes straight in off the right. That said, Arsenal should have too much for Newcastle at this moment in time. Arsenal to win, 3-1 Head to head (h2h) history and results These two sides played each other four times last term, with Newcastle winning three of those encounters. Two of those were semi-final legs of the League Cup, which the Magpies lifted at Wembley when they beat Liverpool.

Report – Inter Milan Aiming To Offload Belgium International Imminently

Inter Milan are aiming to offload defender Zinho Vanheusden within the next week or two. This according to Italian outlet FCInterNews. They report that the Belgian has not reported for preseason training, and the Nerazzurri are working with his agents to find a solution. Inter Milan signed defender Zinho Vanheusden to their youth academy all the way back in 2015. The Belgian was very highly rated when the Nerazzurri brought him in from Standard Liege. And the hopes were high for him. Inter would loan Vanheusden back to Standard for some time. Then, they subsequently sold him on a permanent basis. And in the summer of 2021, exercised a buyback clause on the young defender. A succession of loan spells followed. Vanheusden joined Genoa and then AZ Alkmaar on loan. However, these two years were absolutely blighted by injury for the Belgian. Including a broken foot that he sustained while at AZ. Inter Aiming To Offload Zinho Vanheusden In Next Couple Weeks Belgium's Zinho Vanheusden pictured during a press moment of Belgian national soccer team Red Devils to prepare three qualification games for the 2022 World Cup, Tuesday 31 August 2021 in Tubize. BELGA PHOTO BRUNO FAHY (Photo by BRUNO FAHY/BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images) In the summer of 2023, Inter loaned Vanheusden back to Standard Liege. For whatever reason, the Belgian's boyhood club seemed to be the one place that he could avoid unfortunate injuries and string together some playing time. However, Standard did not sign Vanheusden outright at the end of that loan spell. Therefore, the Belgian joined Mechelen on loan last summer. However, Vanheusden barely featured for the Belgian club. Once again, injuries played a major role in this. Having once looked like he could feature regularly for Belgium, even earning a senior cap, Vanheusden looks very much out in the cold. There would hardly be any chance of the 25-year-old playing for Inter. However, as the Gazzetta note, Vanheusden is still under contract with the Nerazzurri. The Belgian is still on the same five-year deal that he signed when he rejoined Inter in the summer of 2025. According to FCInterNews, though, Inter are looking to facilitate an exit for Vanheusden soon. The Belgian has not reported for preseason training. That in spite of the fact that he is still under contract with the Nerazzurri. According to FCIN, Inter have been in contact with Vanheusden's representatives. They are hoping that they can find a new club for him within the next week or two. Furthermore, FCIN report, Vanheusden is not likely to join another club in Belgium again.

Lando Norris edges out McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri to claim pole in Belgium

Lando Norris will start from pole position for the Belgian Grand Prix in his bid to seal a hat-trick of consecutive victories after beating championship rival Oscar Piastri to top spot. Norris finished third, a place behind McLaren team-mate Piastri in the earlier sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps, but the British driver bounced back to secure his second pole in three races. Charles Leclerc took third for Ferrari but team-mate Lewis Hamilton's weekend took another nightmare twist after he qualified only 16th. Max Verstappen – who won the first Formula One race staged following Christian Horner's dismissal as Red Bull team principal in Saturday's 15-lap dash – was fourth, one position clear of Williams' Alex Albon, with George Russell sixth for Mercedes. Piastri extended his championship advantage over Norris from eight points to nine and appeared to hold the upper hand over his team-mate heading into qualifying. However, Norris delivered with his first lap of Q3 to hold a near two-tenth advantage over Piastri heading into the concluding runs and – although he failed to improve, and Piastri did – it was enough to take first place as he looks to build on his wins in Austria and Silverstone. Norris qualified six tenths behind Piastri in Friday's qualifying and he said: 'Everyone was quite worried after yesterday. But I was always confident, so it is nice to get back on top. 'The car has been flying all weekend and Oscar and I have been pushing each other a lot. You can see each other's strengths and weaknesses (on the shared team data) so that makes it a tough battle.' Rain is forecast for Sunday's 44-lap race, and Norris continued: 'I prefer it to stay dry. But I don't mind if it is wet, or dry, or somewhere in the middle. I just hope it is an exciting race.' Hamilton, who started 18th and finished 15th in the earlier sprint race earlier, was eliminated in Q1 for Sunday's main event after his best lap was chalked off by the stewards. The Briton thought he had done enough to haul his Ferrari into the next phase of qualifying when he posted the seventh best time. But moments later, his lap was deleted after he was adjudged to have run all four wheels of his Ferrari off the circuit at Raidillon. That dropped him way down the order. 'Is everything OK?' Hamilton asked on the radio. 'Track limits,' replied Hamilton's race engineer, Ricardo Adami. 'Am I out?' Hamilton replied. 'Lap time is deleted, P16,' came the response. There was no response from the 40-year-old who is left to reflect on another sobering result of his difficult start to life at Ferrari. Hamilton, who spun in qualifying for the sprint, enters Sunday's race without a podium for Ferrari – the deepest he has gone into a season in his career without a top-three finish. Hamilton's replacement at Mercedes, Kimi Antonelli, also failed to emerge from Q1 and will start 18th, with both Aston Martins on the final row of the grid following a dismal qualifying session for the British team. Fernando Alonso will line up from 19th, with team-mate Lance Stroll 20th and last. Ollie Bearman finished an impressive seventh in the sprint, but then qualified 12th as he complained the start of his final lap was compromised by Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda.
