Kylian Mbappe’s transfer situation took another turn on Tuesday, June 13 evening after the Frenchmen tweeted about his future with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). According to the latest developments, the player has hinted he will leave the French champions as a free agent when his contract expires in 2024. Mbappe has been at PSG since 2017 having initially come on loan from Monaco and could now leave the club as a free agent. He is reported to be on his way to Real Madrid while Manchester United are also interested in his signature.

<h2>Mbappe to stay at PSG next season?</h2>

In a statement to AFP, Mbappe said he had informed PSG "on July 15, 2022" of his decision not to activate an option to extend his contract, which ends after next season, for an extra year "and the only aim of the letter was to confirm what had already been spoken about previously".

Kylian Mbappe and his entourage confirm that "this matter has not been discussed since over the course of the year, except a fortnight ago to announce the sending of the letter".

If Mbappe does end up staying at PSG but plans on not signing an extension, he will be a free agent at the end of next season.

<h2>PSG not ready to shift Mbappe for free</h2>

As things stand, PSG have cleared their stance on Mbappe and have asked him to sign a new contract before the start of the next season. However, since Mbappe is reluctant to sign a new deal, the club is prepared to sell the Frenchmen in the window. This will see PSG earn a significant fee rather than losing the player on a free transfer next season.

As things stand, his current deal will expire in 2024 with long-term admirers Real Madrid keen on his signature. Real have been in contact with Mbappe for a few seasons but have not lured the player to switch to the Spanish capital. Manchester United are another club on the hunt and could sign him if they are presented with an opportunity to sign.

Football transfers: Kylian Mbappe plans to stay at PSG next season but unlikely to sign contract extension

After getting into the gifting spirit of Christmas on December 25 by mistakenly transferring a total of £130 million ($175 million) to its customers, UK’s bank Santander is trying to recover the amount.&nbsp;

The customers of the bank were in for a big surprise when the credit occurred. &nbsp;

In a statement published on Thursday, Santander said that the total amount was split over 75,000 transactions for around 2,000 corporate and commercial customers. &nbsp;

"We're sorry that due to a technical issue, some payments from our corporate clients were incorrectly duplicated on the recipients' accounts," reads the statement. &nbsp;

"None of our clients were at any point left out of pocket as a result and we will be working hard with many banks across the UK to recover the duplicated transactions over the coming days." &nbsp;

The duplicated payments have been blamed on a scheduling issue by the bank. The issue has been "quickly identified and rectified," said the bank. &nbsp;

These transactions included both regular and one-off payments, which could have included supplier payments or wages, the statement added. &nbsp;

The bank is currently working to recover the funds from recipient banks with the help of "bank error recovery process," said the statement. It also has processes in place to seek funds’ recovery, which have been deposited due to error, directly from the recipients. &nbsp;

Christmas blunder: UK bank mistakenly transfers $175 mn to customers, now wants it back

Philippe Coutinho, who is currently on a loan in Bayern Munich has been for sale from the Catalonia side. Many Premier League teams have tried to approach the club to buy the Brazilian Playmaker.&nbsp;

But Bayern's Thiago has urged the Brazilian to permanent his stay in the German club. He said: "I know him well. He’s very good. I’ve seen him play since he was 12 years old.

"I played futsal against him in Brazil and he loved it. He doesn’t think he lacks anything.

"I love playing with high-level footballers and he is a phenomenon. He is a spectacular guy, super hard-working, with an unbeatable technique and incredible definition.

"Players go through good and not so good moments and he is giving us a lot. We hope to have him next year too."

Coutinho was bought in January 2018 on a record £142 million deal to Barcelona. But he struggled to find his form and went out for a loan to Bayern Munich, where he scored eight goals in 15 matches.&nbsp;

German giants are not expected to activate £100 million to purchase the 27-year-old due to being financially hit due to the coronavirus pandemic. This has given Chelsea and New Castle a chance to have their say in the transfer.

According to Juventus’ chief football officer Fabio Paratici, Paul Pogba might not earn as much as he will earn he currently earns in Manchester United after his rumoured transfer with Juventus is successful.

