Marseille
There are clubs in England and France following Pape Gueye. At the moment there are still no advanced negotiations with any club, so the situation is quiet; but I’m sure we’ll have to keep an eye on him in 2023.
Palmeiras
Endrick’s father Douglas: “There’s nothing decided for Real Madrid or any other club. We’ve no preference yet. We’ll decide in the next months, the club that will pay what Palmeiras want and show us the best technical project for Endrick, will sign the boy.”
PSG
Paris Saint-Germain are one of the clubs showing an interest in signing Endrick, but they will face competition from Chelsea and Real Madrid. The 16-year-old wonderkid has a release clause of €60m.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid are one of the clubs keen to sign Endrick from Palmeiras, but they will face competition from Chelsea and PSG. The 16-year-old wonderkid has a release clause of €60m.
Fran Garcia: “I’ve always said it and never hidden it: one of my dreams is to return to Real Madrid. My return to Real last summer depended on certain movements, movements that didn’t happen.”

Tottenham
Antonio Conte on Tottenham’s transfer plans: “I don’t know what the club will do in January. But life will always be more difficult in England in the future as many clubs will spend big money. It’s better to be honest, to tell the truth to the fans – always.”
I think it’s important to pay tribute to the work Fabio Paratici has done in a relatively short time at Tottenham. If not for him, it would have been much harder for them to bring in Antonio Conte as manager. Now they’re doing a great job together, making Tottenham more competitive in the Premier League and the Champions League.
Paratici has made some great signings, such as Cristian Romero and Dejan Kulusevski – not easy deals. And also keeping Harry Kane was crucial. Paratici arrived in 2021 and that’s when Kane was keen to leave the club when Manchester City wanted him. Paratici and Conte have done great work to convince Kane that this is a more ambitious project, and now the situation is completely different.
For the future, there is also Destiny Udogie – a top young player that we know all about in Italy. Top Serie A clubs wanted him, but he’ll be joining Tottenham next year and looks a terrific signing for the future. This is all part of the work done by Paratici, he has made a big difference. Now we just have to see what will happen with Conte’s contract, and with other signings. Tottenham know the project needs to continue and they want to keep building.
Wolves
Wolves have officially announced the appointment of former Real Madrid and Spain manager Julen Lopetegui as their new head coach.
