“Mbappe believes that the team lacks creativity in the final third and wants the Portuguese midfielder to provide PSG with a spark upfront.
“The first obstacle for a potential Silva move to PSG is that his contract runs until June 2025. However, Silva has already publicly stated on several occasions that he could leave the club before his deal expires should a tempting offer arrives [sic].
“His current market value is set at 86.8 million euros, but Pep Guardiola would not happily give the green light for Silva to depart the team.”
Caicedo wants to leave Brighton
“I am the youngest of 10 siblings from a poor upbringing in Santa Domingo in Ecuador,” he stated.
“My dream [was] always to be the most decorated player in the history of Ecuador.
“I am proud to be able to bring in a record transfer fee for Brighton which would allow them to reinvest it and help the club continue to be successful.
“The fans have taken me into their hearts and they will always be in my heart so I hope they can understand why I want to take up this magnificent opportunity.”
Chelsea agree Gusto deal
The Mirror reports that Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Malo Gusto from Lyon as they look for back-up at right-back following the injury to Reece James, meaning that they will beat clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester United to his signature and bring him into the squad later this year.
“The Blues have already splashed out over £200million on transfers this month and earmarked the 19-year-old as their No.1 alternative to Reece James, who is currently out injured. But after rejecting two offers from west London, the French club made clear that they had no intention of parting with Gusto this month.”
Mourinho wants Roma exit
“Jose Mourinho is eager to return to England next season amid frustration at a lack of financial backing from Roma,” the paper begins.
“An extraordinary third spell at Chelsea would be his ideal scenario and his representatives have let it be known that he would be interested in any vacancy at Stamford Bridge, but the club have made it clear they intend to stand by Graham Potter.
“Mourinho’s wife and children still live in London and he has always preferred working in the Premier League to elsewhere.”
