Yahoo20-03-2025
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.

New Milan offer for Jashari at 35m plus 3m bonus

Fresh details are emerging on the new Milan offer for Ardon Jashari, which will reportedly be worth €35m plus €3m in add-ons to Club Brugge. It remains to be seen if this will be sufficient, but the Rossoneri are increasingly confident that they will get the all clear over the next few days. Milan changing the Jashari offer BRUGES, BELGIUM – FEBRUARY 12: Ardon Jashari #30 of Club Brugge KV looks on following his teams 2-1 victory against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Knockout Play-off first leg match at Jan Breydel Stadium on February 12, 2025 in Bruges, Belgium. (Photo by Alex Bierens) There had already been numerous reports that the format of the proposal would change, if not the total figure of circa €38m. That is now confirmed by Sport Mediaset and who note that Milan informed Jashari's intermediaries that a new formal bid is coming this weekend. It is going to be worth €35m as a fixed fee plus €3m in add-ons, an improvement from the previous rejected bid that had only €32m guaranteed and the other €6m in various bonuses. The add-ons should also be quite easy to activate and therefore be practically a guaranteed figure of €38m.

Chin up, Yuki...

Follow live coverage as Spa hosts Round 13 of the 2025 Formula One world championship and the Belgian Grand Prix weekend Getty Images Championship leader Oscar Piastri will start on pole for Saturday's Belgian Grand Prix sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps. Red Bull's Max Verstappen will be sandwiched by the two McLarens, with Lando Norris P3 and the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc on the second row. However, Lewis Hamilton suffered a surprise spin to seal a first-session exit. The Ferrari driver will have just two cars behind him on tomorrow's sprint race grid, starting 18th. The sole hour of free practice this weekend saw Piastri fastest in FP1 by a distance, with Saturday's sprint race followed by grand prix qualifying ahead of Sunday's race. Saturday: Sprint race and GP qualifying, ahead of Sunday's race Sprint race and GP qualifying, ahead of Sunday's race Join the conversation: live@ GO FURTHER Lewis Hamilton: 'I refuse' to be another failed Ferrari F1 world champion Getty Images Yuki Tsunoda has just been speaking in the media pen following his SQ2 exit — and I have to applaud the Japanese driver for keeping a straight face when being asked if things might improve when he gets the same Red Bull upgrades Max Verstappen is carrying. If only, hey Yuki… Getty Images Here is who misses out on the top-10 sprint qualifying shootout… 11: Liam Lawson (RB) (RB) 12: Yuki Tsunoda (RBR) (RBR) 13: George Russell (MER) (MER) 14: Fernando Alonso (AST) (AST) 15: Lance Stroll (AST) It was Lando Norris fastest with a 1:41.412 — ahead of Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and (DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SETS) the Haas of Esteban Ocon. Really not a good day for Mercedes. Kimi Antonelli was already out, and now George Russell exits SQ2 in 13th, meaning it'll be a big ask for the Silver Arrows to score any points in the sprint race tomorrow. The team scored a 1-2 on the track at the grand prix here last year before Russell was disqualified, handing the win to Lewis Hamilton (still with Mercedes then, of course). GO FURTHER George Russell disqualified from Belgian Grand Prix, making Lewis Hamilton the winner SQ2 0:00 — George Russell is OUT! How did that happen? A shocker for the Mercedes. It was close for Oscar Piastri too. Blimey, there was a lot of improvement from everyone else there. SQ2 0:00 — Checkered flag out. Two Aston Martins and Yuki Tsunoda in trouble now… The length of the lap here at Spa has made for some interesting strategies for the laps in SQ2, as there's not really time for two runs. The McLarens have tried it, but it's otherwise basically a one-shot session for everyone. SQ2 1:17 — Interestingly, both Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc go quicker than Lando Norris. Lots of drivers still without a lap time… Not Oscar Piastri though. He sets a 1:42.128 to at least post a time. Getty Images SQ2 2:20 — BUT wait a minute. Oscar Piastri's lap time is deleted for exceeding track limits — while Lando Norris' 1:42.182 sticks. It wasn't much, but it was enough. So now Norris is quickest, and Piastri has a bit of pressure to nail his second lap… SQ2 5:01 — Both McLarens head out first, with Lando Norris leading the pair. Clear run, clean air and a chance to show what they've got. But Oscar Piastri is still quicker: 1:41.736 — which is more than four-tenths up on the time Norris set. Wowsa. SQ2 7:07 — Again, no hanging around here. All 15 remaining cars out, and all will try to get in two flying laps I imagine. SQ2 10:00 — Interesting conversations as the track is cleared of gravel ahead of the 0 minutes of SQ2. Notably that Lewis Hamilton's big and costly spin might have come from a mechanical issue. It was certainly strange. Likewise with Nico Hülkenberg, who has also had his engineer come onto team radio to apologize for something. Fortunately for Oliver Bearman, it sounded like he made a clear lift on his throttle under that late yellow flag — and still went quick enough to get into SQ2. And that session has just started! I do get the criticism some make about sprint weekends, given it can serve as a 'spoiler' for the rest of the on-track action to follow. But when it's the choice between competitive action and another practice session, to me it's quite an easy call... Getty Images Here is who exits sprint qualifying in the opening session… 16: Alex Albon (WIL) (WIL) 17: Nico Hülkenberg (SAU) (SAU) 18: Lewis Hamilton (FER) (FER) 19: Franco Colapinto (ALP) (ALP) 20: Kimi Antonelli (FER) Disaster for everyone in this group, to be honest. For the record, Oscar Piastri was quickest with a 1:41.769 — which was three-tenths quicker than everyone else. Kimi Antonelli's recent rough run continues with that mistake and SQ1 exit too. Bono, his race engineer, tells him they'll take a look at the floor on his car that may have been damaged when he went off. Tough time for the rookie. A really weird mistake from Lewis Hamilton, and a costly one. He lost control of the car under braking into the Bus Stop chicane, at a time when he needed a lap to get through. P18 for the start of the sprint is going to make for a long Saturday. SQ1 0:00 — Kimi Antonelli and Franco Colapinto are heading out here. They've crossed the line and not improved enough... OH NO! Lewis Hamilton goes off too at the Bus Stop chicane! Yellow flags out, so that might be it for everyone. SQ1 0:00 — Checkered flag out. This is it for the opening sprint qualifying session… SQ1 2:14 — Still no competitive times from Kimi Antonelli or Oliver Bearman, whose first lap time was deleted for exceeding track limits. It looks like Lewis Hamilton ran wide similarly to Antonelli on his first run. There's time for a second run, but not for any more mistakes… SQ1 3:18 — Bad news for Mercedes as Geoorge Russell complains about getting caught in Antonelli's gravel cloud. Lewis Hamilton the man in trouble right now. Only P14 after his first run. Time ticking. Alex Albon in a spot too, in P15.

