Liverpool have been plunged into uncertainty over the future of Ibrahima Konate, with the French centre-back yet to commit to a new deal amid mounting interest from European giants Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. The 25-year-old's contract runs until the summer of 2026, but his hesitation to extend has set off alarm bells at Anfield, forcing the club's hierarchy to activate an emergency succession plan for one of their most important players.

I hope that after Christmas, we will have time to get the players back, so the team can face the most important part of the season,

As first reported here for the Daily Briefing, sources have informed me that there's a genuine possibility of Salah leaving Anfield, and the Reds could look to Barcola alongside other targets like Antoine Semenyo as a possible replacement. One issue, however, is that PSG currently prefer to keep Barcola, and could even try tying the 23-year-old down to a new contract, with his current deal due to end in 2028.

Dec 9, 2025, 06:49 AM ET Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele and goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier will both miss Paris Saint-Germain's trip to Athletic Club in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. PSG said Dembele is sick while Chevalier is still recovering from a right ankle injury. It's another setback for Dembele, who returned from a left calf injury against Tottenham Hotspur at the end of November and only made two more appearances in Ligue 1.

It's hard to maintain consistency when you make individual errors. It was our worst match of the season,

Luis Enrique called it their worst match of the season and a very bad night. His players created very little, although it might have been a very different story had the Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara been sent off for his lunge on Lucas Chevalier early in the first half. The France international said his career could have taken a turn and that he considered himself lucky to continue after the tackle that was sanctioned with a yellow, rather than a red.

I arrived here when I was very young, I wanted to enjoy the moment, playing in a big team with my idols. Today I've reached 500 matches, which is no small feat. And as I said in the dressing room, I'm proud to have worn this shirt for so many years and played in all these matches. I think it's very difficult to achieve this. You have to be very motivated, very hungry and competitive because the competition is fierce.

Chelsea and Manchester United are among the clubs monitoring RB Leipzig midfielder Assan Ouédraogo with interest from top clubs is becoming more concrete, Sky Sports Deutschland reports. The 19-year-old, who has registered three goals and three assists for his club so far this season, made waves last week when he scored less than two minutes into his senior international debut for Germany.

The 27-year-old beat Egypt captain Mohamed Salah and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen after helping club side Paris St-Germain to the French title and a maiden Champions League trophy. Hakimi, who missed out on the top spot in 2023 and 2024, became the first Moroccan to win the award since Mustapha Hadji in 1998. Meanwhile, Morocco captain Ghizlane Chebbak won the women's prize, surprisingly seeing off Nigeria captain Rasheedat Ajibade and Atlas Lionesses team-mate Sanaa Mssoudy.

Paris Saint-Germain are preparing an audacious attempt to lure Erling Haaland away from Manchester City, with reports from Fichajes claiming the French champions are willing to table a 200 million offer for the Norwegian superstar in the coming months. The Ligue 1 giants, fresh off winning both the domestic title and the UEFA Champions League, are eager to add a world-class No. 9 as they begin shaping the next phase of their ambitious project.

PSG's Joe Echegini curled an effort against the far post in the second minute, but United gradually grew into the game and after Hinata Miyazawa shot wide, they went ahead through Melvine Malard in the 31st minute. Malard outmuscled Griedge Mbock to reach Jayde Riviere's ball up the right touchline, cut inside, then whipped a fine effort beyond former United goalkeeper Mary Earps.

You may like Pochettino enjoyed a fine playing career, starting off at Newell's Old Boys in his native Argentina before playing under Marcelo Bielsa at Espanyol in Spain. The centre-back moved to PSG in 2001 to play alongside the likes of Ronaldinho and Mikel Arteta in France, and went to the 2002 World Cup, again with Bielsa as his manager. Mauricio Pochettino is perhaps best loved at Spurs

- Real Madrid hold a "genuine interest" in Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven, according to TEAMtalk. Spurs have no intention of losing the 24-year-old leave -- who hit the headlines this week for his stunning solo goal against FC Copenhagen -- but the door could be opened if they fail to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League, with Paris Saint-Germain also closely monitoring the situation.

PSG welcome Ousmane Dembele back into the attack. The Ballon d'Or winner started on the bench for the win over Nice last weekend, but replaces Senny Mayulu in the front three. Marquinhos and Fabian Ruiz are also back in the side, coming in Illia Zabarnyi and Joao Neves. PSG: Chevalier, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Ruiz, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola. Subs: Beraldo, Hernandez, Lee, Marin, Mayulu, Mbaye, Ndjantou, Neves, Ramos, Safonov.
