Renato Sanches praises Ligue 1: “It is very physical & very competitive.”

Speaking in an interview with the official Lille website, Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches complimented the quality of Ligue 1.

“It took me time to adapt to my new life, it took me about a month… each league has their weak points and strong points. The French league is very physical, very competitive, there are an enormous amount of talented players. If you take PSG out if it, all the teams are worthy of each other. This is the league that most closely resembles the Premier League of the divisions that I have played in. It is very physical and very quick, you have to constantly be on it.”

PSG reject new €15m bid from Atletico Madrid for Edinson Cavani

L’Équipe report this evening that PSG today received a 2nd formal written offer this month from Atletico Madrid for Edinson Cavani.

Les Parisiens rejected the offer, worth €15m, as they feel that it does not tally with their valuation. Sources contacted by Get French Football News indicate that Sporting Director Leonardo is seeking €25m in order to sell El Matador this month.

As a result, the newspaper advances that Atletico Madrid have spent the day looking at other potential targets in attack.

Will Atletico Madrid make a third proposal? Cavani will in any case not be involved tomorrow evening in the Coupe de France against Pau.

Leandro Paredes: “Edinson Cavani asks me a lot about playing for Boca Juniors.”

Speaking in an interview with Argentinian radio AM 630, PSG central midfielder Leandro Paredes talked about the keen interest that some of his current team-mates have been taking in his time at Boca Juniors, notably Edinson Cavani.

“A lot of guys in the dressing room ask me what Boca Juniors was like, the fans, playing at la Bombonera. With Cavani I have spoken a lot about them and he would like to play there. I think that he wants another one or two years in Europe. Then, it would certainly please him to go to Boca. He is perfect for Boca.”

Cavani is out of contract with Les Parisiens this summer.

Kalidou Koulibaly has purchased a luxury apartment in Paris

Le Parisien report that Senegalese international central defender Kalidou Koulibaly is interested in a possible move to PSG in summer.

Currently under contract with Napoli until 2023, the player is interested in taking Thiago Silva’s place in the PSG starting XI next summer. The outlet claims that the 28-year-old wants a change of scenery for next season, with a source close to the player adding: 

“He has kind of done Italy… he wants to continue to play in the Champions’ League, to be a part of a top European club’s project, whilst advancing his career.”

Koulibaly has recently purchased a luxury apartment in Paris worth €4m. A 200m squared property that is currently under renovation and will be ready to live in from the beginning of 2021. None of this means that he will sign for PSG this summer. Napoli will want at least €75m to sell, which is a sizeable amount. A number of other clubs are also interested – the outlet notes that Koulibaly was initially more excited about a move to Manchester City than PSG, but the club’s recent suspension from the Champions’ League could change that perspective.

Hans-Joachim Watzke: “The pressure is not on our shoulders, it is on PSG’s.”

Speaking in an interview with RMC Sport show “Footissime,” Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke sought to apply pressure to PSG ahead of tonight’s vital Champions’ League 2nd leg Round of 16 clash, which BVB come into with a 2-1 lead from the 1st game.

“It is clear, PSG have much bigger financial means that Borussia Dortmund. I should have perhaps said that the state of Qatar has more means than Borussia Dortmund. And I know that their biggest dream is to win the Champions’ League. For us, it would be super to get into the quarter-finals but we do not have the same level of pressure as PSG… The pressure will not be on our shoulders, but instead on PSG’s shoulders. They have incredible attacking power, with five world class players. That is why this tie still sits at 50-50.”

Adil Rami feels stuck in Russia: “I miss my children, but I’m scared to come back.”

Speaking to RMC Sport, 34-year-old 2018 World Cup winner Adil Rami discussed his COVID-19 experience, with the Frenchman having recently signed for PFC Sochi.

“The league is suspended, it has been stopped, and I personally think that it will go on for longer than expected. On my side I listen to the doctors, I had the chance to anticipate things (take measures of protection), because there is no quarantine in Sochi, even though we have had advice from the club to avoid busy places.”

“The little problem that I have, is that currently everyone is outside here, everyone is living their life, but to go back to France is difficult. I have a contract with Sochi, I am 34… We never know with a trip, there are quarantines a bit all over, I am scared that I might not be able to come back to play football. It remains tricky, I miss my children, but I am going to wait, be patient and to see what happens.”

Speaking to Argentinian publication Olé, Boca Juniors advisor Jorge Bermudez has claimed that PSG striker Edinson Cavani wants to move to the club this summer when his current deal with Les Parisiens expires.

“The Cavani transfer is not just what we want but it is also a possibility. Knowing Juan Riquelme (Boca vice-president), how close he (Edi) is to Forlan and the type of player that he is, I think that this could be done very soon. I hope it is done soon. His arrival would benefit the club, for everything we want to achieve. He is a professional, a man with impressive capabilities, he would give us a big hand if he came to Boca.”

Angers striker Stéphane Bahoken on who he admires most: “Edinson Cavani. At PSG, it has never been easy for him.”

Speaking on an Instagram Live with L’Équipe, Angers striker Stéphane Bahoken sung the praises of PSG attacker Edinson Cavani, naming the Uruguayan as the player that he most admires in Ligue 1.

“Currently, it is Edinson Cavani, for everything he has done in Ligue 1. At PSG, it has never been easy for him: each year, he needs to prove that he is a good player although we all know that he is a good attacker… The entire time he remains dignified, he gives his all and it is something that you have to admire. A lot of players let their heads drop. But him, despite the media pressure, he always gives the best of himself.”