PSG Uncertainty Opens Door for Chelsea Move for Man Utd Transfer Target

PSG are facing growing uncertainty at the goalkeeper position, and Lucas Chevalier of LOSC Lille has reportedly emerged as a potential long-term option. The 23-year-old French shot-stopper is attracting interest as the summer transfer window heats up. Gianluigi Donnarumma remains under contract until 2026, but a string of high-profile mistakes has raised questions about his long-term role. While he's come up big in key Champions League matches—particularly against Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal—his inconsistency continues to be a concern. Despite the uncertainty, ESPN FC has reported that Donnarumma wants to stay in Paris. Still, both Manchester United and Inter Milan are said to be keeping a close eye on his situation. Is another Premier League club keen on a PSG star?L'Équipe reports that if Donnarumma were to leave PSG, his destination could be Chelsea. The London club has targeted the Italian goalkeeper and is closely monitoring his situation. Marco Conterio of Tuttomercatweb recently reported that Galatasaray are aiming high. With the Victor Osimhen signing believed to be wrapped up, the club has now set its sights on landing a top-tier goalkeeper—and Donnarumma is the name on their radar. Galatasaray have reportedly made contact for Donnarumma and are hoping to lure him with a salary similar to Osimhen's, banking on the fact that his contract with PSG runs out in 2026. It's a bold and complicated pursuit, but Galatasaray seem intent on making a major splash.
