Lyon is getting closer to the Anthony Lopes deal
The future of Anthony Lopes has been the subject of much speculation this summer in France as his contract with Lyon is heading towards his last year. Lopes is one of the club's oldest players, and another impressive campaign between last season's last term posts would have sparked strong demands for the renewal of his contract at Groupama stadium.
Lopes, which has been capped seven times by Portugal, has asked for a doubling of his salary to place it in the same salary bracket as the high salaries of Lyon. Representatives of the 28-year-old also asked Lopes for a five-year contract in recognition of his reliability for six years as a first-choice goalkeeper.
The president of Lyon, Jean-Michel Aulas, had suggested earlier this summer that it was unlikely that a five-year deal would be concluded, but Aulas told reporters Thursday that an agreement was in place. close. "We are about to reach an agreement with Anthony Lopes," he said. "The fact that it takes time does not mean it's complicated."
Lopes was linked to Portugal, Porto and the Spanish team in Valencia, before Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen was announced. However, being born and raised in France (with Portuguese parents) and with Lyon since the age of 9, staying at Les Gones has always been Lopes' priority.
Monaco the target for Adrien Silva
Former midfielder Sporting Adrien Silva has not concealed his dissatisfaction within the current Leicester club and the Portuguese have once again expressed his desire to obtain a definitive transfer to Monaco Leonardo Jardim.
Silva's time in Leicester has been tainted from the beginning. The Foxes have paid more than 25 million euros to Sporting to exceed the transfer deadline of summer 2017. However, Silva's documentation reached FIFA only 14 seconds after the deadline. He could not play for Leicester before opening the window.
Silva has never really recovered from the back, trying to impress his coach Claude Puel when he is finally available. A loan transfer to Monaco in January, concluded as part of an exchange providing for a transfer from Yuri Tielemans to England, gave a fresh start to the 30-year-old athlete and Silva flourished under Jardim.
A permanent agreement for Tielemans to stay in England has been confirmed, but Silva remains with Leicester and is not sure of his future. The midfielder has criticized the club for its treatment during the player exchange negotiations on long-term contracts earlier this summer, and now, Silva has once again declared his desire to end his stay in Leicester .
"Leicester was an experience I did not really appreciate, so with the club, we decided to look for a solution together," said Silva earlier in the week. "It did not start well and it was a difficult experience in terms of emotional stability.
"I wanted to discover the Premier League and I had the opportunity to do it. I saw what I wanted to see. Now my priority is to be happy and for that I have to be on the ground.
"When you do not play a lot, the rest does not work either. From the point of view of the family, it was difficult to adapt too, the way of life is completely different, especially for children. All this did not help me. In fact, I have never managed to make up for those six months without playing. "
"Monaco my priority, I will never forget what the club did for me, I was very good at this club, I enjoyed working with Leonardo Jardim."
Manuel Fernandes will he stay in Moscow?
Portuguese international Manuel Fernandes has not yet decided on his decision after the end of his contract with Russia's Lokomotiv Moscow, which expired at the end of last season. The midfielder has long been badociated with a return to Turkey, where he spent three and a half years in Besiktas, Galatasaray and Goztepe in pursuit of the latter, aged 33.
Staying with Lokomotiv, with whom Fernandes helped the Champions League with a winning goal on the last weekend of the season, has now emerged as the most likely outcome. However, with the pre-season camps taking place in several countries and the new Russian season already started, Fernandes must see its future organize as quickly as possible.
"We continue to talk with Lokomotiv," said the player's agent, Paulo Barbosa. "Both parties want to sign the contract so we can see if we can do it. He trains twice a day in Moscow to keep fit. His situation should be resolved soon. "
Meanwhile, former Sporting and Porto defender Miguel Lopes has gone from relegated Akhisarspor to Kayserispor in Turkey, while Reading manager José Gomes has signed a loan agreement with 39, a year for the young guardian of Everton, João Virgínia, and the second Romanian club, Universitatea Cluj. The Portuguese have signed their first birthday after the arrival of former Rio Ave striker Rafa.
