Engages these days in his ultimate Tour de France, 12^e in the general classification two stages from the goal, Thibaut Pinot is nonetheless in the news, and in particular the setbacks of FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, a club he is particularly fond of.

A native of Lure in Franche-Comté, the French runner is attached to the heritage of his region – a heritage of which the Cubs are a part.

 » Long live Sochaux “, he promises this Friday on his Twitter account, relaying the photo of this message written in yellow and blue paint on the route of the day’s stage run between Moirans-en-Montagne and Poligny.

On the verge of bankruptcy, retrograde in National, the FCSM sees a great mobilization to ensure its sustainability. The Greater Belfort urban community announces a grant of one million euros to support the project to take over Romain Peugeot, great-grandson of the club’s founder. The Chinese real estate group Nenking, owner of the duubist institution, expects 12 million euros in total to sell its shares.

The situation may seem absurd. While FC Sochaux has been terminating the contracts of its players for two weeks, Eliezer Mayenda is blocked despite a purchase offer issued by Sunderland. The English club, which plays in the second division, has been talking with the 18-year-old striker and the FCSM for several days. A first offer had been refused by the Sochaux leaders, who recently obtained better conditions (just over 1 million euros in bonuses included, + 20% on resale). Eliezer Mayenda was even authorized by the FCSM to travel across the Channel last weekend to visit the Black Cats facilities. On site, the sports project has thrilled the young player.

Problems, this Thursday morning, the management informed those around Mayenda that the club was not selling. The negotiations on a possible sale of the club by Nenking would be the main reason. In any case, it is unlikely that Sunderland will again increase their offer for the 18-year-old striker, officially under contract with FCSM until 2025, even if it is rumored that an extension for another year would have been signed discreetly at the end of last season. In the meantime, Mayenda takes his troubles patiently and trains under the orders of Oswald Tanchot. Thursday morning, he was not on the pitch due to a gene in the adductors.

After more than a decade at Spurs, Hugo Lloris will leave London. Arrived in the summer of 2012 at Tottenham, the tricolor world champion wants to turn the page. While the former Lyonnais was authorized by his club not to participate in the tour of Asia and Oceania, Ange Postecoglou, landed this summer on the London bench, confirmed the desires elsewhere of the former captain of the Blues .

« I spoke with him and he told me that he hoped to be transferred elsewhere to be able to play and start the next phase of his career, » he said, taking care to pay tribute to the tricolor goalkeeper: « I don’t I’ve only had two or three talks with him, but even in training I can see that he’s not just an exceptional goalkeeper, but also an exceptional human being. “He left an indelible mark at Tottenham,” he added.

At 36 and despite a most complicated last season, Hugo Lloris has no shortage of suitors. Courtesy in Saudi Arabia and in MLS, the native of Nice is also on the shelves of Inter Milan, which is looking for an experienced goalkeeper to succeed Andre Onana, leaving for Manchester United, and PSG, in search of a double for Gianluigi Donnarumma. And according to RMC, the tricolor goalkeeper would not be insensitive to the interest of the champions of France.

While Cristiano Ronaldo has been playing for Al-Nassr since January, Lionel Messi is ending his career in the United States. On the sidelines of the test match against Celta Vigo, Ronaldo did not miss the opportunity to tease his eternal rival again.

Saudi Arabia attracts many players with astronomical salaries and has obtained two world stars in Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. However, Al-Hilal was left behind in poker by Lionel Messi, the world champion decided with his ex-Barça team-mate Sergio Busquets on the adventure at Inter Miami.

When it comes to CR7, Messi has taken the easy route. « The Saudi league is better than MLS, » Ronaldo said in an interview on the sidelines of the friendly against Spanish Premier League club Celta Vigo, which beat Al-Nassr 5-0, according to ESPN.

But that’s not all. The Saudi Pro League will soon “overtake the Turkish and Dutch leagues”, Ronaldo announced: “In a year, more and more top players will come to Saudi Arabia. I paved the way. »

CR7 is quoted as saying by transfer insider Fabrizio Romano: « Serie A was dead – and after I moved to Juventus it was revived. Wherever Cristiano goes, there’s more interest in him.

