Lucas Digne, a coveted “tricard” … Xavi asks Dembélé for “an effort” …

Lucas Digne will say goodbye to the Toffees

For several weeks on the Everton side, relations between Rafael Benítez and Lucas Digne have resembled those between Frédégonde and Brunehaut, for fans of the Merovingian period, which we know to be numerous.

In order to prevent the situation from degenerating as it did then, one of the two must go. Even if the Spanish coach’s position is weakened by the Toffees’ 15th place in the Premier League, it is the 28-year-old left-back who should go first. Chelsea are said to have their eye on the most tattooed France international around, as the Gazzetta dello Sport announces interest from Inter Milan. Nice rebound in perspective.

Dembélé and Barça, continuation but not end

We told you on Monday that “Dembouz” was going to occupy our transfer window newspaper throughout this month of January. This is confirmed this Tuesday with the last statements of Xavi at a press conference. “I am calm and I am waiting,” said the coach of FC Barcelona, ​​who will see the French winger go free this summer if the latter does not extend. Now it depends on Ousmane and his representatives. Simply, the situation is this: Ousmane should make an effort and think about his future and the best for him would be to stay at Barca. “

And, the better to drive the point home: “Nowhere will he be happier than here.” It is true that the Tibidabo and PortAventura parks are nice.

Alvaro laughs at rumors

He doesn’t play much, but he doesn’t want to leave. Alvaro Gonzalez may have been born in a village in Cantabria, at the foot of the superb Picos de Europa, he is more Marseillais than JuL or Patrick Bosso since his arrival at OM in July 2019.

Oh yes??? Thank you???? https://t.co/meR4cjc9BW

On Twitter, the 31-year-old Spanish defender has split a beautiful smiley that is crying with laughter to be ironic about the information that sends him to Strasbourg, or even to Bordeaux. It remains to be seen whether the leaders of Marseille share the same sense of humor.
