      It comes during a stellar campaign for the French international – who has racked up 16 goals and 14 assists in 35 appearances.
      His sensational club form saw him selected in Didier Deschamps’ squad for the World Cup.
      And he went on to score in the semi-final victory over Morocco, before Emi Martinez denied him a dramatic winner in the final as Argentina lifted the trophy.
      Kolo Muani’s rapid rise has caught the attention of Man Utd as Erik ten Hag prepares to bolster his forward line in the summer.

      Man Utd target Victor Osimhen at centre of investigation into Napoli after joining in bizarre swap transfer

      Napoli are 19 points clear but there are nerves off the pitch over star Victor Osimhen .
      It is no surprise that both Chelsea and Manchester United want to sign the Nigerian, 24, who has 25 goals this term.
      There is concern the move which brought Osimhen from Lille in a £70.1million deal in 2020 could give the club a major problem.
      Juventus suffered a 15-point penalty for false accounting to inflate player transfer values and falsify FFP.

      It looks as though Napoli may have done something similar. The Naples Public Prosecutor’s Office has asked for a six-month extension to an investigation into the transfer and will make a decision in the summer.
      And it is because £17.5m of that Osimhen transfer was made up of four players who went the other way to Lille.
      These were keeper Orestis Karnezis and three youth-team players, Luigi Liguori, Claudio Manzi and Ciro Palmieri.
      None of those four players, including Karnezis, who was 35 at the time, ever played for Lille.

      Some of them have never been to the French city as their deals were soon cancelled and the younger players are in non-league.
      It seems obvious that the actual deal was about Osimhen and a way of spending money on young players which are not included in FFP rules.
      Napoli could be in trouble. But by the time they are dealt with, Osimhen may be in the Premier League.
      The Nigerian recently aid of his future at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium: “When you are doing so well, top clubs around the world are watching, mostly in the top five leagues.
      “And to be able to be attract interest from these top clubs shows that I am doing great and it gives me the motivation to do even more for myself and my team.
      “But I am focused on Napoli right now and they have the final say. I just want to help my team to win matches and win trophies.
      “At the end of the season, we will see what is going to happen, but that is not up to me. It is for the club to decide.”

      CELTIC are known for their incredible support when playing in friendlies south of the border.

      TOTTENHAM’S superb training-ground complex is now the official London home of the England senior team.
      While the squad met up at St George’s Park for tomorrow’s game against Italy, they will return to London to train — and also sleep — at Spurs’ practice facilities in Enfield.
      England first used Spurs’ complex in 2017 as Arsenal, the previous hosts, were revamping their pitches at London Colney.
      Gareth Southgate and his players still stayed at the Grove Hotel, near Watford, and commuted to Hotspur Way.

      But before beginning life in the Primeira Liga, he spent five years at Anfield.
      He only racked up 16 appearances across three seasons, scoring one goal.
      And Grujic was eventually farmed out on loan to Hertha Berlin, before permanently leaving for Porto.
      Now he could be poised for a Premier League return as Telegraf understand that Man Utd are interested in him.

      Barcelona LOSE appeal to register wonderkid Gavi as first-team player putting Man Utd and Liverpool on transfer alert

      by

      BARCELONA’S second attempt to register wonderkid Gavi as a first-team player has been REJECTED in court.The Nou Camp giants had their original effort turned down by LaLiga back in January as the club were also banned from adding to their squad.
      Barcelona have suffered a huge blow in their attempt to keep hold of GaviCredit: Getty
      However, Mundo Deportivo is reporting that the club’s appeal against overturning the first-team registration of Gavi has been rejected.
      Barcelona registered Gavi as a first-team player on January 31 after obtaining a precautionary measure from the court.
      However, LaLiga filed an appeal against the same as they cited the fact that Xavi’s side had missed the deadline.
      The court allegedly ruled in favour of the Spanish league earlier this month but no concrete verdict was reached as Gavi was allowed to continue as a first-team member.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      But this fresh update states the financially troubled club appealed against the ruling last Wednesday but had their appeal rejected by the 10th Commercial Court of Barcelona.
      That means that Gavi, who is a full Spanish international, will no longer be counted as a first-team member and must revert back to his youth contract until the end of the season.
      And in what could be a huge boost for Manchester United, the attacker will also be deregistered for the next season as Barcelona have exceeded their salary limit.
      As we reported previously, the Nou Camp club had thought the departures of Memphis Depay and Gerard Pique would allow them to register Gavi.

      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST FOOTBALL BETTING SITES IN THE UK
      Gavi has been a key player for Barcelona this season
      Barca have a negative balance, which is largely due to their Champions League exit in the group stages, and so LaLiga did not validate Gavi’s extension.
      Barca will now have to significantly reduce their wage bill in summer, or find new sponsorships to register contracts.
      We revealed how they could be set to unload some of their biggest stars as the troubled club look to raise £178m.
      The Spanish giants face a summer of no incoming signings after wild spending left the club struggling to reign in their costs.
      Player sales appear the most likely way to get the situation under control and Premier League clubs are among those who could be circling.
      United and Liverpool have been joined by Bayern Munich in the race to sign Gavi.

      But he is not the only one that could be going out the exit door.
      Ex-Leeds star Raphinha, who only arrived at the Nou Camp a year ago, and fellow United target Frenkie de Jong are among 10 players who could also be sold to free up funds. More

      Disasi’s form for Les Monegasques earned him a place in Didier Deschamps’ France World Cup squad in November.
      And according to French outlet Foot Mercato, he could soon be on the move.
      They claim that Disasi’s agents met with Man United chiefs a fortnight ago to discuss a potential transfer.
      The 25-year-old will have two years remaining on his Monaco contract this summer, with the Ligue 1 club set to demand at least £44million for his signature.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Foot Mercato’s report adds that United are coveting a “solid and strong player” that is “dominant” in physical duels – with Disasi fitting the bill.
      In a further boost to the Red Devils’ hopes, Disasi admitted that the Prem is his “favourite” league in the world.
      Asked about his future by RMC after checking in for international duty, he said: “I like England, it’s a very exciting championship, we’ll say it’s my favourite championship.”
      United are set to receive competition from Paris Saint-Germain for Disasi’s signature – but the man himself remained coy on his next destination.

      He added: “And between Paris and the Premier League? The place where I can progress the most.”
      Disasi originally hails from Gonesse, a suburb of the French capital, and came through the ranks at Ligue 2 side Paris FC.
      He subsequently moved to Reims in 2016, spending four years at Stade Auguste-Delaune and helping them win the Ligue 2 title before signing for Monaco.
      The 6ft 3in ace has gone on to play 119 times for Monaco, including in the Champions League.
      SunSport revealed a fortnight ago that PSG are lining up a shock £50m swoop for Man United skipper Harry Maguire.
      The 30-year-old has endured a tough campaign at Old Trafford, starting just five Prem games.
      Maguire last week admitted that he’d like to play more, but stressed that team success is the most important thing.
      He told BT Sport: “Obviously, I want to play more, I want to start more games, but I’m playing my part on and off the field.

      “It’s nice to be out there leading the team and getting the victory, which is the most important part for myself and the club.
      “I’ve got an important role on and off the field at this club and every day I try to make this club succeed, whether I’m playing or not.”
