Constant rumeurs evoked the interest of Olympique de Marseille (OM) for Maliick Fofanà, wingman of Olympique Lyonnais (OL). However, it appears that this approach was mainly a collection of information aimed at exerting pressure on Feyenoord’s leaders in the Igor Paixão case, a player also targeted by OM. The Marseille club is said to have already engaged in discussions with representatives of the young Belgian winger, 20 years old, but OL claims that OM has limited itself to a fake contact. The main obstacle to the arrival of Peaceão lies in its price, set at 40 million euros by Feyenoord, a sum that the Dutch player and club are willing to accept, but that OM hesitates to pay against competition and financial challenges.

Moreover, the future of Thiago Almada, an Argentinean OL background, is uncertain. Several European clubs, including Benfica and Atlético de Madrid, are interested in his profile. While OL was considering a new loan for the player, Benfica contacted Almada, opening promising discussions. The Atlético de Madrid also entered the race, having already become aware of the conditions of the potential transfer. Almada, under contract with Botafogo until 2029, made a season 20 under OL’s jersey, with 2 goals and 5 assists on his loan.

In terms of women’s football, the German team conceded a heavy 4-1 defeat against Sweden in its last game of pool, which condemned her to second place in his group. This position could have important consequences for the quarterfinals, where the Germans could face France if the Blues retained the first place in their group. Despite a promising start to the game with a goal from Julie Branda in the 7th minute, the German team had three goals between the 12th and 34th minutes. In addition, Carlotta Wamsler’s red granted a penalty, aggravating the situation.
