At a press conference, Didier Deschamps discussed Randal Kolo Muani’s situation, confirming that he had not had a direct discussion with the player about a possible loan from Paris Saint-Germain to Tottenham. The breeder pointed out that the choice of destination is the responsibility of the player, as well as his career advisors, and that the success or failure of this decision can only be achieved over time. He said he is not in a position to give advice to players, but he is aware of the requests that can be made to him.

At the same time, Gianluigi Donnarumma confirmed his imminent transfer to Manchester City. After losing his place in Paris Saint-Germain following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier, the Italian goalkeeper is in the final phase of negotiations with the Pep Guardiola club, looking for a new professional project. This opportunity is all the more clear as Ederson, the current Manchester City goaltender, is expected to join the Fenerbahçe soon, thus freeing up a place for Donnarumma.

The new coach of Squadra Azzurra, Gennaro Gattuso, also confirmed the transfer of Donnarumma, stating that the guardian still has to finalize certain administrative aspects, including medical examinations and the signing of the contract with Manchester City. These two transfers mark important movements in the transfer market, illustrating the ambitions of the clubs and the career choices of the players during this period of summer mercato.
