everton And ipswich town OH Leuven defender Rogerio is one of several European suitors for Nyakosi.

Foot Mercato report that a raft of sides are showing interest in the 22-year-old centre-back thanks to his performances in Belgium.

Everton and Ipswich in the mix

Rogerio Nyakosi is enjoying a ‘remarkable comeback’ in Belgium after ‘unofficially’ leaving Olympique de Marseille in January 2025, the website reveals.

He is now seen as one of Europe’s most promising defenders and as a result, is poised to become a key figure in the summer transfer window.

RC Strasbourg and Olympique Lyonnais are pushing hard for his signature, but they are not alone. Several German and English clubs are also in the mix, while Marseille have a buy-back clause they can also use.

Everton and Ipswich Town are the two English sides named in the report. He has focused on the defender. Liverpool had shown interest earlier also Which the defender was curious about.

He has been described as a defender who is ‘formidable in duels’, ‘also dominant in the air’ and ‘particularly technically talented’. He is also strong on the ball and enjoys excellent passing ability in the high line. In other words, he is an ideal modern center back.

€8m asking price

Their change ‘has whetted the appetite’, while OH Leuven would want at least €8m from any sale. This is a 10x profit on their original purchase.

Everton and Ipswich fans are in droves. These include Feyenoord, Augsburg, Hoffenheim, Stuttgart and Werder Bremen. FM’s own information is that Strasbourg and Lyon could also be added. The French pair have already made inquiries.

Marseille could get him back for €6m this summer. This is a section that can prove to be a very smart addition to the core sales.

But the final decision will remain with the player. It remains to be seen whether he wants to return to the club where it all started, or move elsewhere.

Aston Villa’s growing interest in Ibrahim Mbaye is now being supported by reports coming from France, with the forward’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain beginning to attract wider attention.

Aston Villa have made a habit of tracking young attackers across Europe. When a path opens, they start moving forward. In Mbaye’s case, his reduced role at Paris Saint-Germain could pave the way.

The 18-year-old is highly rated internally in Paris. He is powerful, direct and tactically sharp for his age. These qualities make him a natural fit for Premier League football. However, his actions declined at a critical stage of his development.

This is where the current noise begins to form.

France supports Premier League interest

according to TeamIbrahim Mbaye is expected to receive approaches this summer, with England highlighted as a possible destination.

The French outlet says his playing time has decreased significantly under Luis Enrique. That situation is already raising questions about his short-term future.

Interest from the Premier League is nothing new. The clubs made contact in January, but PSG refused to entertain any discussions. Since then, the context has changed slightly, even though the club’s public stance has remained firm.

Aston Villa are now among those positioning themselves. From their perspective, Mbaye represents a classic market opportunity. A young player, strong international momentum, but limited appearances at the club.

There have also been links to Manchester City. Reports suggest he visited their facilities, although his entourage has denied that claim. Still, the level of interest around him is palpable.

International format strengthens the case

Ibrahim Mbaye’s performances with the Senegal national team continue to push his profile upwards.

He recently provided one goal and one assist in matches against Peru and Gambia. This followed a promising Africa Cup of Nations campaign earlier this year. As a result, his international trajectory looks far more stable than his club role.

Luis Enrique has insisted that the club still believes in him. He highlighted the confidence given to Mbye and suggested that his time would come. Still, lack of minutes remains a major issue.

At the age of 18, regular football often dictates the next step. Without it, even top prospects start looking elsewhere.

busy summer is coming

Ibrahim Mbaye’s priority remains PSG. This has not changed publicly. However, L’Equipe’s reporting reinforces the idea that he is now watching the market more closely.

If his situation does not improve before the summer, Premier League clubs are likely to act quickly. Aston Villa already appear to be alert to that possibility.

For now, it remains a nascent movement rather than a defined conversation. Still, the combination of fewer minutes and outside interest is starting to create a familiar transfer pattern.

Aston Villa have made their transfer plans for the summer, the player has been described as ‘meteoric rise’.

In the last few weeks, sports witness Inter Milan have closely monitored Arsenal’s interest in Francesco Pio Esposito.

It’s no surprise, the Italian has reached new heights this season. He was one of the best players in Serie B during his loan stint at Spezia in the 2024/25 season, before returning to the Nerazzurri.

He has two Champions League goals in the current campaign. He has contributed to 13 goals in all competitions, which is the biggest indicator of how far he has come.

The striker is arguably one of the best players in the world. More has now emerged regarding Inter’s stance on Arsenal’s interest.

Gunner tops for Esposito

interest The report on the young player, makes it clear that he is seen as the future of Inter.

The Nerazzurri’s Champions League exit has left him confident about building a young backbone. This makes them keen to build a squad around Esposito and they would not even accept €100m to carry out his sale.

‘Most notably Arsenal’ There is interest, but there is also intrigue from other Premier League clubs. However, Inter have no intention of accepting any offer, and are confident of having the player in their possession for the long term.

His signing is part of a new youth policy at the club, which has seen them target Ismael Kone, Pietro Comuzzo and Aleksandar Stankovic.

Arsenal can be used

Given how often Arsenal have been talked about, this feels like an attempt to showcase Esposito’s stature and how he has grown.

The 20-year-old player’s current contract expires in 2030. There have been suggestions about a new deal which could make the Gunners’ task even more difficult.

Furthermore, the London club spent heavily on Victor Gyöckeres. They would be unlikely to spend much on another striker.
