Plus, Real Madrid will feel heartened by the latest news in the Kylian Mbappe saga and an Arsenal star wants out. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right into it.

Salah's contract secret

Last year's contract talks between Mo Salah and Liverpool were the subject of an interesting Havard study that shed light on the process that ultimately led to the Egyptian's renewal.

Mbappe to Madrid picking up steam?

Paris Saint-Germain are in red-hot form and should they finally manage to win get their hands on the Champions League, Kylian Mbappe will almost certainly depart in 2024.

But it may not even have to come to this. According to LaLiga president Javier Tebas, there is a '70-80%' chance that Mbappe will move next year.

Should Real Madrid fail to land the Frenchman, they may already know the perfect alternative.

Ramsdale out?

According to Jamie Carragher, Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale can't be happy with his current situation and will demand a January move.

In fact, an unlikely club could be the massive beneficiaries of the uncertainty surrounding the England shot-stopper.

Chelsea madness

Chelsea have endured a torrid start to the season and they are still paying - literally - for their ill-advised hiring of Graham Potter.

Moreover, a club legend has now left the club amid the ongoing trouble.

Nicolas Jackson's poor finishing has been one reason behind Chelsea's seemingly never-ending slump, but there are glimmers of hope that things may soon get better.

Should he continue to underperform, however, Chelsea have an ideal alternative lined up - but they will face competition from Arsenal and a host of other clubs.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Man Utd have reportedly already lost confidence in Andre Onana and are looking for replacements.

The Red Devils are also keen on an exciting young LaLiga midfielder.

Former Man Utd target Victor Osimhen could be on the market soon because things are not going well for Napoli, to put it mildly.

The same can't be said of PSG, but they have now been accused of 'mistreating' a former player.

AC Milan are targeting yet another American star.

And it has been revealed that one of their best players turned down a very lucrative move in the summer.

Lastly, Neymar is already said to be unhappy at Al-Hilal and he's thinking about his next move.
