Man City Willing to Replace Ederson With £26M-Rated Chelsea, Man Utd Target Amid PSG Doubt
Gianluigi Donnarumma's future at PSG looks uncertain after the club signed Lucas Chevalier. With that move, Donnarumma will likely need to find a new long-term team, and rumors are linking him to Manchester United. CentreDevils recently reported that Manchester United have held direct talks about signing Donnarumma. The 26-year-old keeper is reportedly a target for Ruben Amorim, who is said to be a big fan. The report notes that Donnarumma's experience and talent could be a key addition at Old Trafford as Amorim works on rebuilding the squad this summer. Journalist Ben Jacobs also shared that PSG is asking for £26 million, with Donnarumma having just one year left on his contract after the club decided not to offer an extension. Does Man City have the edge for PSG outcast?On Tuesday, RMC Sport's Fabrice Hawkins reported that Manchester City will monitor Donnarumma if Ederson leaves the club. Negotiations are ongoing with the goalkeeper's side, and personal terms won't be an issue as Donnarumma is keen on the move. Meanwhile, RMC Sport reported Monday that Chelsea and Manchester United have inquired about Donnarumma's situation. But this case is far from settled; for now, it is just a simple expression of interest from the two English clubs. On the latest episode of the Ensemble PSG Podcast, Robin Bairner, chief editor at Football Transfers, commented on the rumor linking Donnarumma to Manchester United. 'Well, our understanding at Football Transfers is that Manchester United are naturally interested in a goalkeeper,' Bairner said. 'Andre Onana hasn't been up to the standard that they had expected when they signed him. So naturally, Manchester United step into this equation. Whether Gianluigi Donnarumma is prepared to go to United, where they don't have European football this year, of course, that's debatable. 'And of course, there's a whole heap of sales that Manchester United are likely to have to make now to be able to afford to sign Donnarumma because of financial fair play. They've obviously made three big signings now, having announced Sesko. So there are complications there.'

Achraf Hakimi's lawyer highlights inconsistencies in the complainant's account
Achraf Hakimi's lawyer told RMC Sport: «In cases of rape or sexual assault, we find in 99.9% of them psychological assessments indicating symptoms, post-traumatic stress, nightmares, weight gain, weight loss. However, in this case, none of that is present». On Friday, the public prosecutor's office in Nanterre, France, officially requested that Moroccan footballer Achraf Hakimi be referred to the regional criminal court in the Hauts-de-Seine department on charges of rape, an accusation the player has consistently denied, maintaining his innocence. «The prosecution, which represents the accusing party, is doing its job by trying to gather evidence that could incriminate the accused», the lawyer continued. «But I've reviewed the case file, and I can confirm there are numerous elements that exonerate my client». «It will be up to the defense to highlight these elements. In this case, we will fight to the end for the truth to come out, and for it to be said and heard that Achraf Hakimi said nothing, did nothing, and is not guilty». She also said she felt «calm» about the possibility of a trial, questioning the complainant's account, which she described as «contradictory». requested access to the complainant's phone to review messages she had not previously provided. Among the texts was one sent at midnight, in which the woman wrote to a friend, «Oh, I'm so angry, haha». Her friend Nadia replied with an unusual suggestion: «Listen to the song À l'abri by Fresh La Peufra» which opens with the lyrics, «I had no choice, I had to take risks to protect the family». Nadia went on to advise Amelie: «Go to him with the persona of a seductive woman», and followed up with a suspicious message: «Try to get the codes and everything», before adding, «We will rob him», and concluding with, «We are girls from the street». During his interrogation, Hakimi recounted: «We were exchanging text messages. She told me she was working, and I respected that. We continued exchanging kisses, which became a bit longer, and I placed my hand on her lower back. Then she told me: nothing will happen on the first meeting. I respected her stance and said, 'Okay.' We continued kissing, but she was using her phone again» The incident allegedly took place on February 25, 2023, when a 24-year-old woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by Hakimi at his home in Boulogne-Billancourt. This followed about a month of texting on Instagram, culminating in their first in-person meeting. According to her account, Hakimi arranged an Uber to bring her to his home, where she says he harassed and assaulted her despite her clear refusal. She also mentioned sending a text message to a friend asking for help, something her friend later confirmed to police. Later that same day, the woman went to a police station in the Paris suburbs to give her testimony, though she initially chose not to file an official complaint. On March 3, 2023, Hakimi was formally charged with rape.

