French giants Marseille are set to launch a fresh assault on PSG starlet Adrien Rabiot, according to the Daily Mail.
The talented footballer has repeatedly requested to be allowed to move clubs in search of first team football, but it does not look as though the Saints are ready to let him go at the moment.
League rivals Marseille hope to sign the 20-year-old on loan until the end of the season, but they could have a tough time agreeing a deal with PSG.
OM earlier attempted to bring Rabiot to Stade Velodrome after his loan spell with Toulouse came to an end in the summer of 2013, but without success.
Adrien Rabiot, 20, has had his share of first team opportunities this term, having started 9 Ligue 1 fixtures, while also making three appearances in the Ch…
Manchester City 3 Everton 1 (4-3 agg): De Bruyne inspires controversial comeback before injury scare
Kevin De Bruyne inspired Manchester City to the League Cup final as they came from behind to record a 4-3 aggregate win over Everton courtesy of a controversial 3-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium.
City had only once before managed to overturn a first-leg deficit in the tournament way back in 1976, when they beat Middlesbrough before going on to lift the trophy and their task of emulating that feat was made all the more difficult by Ross Barkley s fine opening goal.
Manuel Pellegrini s men responded six minutes later through a deflected Fernandinho effort and the hosts twice hit the woodwork inside the first hour through Sergio Aguero and David Silva, while Everton themselves wasted a great chance to regain the lead through Gerard Deulofeu.
The 2013-14 winner…

Both Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal have started the 2018/19 La Liga season performing below the required expectations. And considering what s at stake here and the position both sides are in the standings, it s safe to say both need a win to start their comeback in what has been a dreadful start to the season. A negative result could potentially complicate both sides with relegation going forward.
Athletic Bilbao
Athletic Bilbao are one of three undefeated teams in La Liga this season, although it needs to be acknowledged that they have one less game due to the fact their game against Rayo Vallecano got postponed. Still, Athletic have looked quite solid this season. They began the year with a convi…

Kylian Mbappe s future with Paris Saint-Germain has come under scrutiny once again, with reports the French World Cup winner is pushing for an exit in January.
The 23-year-old signed a new three-year deal with PSG prior to the 2022-23 season, when he could have left the club on a free transfer, and made him the highest-earner in world football.
Just months after bringing the saga to a close, however, a new chapter in Mbappe s story looks to be opened, as his relationship with PSG is said to have broken down.
The list of clubs who could land Mbappe is a very small one, with PSG understandably ready to demand a world-record fee for his services, and Stats Perform has looked at his options.
