Gossip: Mourinho identifies the ideal CB for less than 100 million euros.

GOOD EDER
It is fairly widely accepted that Jose Mourinho's signing of center-center to Manchester United is Kalidou Koulibaly. But if he is honest, he knows that it will never happen: Koulibaly is 27 years old and he would probably have a world record for a defender. Not understanding.

Toby Alderweireld will probably be next on the list, followed by names such as Jerome Boateng, Diego Godin, Skriniar Milan, Harry Maguire and Joachim Andersen. None will come particularly cheap.

So Mourinho is now looking elsewhere and Duncan Castles says his master has come up with a solution. A guy called Eder Militao is torn in Porto, he is young and would not cost so much.

In an article in the Daily Record, Castles says Militao "has been identified as an individual who fits Manchester United's preferred strategy of recruiting young talents ready to become elite players." Who else is waiting for the exciting Nemanja Matic and Alexis Sanchez to realize their potential?

Porto "would expect to make a big profit" on a player he signed for a derisory salary. "An agreement could be concluded for much less than the 100 million euros," boasts Matthijs de Ligt, which really does not mean much. 50 million pounds, that 's a lot less than 100 million pounds, and still would be a lot of money.

Manchester City and Everton are also interested, Mourinho wanting a half-center "with both superior defensive skills" to his current options, as well as "the personality and experience to lead and martialize his back line". Wait until he finds Marcos Rojo in the back of the closet.

We were in Paris
PSG does not abandon his pursuit of Fabinho. They were beaten to Liverpool by Liverpool in the summer and still tend towards an injured ego. He is always the man that they want.

According to L'Equipe, Wednesday's Champions League clash against Liverpool could be used to try to get things done. Jurgen Klopp described the suggestions "The crazy" could already make think of the struggling midfielder, but the PSG seems determined to test his determination.

The team said Wednesday's match "could also be an opportunity" for PSG leaders "to provoke a transfer with their English counterparts". You'd think the two would have bigger things in mind, like qualifying and all the rest.

But no: the PSG "think to reposition themselves on Fabinho this winter and could evoke the subject very quickly". The absence of an alternative "forces them not to waste time en route".

Liverpool signed Fabinho for £ 43.7m. He may not have gotten to work, but in the unlikely event that they seek to sell it, they will not want to reduce their losses. He is 25 years old, has already excelled in France and is a Brazilian international. Cough or bad, PSG.
