Thomas Tuchel has confirmed contract talks between himself and&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain&nbsp;are set to be resumed as an atmosphere of discontent lingers around the&nbsp;Ligue 1&nbsp;leaders. PSG are 17&nbsp;points clear of&nbsp;Lille&nbsp;at the top of the table with two games in hand, and a sixth title in seven seasons a virtual formality. But their dramatic&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;last-16 exit at the hands of&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;has displeased the club's "ultras", who boycotted the Ligue 1 trip to&nbsp;Dijonlast time out and could do likewise for Sunday's Classique against&nbsp;Marseille&nbsp;at the Parc des Princes. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/tuchel-set-to-resume-contract-talks-at-psg/123yugjdxwyvq15clmpjr1cm71" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

<a href="https://www.repubblica.it/" target="_blank">La Repubblica</a> has released a report with information from an unnamed player within the Inter squad which states the dressing room is currently split into three factions: South Americans, Italians and Balkans. Mauro Icardi, still out of the squad after being stripped of the captain's armband, is said to get on with everyone except Ivan Perisic, Marcelo Brozovic and new skipper Samir Handanovic. The expose states that Icardi being stripped of the armband was due to the Argentine asking coach Luciano Spalletti to 'take it down a notch' as he berated players following a victory, the boss 'violently' stressing that they had not done enough. Quotes from the individual also claim that 'the Balkanisation of Inter is now irreversible', that director Piero Ausilio is affiliated with the Slavic 'clan' and wants to sell Icardi to Juventus in exchange for Paulo Dybala.

Juventus have rekindled their interest in signing Chelsea's N'Golo Kante, according to <a href="http://www.tuttosport.com/" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>. The Italian outlet claims that Kante would be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge at the right price, with Jorginho having usurped the Frenchman at the heart of midfield. The Old Lady would face competition from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, however, with both sides also keen on signing the World Cup-winning anchorman.

The ongoing drama over Icardi's renewal and Perisic's wish to leave will see the players let go, while a lack of overall improvement in the squad is said to be the reason behind the Nerazzurri's reason to part ways with the coach.

The young Italian is said to have caught the eye of the Spanish giants during the Giallorossi's Champions League clashes earlier this season. Roma are keen to hold on to all of their prospects, but the report claims an offer of €60 million could be enough to tempt the Italian side into selling if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

After, when he started playing games, playing well, so you can see his face every day - he’s enjoying himself. “At the beginning of the season it was not easy.