Europe’s top leagues are no longer bustling these days, Ronaldo said: “European (Site notre bureau spécialisé) has lost a lot of quality. The only league that still works well is the Premier League. It is way ahead of all the other leagues.” However , he’s out of the question for him to be a lifeguard again, the 38-year-old added – the move comes as no surprise given his rumored annual salary of over €200m.

Big transfers were solicited in vain at the start of the week. But the rumors were all the more exciting. Here is the transfer news.

With a market value of 10 million euros (source ‘(Site notre équipe d’expert)’). Marc Roca yesterday the only notable transfer. Ex-Bayern star joins Leeds United on loan Betis Sevilla. He left England after the relegation of Leeds.

Inter is looking for a new striker which is why there have been Romelu Lukaku signing rumors lately. However, because he is more involved with Juve, the Nerazzurri quit poker. Arsenals Folarin Balogun sparked interest, reports The Athletic. The Italians have yet to submit a bid.

it should be much more precise Juan Cuadrado be. According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Cuadrado will undergo his medical this week Inter complete and then sign a contract until 2024.

Riyadh Mahrez will he again go into the desert. As reported by The Athletic Al Ahli already contacted the Skyblues. Since a change doesn’t seem unrealistic, the PL club are already looking for a replacement. The transfer fee for the Algerian, who still has a contract with ManCity until 2025, would be 35 million euros.

« When does Kim finally arrive? » Many Bayern fans will surely wonder that. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has now given hope that this will soon be the time. You can see his statements in the video here.

As « Sky » journalist Florian Plettenberg also reports, the deal is done and the money is transferred. Previously, there were complications with Napoli but now they are resolved. Kim is seen as Lucas Hernández’s successor and coach Thomas Tuchel’s absolute dream player.

It’s well known that the Spaniards like to put things in place during the transfer phase. With the latest rumours, however, things have gone a step further. As ‘El Nacional’ report, Manchester United are reportedly interested in David Alaba after Harry Maguire was sacked as captain.

But we can assume that the report is rather absurd. ‘El Nacional’ newspaper was founded in Barcelona in 2016 and there is no real connection with Real Madrid. Especially since Alaba only signed a contract until 2026 and is a regular player under Ancelotti. Kind of speaks all against a change.

« Huge opportunity » in the promotion of young talents

Markus Krösche calls for better youth development in German (Site notre bureau spécialisé). The approach has to change fundamentally, the Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director said in the ‘kicker’ interview. « On the one hand, the DFB is needed, but so are we as clubs. We have to ask honest questions: What has happened in the last seven or eight years? Why do we have so little talent at most? high level ?

The 42-year-old, who is also a member of the DFL (Site notre blog d’information) Committee, is calling for ‘territorial protection’ similar to that of England. As a result, clubs with youth academies (NLZ) are only allowed to accept players from a certain region up to a certain age, according to Krösche. Club practice – all clubs participating in the Bundesliga and 2nd Division are obliged to run a performance center as a funding institution – is currently different.

“Until the age of 18, we need a salary cap. So a maximum amount that can be paid to a young player who is not yet a professional player », demanded Krösche. Then the money for players and consultants would no longer be an incentive to change. « We have a huge opportunity in Germany to solve the problem of too frequent and early changes with a salary cap. » Krösche also suggested starting with the NLZ of the U12s and young (Site notre bureau spécialisé)ers playing in their home clubs for as long as possible to allow.

Professional clubs should “go to grassroots (Site notre bureau spécialisé) in their respective region, create partnerships, help with the training of coaches. This is part of the responsibility of professional clubs – but above all of the DFB. The DFB needs to invest a lot more in the training of grassroots club coaches, » Krösche said. playing time at the same time. » That’s how the mentality of the (Site notre bureau spécialisé) pitch that we all want back is created in the first place. And the best of this group of players then go to the NLZ from the U12s. »

Eintracht Frankfurt’s Krösche sees new league structure as building block

From 2024, the Bundesliga A-Junior and B-Junior will be abolished. The new divisions will be called the U19 and U17 Junior Leagues. « We have to be clear: the new structure of the league is only a building block. (…) But if we think that we have changed the structure now and that in a few years we will have at least eight class players in Germany, then we are on the wrong track. The subject is far too complex for that, « said Krösche. Joti Chatzialexiou, sports director of the national teams, had spoken of « a milestone in the promotion of our young talents ».
