Latest on Jack Rodwell, Mbappe, Wells and Origi
Can PSG Keep Kylian Mbappe?
PSG may have to sell their French star Kylian Mbappe. The Paris side could be punished next week for breaking UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations. PSG must exercise the clause to sign Mbappe on Monday, with the price being €180 million. This would seriously effect UEFA’s investigations and a quick sale could be on the cards.
Real Madrid are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to pounce should Mbappe become available. Madrid and their fans are desperate to bring in a big name signing before the Spanish transfer window shuts on August 31st.
Rodwell Heading to Blackburn?
Jack Rodwell could sign for Blackburn Rovers in the near future. The midfielder has been without a club since his contract was cancelled by previous club Sunderland. Having moved to the Black Cats from Manchester City, his time on Wearside was a disaster.
He played less than 80 games in four years on Wearside while earning over £70,000 per week, even in the Championship. Having hardly played last season he indicated in January that he did not wish to play for the club again.
Sunderland attempted to offload the midfielder who felt he was still an international class player. However, these attempts came to nothing. Rovers now appear to be about to take a gamble on a player who previously did not want to play Championship football.
A move to Watford failed to materialise this summer and the 27-year-old may be on his last chance to make something of a career that promised so much as a youngster but ultimately failed to deliver. Wages at Blackburn are yet to be announced.
Jack Rodwell saw his wages slashed to £43,000 in the summer before his contract was cancelled.
QPR to Sign Two Premier League Strikers
Championship bottom club Queens Park Rangers are due to complete the signing of Burnley striker Naki Wells. Earlier today, Brighton forward Tomer Hemed joined on a season-long loan.
QPR have had a disastrous start to the season, losing the first four matches. Including a 7-1 hammering at West Brom and a 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Bristol City.
Wells will join on a season-long loan deal and it is understood that there is no obligation to buy. The striker signed for Burnley last summer from Huddersfield Town but has yet to start a game. Derby County were also chasing Wells; however, it now appears that Rangers have won the race.
Origi to Dortmund?
Liverpool striker Divok Origi could be heading to Borussia Dortmund but only if the German side agree to a clause saying they will buy at the end of a loan deal. Liverpool are understood to have valued the player at £27 million. Dortmund believe this to be too high and would prefer a season-long loan deal.
Origi has just two years left on his current contract and Liverpool want to get as much as they can. The Reds are willing to allow the striker to leave on loan but only with an option to buy.
Dortmund would, therefore, want the fee to make the deal permanent lowered before agreeing. Liverpool recently agreed a similar deal with Southampton over Danny Ings. The Reds wanted £24 million but a loan deal with a permanent transfer worth around £18 million plus add-ons was eventually agreed upon.