Lawyer Says ‘Strong Evidence' Clears Hakimi as Mbappé Stands by Him in Rape Case
Rabat – Achraf Hakimi's lawyer, Fanny Colin, says there is 'strong evidence' that clears the Moroccan football star of any wrongdoing, as French prosecutors officially requested a rape trial against him. 'We will fight until the end to make sure the truth comes out and that it is clearly said and understood that Achraf Hakimi did not do or say anything wrong,' Colin told RMC Sport. She added that the accusations are based on a version of events that she considers 'incoherent' and lacking any signs of trauma usually seen in similar cases. The case dates back to February 2023, when a 24-year-old woman accused Hakimi of forcing her into a non-consensual sexual act at his home near Paris. The public prosecutor's office in Nanterre asked on Friday for the 26-year-old to be tried by a criminal court. Hakimi has firmly denied the allegations since the beginning of the investigation. Now, the decision lies with the investigating judge, who will determine whether the case will go to trial. If convicted, Hakimi could face up to 15 years in prison. His lawyer also questioned the woman's story, calling it inconsistent. 'In 99.9% of sexual assault cases, there is at least some sign of trauma, whether it's nightmares, weight changes, or anything else. Here, there is nothing,' she argued. Colin added that she remains calm even if a trial happens, saying the truth will come out. 'Never seen him behave inappropriately' The alleged incident happened on February 25, 2023, one day before a big PSG match that Hakimi missed. The woman says she met the footballer through Instagram and was driven to his house in a car ordered by him. She claims he kissed her and touched her without consent, even after she told him no. She says she managed to push him away and called a friend to pick her up. French football star Kylian Mbappé, who was a close teammate of Hakimi at Paris Saint-Germain, also gave a statement to the police. He defended his friend, saying, 'Achraf Hakimi is respectful toward women. Even when drinking, I've never seen him behave inappropriately.' He added that he had never heard of any women saying Hakimi had crossed the line. Mbappé also talked about the night Hakimi found out about the investigation, saying he cried and was emotionally shaken. Mbappé supported the idea that the case might be a setup, pointing to messages from the woman that suggest a plan to get money from Hakimi. In one text, the woman reportedly wrote, 'We're going to rob him!' although she later said it was just a joke to relieve stress. The case has resurfaced at a sensitive time for Hakimi, who is said to be gaining international support for his performance on the field and is reportedly being considered in the race for the Ballon d'Or. Some fans and commentators now question whether the renewed focus on the case is part of a campaign against him just as he is reaching new career heights. Tags: Achraf Hakimirapetrial

Achraf Hakimi gains French media support for Ballon d'Or candidacy
Following a widespread Moroccan social media campaign, French sports media is now backing Achraf Hakimi's candidacy for the Ballon d'Or, as the debate intensifies ahead of the vote. On RMC Sport, football analyst Jean-Michel Larqué argued that Hakimi deserves recognition, stating that «it would be good for football» to see a defender win the award. He praised the Moroccan international for having «reinvented the full-back position» and called the PSG duo of Hakimi and Nuno Mendes «by far the best pair of full-backs in the world». Kevin Diaz, speaking on the After Foot show, went further, saying he would rank Hakimi as his top pick, citing the player's consistency and overall career. He also pointed to Hakimi's standout stats this season, 10 goals and 12 assists, «the stats of a forward in many leagues», he noted. Football legends like Cafu and Ronaldo (the Brazilian) have also publicly supported Hakimi's nomination. French commentators emphasize his versatility and influence on modern football, highlighting his ability to play both as a defender and an attacking midfielder. While names like Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembélé are among the current frontrunners, some voices in the French media argue that defenders like Hakimi deserve more recognition and that breaking the tradition of favoring attacking players would be a positive shift for the award. For the record, the 69th edition of the Ballon d'Or will take place on Monday, September 22, at the iconic Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.
