OGC Nice's Marcin Bulka unenthused by Galatasaray move
Marcin Bulka (25) looks highly likely to leave OGC Nice this summer. The Polish goalkeeper, a key player for Le Gym over the past two seasons, has been in talks over a contract renewal. However, towards the start of last season, those talks hit a brick wall. There has been a deadlock ever since, and there is little optimism over a renewal of talks. Determined not to lose him on a free next summer, Nice are looking to sell Bulka during the ongoing transfer window. Initial interest in Le Gym's No.1 has come from Turkey and more specifically from Galatasaray, according to a report from L'Équipe. Advertisement However, the publication understands that Bulka himself is not particularly enthused by a move to the Turkish club, even if they will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next season. Galatasaray would be willing to spend €20m on the goalkeeper. Local rivals AS Monaco have also been cited as a potential destination by Foot Mercato. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Gonçalo Ramos and Kang-in Lee allowed to leave PSG
Gonçalo Ramos (23) and Lee Kang-in (24) will be allowed to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, according to a report from L'Équipe. The pair have featured sparingly throughout the campaign. Ramos suffered an ankle injury in the first game of the season, which sidelined him for several months. He has nonetheless gone on to make 41 appearances in all competitions, scoring 18 goals in that time, however, starts have been hard to come by. Luis Enrique has preferred Ousmane Dembélé in the No.9 position this season. Advertisement Lee also has 45 appearances in all competitions, but like Ramos, he has started rarely. He has just four starts in the UEFA Champions League and he hasn't been included in the starting XI during the knockout phases of the competition. Both have contracts that run until 2028 but will be allowed to leave, for the right price, this summer. Following their triumph in the Champions League, they are under no obligation to sell.

Antero Henrique favourite to replace Luís Campos in case of sporting director's PSG exit
Luís Campos is the architect of a Paris Saint-Germain squad that is one step away from making the final of the UEFA Champions League. Signings made since his arrival as sporting director in 2022 – the likes of Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Vitinha, and João Neves – are playing a starring role in PSG's success both in Europe and domestically, with Luis Enrique's side having already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title. However, whilst the Spanish manager resolved his future back in February, signing a contract renewal that runs until 2027, the future of Campos remains uncertain. Get French Football News understands that whilst talks with the Portuguese director are ongoing, the more time elapses, the less likely he is to sign a renewal, with his contract up at the end of the season. Luis Enrique has expressed a wish for Campos to remain at PSG beyond the end of the season, however, the more time passes, the less chance there is of that wish being realised. Back to the future at PSG? GFFN also understands that, in the event of Campos leaving PSG, a former director could be in line to take the job – Antero Henrique, who previously held the sporting director job between 2017 and 2019 and who retained a standing and an influence at the Ligue 1 club beyond his mandate. Henrique would be the favourite to replace his compatriot and is very interested in a return to PSG with the potential for an opening in the coming weeks. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

PSG Sporting Director Luis Campos in advanced talks with major European club
PSG Sporting Director Luis Campos looks increasingly on his way out of Paris's Parc des Princes. According to Sacha Tavolieri, the Portuguese manager is in advanced talks with a 'major' European club because no agreement has been found so far over a contract renewal for Campos, despite head coach Luis Enrique pushing for it. Since his arrival in 2022, Campos has played an instrumental role in instilling a new philosophy at PSG, which has entailed moving away from signing big-name stars. There has been more of a focus on homegrown talents in France more generally, as well as those coming through the academy. As further proof of Campos' time at PSG looking over, the Portuguese is in the process of writing a book. Get French Football News understands that whilst talks with the Portuguese director are ongoing, the more time elapses, the less likely he is to sign a renewal, with his contract up at the end of the season. GFFN also understands that, in the event of Campos leaving PSG, former PSG director Antero Henrique could be in line to take Campos' job. Tavolieri understands that Campos' destination will be revealed soon. Considering Campos' success with Les Parisiens, it is no surprise a handful of ambitious European clubs have reached out to the PSG Sporting Director. GFFN | Bastien Cheval

Round 28: PSG look to wrap up title against Angers
Ligue 1 Predictions | Round 28: PSG look to wrap up title against Angers Ligue 1 Predictions, Round 28 GFFN editor-in-chief Luke Entwistle and GFFN's Raphaël Jucobin face off in our Ligue 1 predictions competition. It's three points for a correct score, two points for a correct score difference, and one point for a correct result. Who will come out on top at the end of the season? Advertisement SCORES Raphaël: 146 Luke: 173 Game of the week: Olympique Lyonnais v Lille OSC, Saturday 20:05 (UK) Lyon suffered a big defeat at the hands of Strasbourg on Friday. The 4-2 loss to a direct rival for the European places leaves them with ground to make up. However, the scoreline arguably was not a fair reflection with Lyon playing well in the first half and accumulating a higher xG than their opponents (1.78 to 2.87) over the course of the match. It doesn't need to be all doom and gloom at OL but it will be if they can't get a result against another direct competitor for the top four, Lille. If OL are free-flowing, open, dynamic, and exciting, Lille have been anything but in recent weeks. Advertisement There could be a physical factor at play here. Lille's season began at the start of August due to having to go through the Champions League playoffs. Having already played four intense European matches by the end of August, it would only be normal if that is starting to catch up on them, especially since an injury crisis in mid-season prevented Lille from rotating. LOSC did get over the line against Lens, profiting from a Mathew Ryan error to net the only goal of the game. Les Sang et Or deserved at least a point, however. Only two points separate these two sides but Lyon, despite a heavy loss last weekend, are perhaps better set-up to grab all three points here. Raphaël's full predictions Nice 2-0 Nantes PSG 4-0 Angers Brest 2-2 Monaco Lyon 1-3 Lille Lens 2-1 Saint-Étienne Reims 2-3 Strasbourg Rennes 2-1 Auxerre Montpellier 0-2 Le Havre Marseille 2-1 Toulouse Luke's full predictions Nice 2-0 Nantes Brest 2-3 Monaco Lyon 2-1 Lille PSG 5-0 Angers Lens 1-0 Saint-Étienne Reims 1-3 Strasbourg Rennes 2-0 Auxerre Montpellier 0-1 Le Havre Marseille 3-1 Toulouse GFFN | Luke Entwistle
