Despite a disastrous start to the season and a 17th place in Ligue 1 after five matches, Marseille still has full confidence in Bruno Genesio. In an interview with L'Equipe, sporting director Grégory Lorenzi assured that the recent comments from the Marseille coach on the club's financial difficulties and his frustration towards Frank McCourt did not threaten his future. The coach has committed to the club until 2028, and there is no issue with his position.
Dani Carvajal was on the verge of committing to Getafe, but the deal collapsed on Wednesday. According to Cadena Ser, the free transfer of the Spanish right-back was blocked by the financial committee of La Liga due to concerns over a salary deemed "unrealistic." Before leaving Real Madrid last summer, Carvajal earned an annual salary of 10 million euros, while at Getafe he would have earned only 400,000 euros per year. La Liga suspects the existence of indirect income intended to convince a player who was among the best paid in the league a few months ago.
Paris Saint-Germain spent 3.3 million euros on Sporting Braga to obtain a pre-emption right on Mario Dorgeles (22 years old). The operation appears in the financial report published by the Portuguese club on Friday. PSG will thus have priority in case of a future sale of the Ivorian midfielder. Dorgeles was recruited by Braga from FC Nordsjaelland for 11.5 million euros during the summer of 2025.
Mikel Arteta has extended his contract with Arsenal until June 2030. The Spanish coach, who has been with the club since December 2019, was under contract until the end of the season. This extension follows his success in bringing the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League last season and reaching the Champions League final.
Juventus may have difficulty keeping Kenan Yildiz next year, especially in case of another sporting failure, which would force the Turin club to sell more than expected. According to Corriere dello Sport, three clubs are monitoring the situation of the Turkish international: Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and especially Real Madrid, already interested in the past. Juventus will demand at least 100 million euros to part with Yildiz, whose contract was extended until June 2030 at the beginning of the year.
