Former France international Christophe Dugarry has launched a scathing attack on Rayan Cherki, questioning the immense hype surrounding the Manchester City playmaker. Despite his recent €36.5 million move to England and an impressive debut season across all competitions, the 1998 World Cup winner believes the 22-year-old is far from being the finished article for the national side.

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Ousmane Dembele has reflected on his meteoric rise to the top of the footballing world, branding his current form as the pinnacle of his professional journey. The winger, recently crowned the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner, believes he has reached a new level of maturity both on and off the pitch.

Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike has hailed his first season in England as a "pivotal year" following a standout performance in France’s 2-1 friendly win over Brazil. The 23-year-old, who moved to Anfield from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer, is rapidly cementing his place in Didier Deschamps' plans. As the 2026 World Cup approaches, Ekitike is relishing the freedom of playing alongside world-class talents in the French attack.

Ousmane Dembele played down speculation over his future at Paris Saint‑Germain after his agent was reportedly seen with a Manchester City director. The 28-year-old said contract decisions are not in his hands and insisted he remains focused on performing on the pitch despite uncertainty surrounding his deal running until 2028.

Speculation has mounted over Ousmane Dembele’s future after his agent met Manchester City, but transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has moved to clarify the truth. While the Ballon d'Or winner attracts Premier League interest, Romano reveals no talks are underway, leaving fans to wonder if the star stays as the cornerstone of Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain project.