Paratici has said this because the sport has faced a massive hit financially because of the coronavirus pandemic. Pogba has a massive pay-grade with the Red Devils but has been eyeing to move out of the Manchester since the past couple of years, the Frenchman expects a pay rise due to the transfer.&nbsp;

According to an Italian media outlet, Paratici warned Pogba: "Paul Pogba is a fantastic player, we know him as a champion.

"But something will change after the coronavirus crisis because logically the salary demands someone at his level would have had before is now more difficult to get hold of. Or, at least, he’ll have fewer clubs prepared to pay that money."

On why Pogba couldn’t command the same wage as Cristiano Ronaldo, Paratici added: "Cristiano is a different player to all the others. He brings incredible and exponential growth in revenue, representing a brand that is almost as big as a club."

He continued: "Clubs will certainly have some more difficulties to deal with, so with less income, we’ll need to be more creative and elastic, finding a different formula for transfer deals. I expect many exchanges of players, although obviously, we can’t use the NBA draft because that is a closed system.

"We should take more from the NBA and American sports in general. After all, the Premier League has this big advantage over the other leagues because they control the brand and represent the whole league rather than individual clubs.

"What we will see is more extended loans, so a two-year loan, even three. Some say we could start the 2020-21 season with the same players as 2019-20, which is also a possibility.

"There will certainly be less cash circulating and that’s obvious to everyone. We are going through a difficult moment globally, not just in football, and the consequences will be felt everywhere. Therefore, I think we’ll see longer loans because rather than purchase homes, people are more likely in a time of uncertainty to rent.

"I believe that if we exchange players between the top 12-15 clubs in the world, the value of the transfers won’t drop. When purchasing a new player, that’s a different matter and we can see a fall in the fees."

Juventus’ chief football officer warns Pogba on his transfer to Italian side

Returning to his office Wednesday after a 77-day exile,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/cbi-director-alok-verma-case-pm-led-panel-scheduled-wednesday-night-to-meet-and-decide-189233">CBI Director Alok Verma</a>&nbsp;annulled most of the transfers effected by M Nageshwar Rao, who was holding the charge as the interim director.

A 1979-batch AGMUT cadre IPS officer, Verma arrived the headquarters at around 10.40 am Wednesday, a day after the Supreme Court set aside a controversial government order divesting him of all powers, amidst unprecedented public spat with Special Director Rakesh Asthana, who was booked by the agency under corruption charges.

Verma and Asthana were sent on forced leave by the government along with Verma, through two separate orders issued on October 23, 2018, late evening.

Upon his arrival at the CBI headquarters, Verma was received by Rao, officials said.

Then Joint Director M Nageswar Rao, a 1986-batch Odisha cadre IPS officer who was later promoted as Additional Director, was given the duties and functions of the CBI director late night on October 23, 2018, after Verma and Asthana were divested of their powers.

The next morning, Rao had issued seven transfer orders including those probing corruption case against Asthana, like DySP A K Bassi, DIG M K Sinha, Joint Director A K Sharma, among others.

On January 3, 2019, he had transferred officers of Joint Director Rank. 
Verma issued two orders Wednesday "withdrawing" all the transfers done by Rao on October 24, 2018, and January 3, 2019.

In his expansive office on the 11th floor of the imposing glass and concrete CBI headquarters building, Verma also kept a keen ear on the developments related to the meeting of high-powered selection meeting announced for the evening as a stream of senior officers kept him busy, officials said.

He remained in office till late at night, they said.

In sending Verma on leave, the government overlooked the immunity given to the CBI director by the Supreme Court ensuring a two-year minimum tenure to protect the incumbent from any political interference.

The government tried to justify its decision, saying it became necessary amid an unprecedented feud between the two senior-most officials of the agency who had levelled charges of corruption on each other, an argument rejected by the apex court Tuesday.

In its order Tuesday, the Supreme Court set aside Verma's forced leave but restrained him from taking any major policy decision till the CVC probe into corruption charges against him is over.

In the absence of any clear definition of "major policy" decisions, the grey area exists as to what extent Verma's powers will be limited.

The apex court said any further decision against Verma, who retires on January 31, would be taken by the high-powered committee which selects and appoints the CBI director.

The Supreme Court in the Vineet Narayan judgment had fixed a minimum tenure of two years for the CBI director to give him immunity from any political interference.

Later, through the Lokpal Act, the process of selecting the CBI director was handed over to a selection committee.
