PSG Tell Barcelona What They Want For Neymar Transfer
PSG told Barcelona what they want to sell Neymar back to them, to avoid the long transferring saga that ended up going nowhere last summer.
For the past couple of seasons, Neymar has been linked to a move back to the Nou Camp and last summer, Lionel Messi wanted his club to bring back his former teammate to Spain.
The saga lasted a major chunk of the summer but never happened and Barca then signed Antoine Griezmann, but this summer they could be back for the Brazilian.
The French champions want € 80 million, and Ousmane Dembele for the 28-year-old winger, according to the Spanish newspaper El Chiringuito.
Neymar left the Catalan giants for € 222 million, a world record fee that surpassed the previous record in 2017 when the release clause was triggered by the Ligue 1 side.
Barca replaced him with Dembele, signing for €105 million the Frenchman from Borussia Dortmund, with an additional € 40 million a year after moving to Germany for about € 15 million.
Injuries and form meant the move did not work out for the former Rennes winger and this season he’s only played three games this season in La Liga.
During his first season at the Nou Camp, Griezmann was criticized and this summer the reigning La Liga champions are again being linked with moves forward.
Inter’s Lautaro Martinez is their main target in the transfer window but concerns have been raised about whether the Spanish side can pay for him the huge amount.
Though, with Messi wanting Neymar and the opportunity to get Dembele out of the team, it may be more likely to step on with the PSG.
After reports that the six-time Ballon d’Or winner is preparing to walk away from the club at the end of next season, Barca may hope that signing Neymar would go some way to placating Messi.
It’s unlikely they will keep their league title this season but are still in the Champions League, but Napoli will have to be defeated in the second leg of their last 16 tie.
Neymar and PSG are still chasing their first European title, despite being able to comfortably defend their title in France, even with the season being shortened.
Liverpool and Man United have conceded 6 goals in a match on the same day for the first time in the two clubs’ history.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has issued an emotional apology top fans after his side’s display in their humiliating loss to Tottenham.
The Red Devils were humbled as former manager Jose Mourinho’s side cruised to a 6-1 win at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty after one minute but defensive errors saw Tanguy Ndombele and Son Heung-Min secure the lead by 10 minutes.
After a red card for Anthony Martial, Harry Kane slotted into an open net while Son grabbed a second before half time.
Lesson to learn from today’s game
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the victim of a footballing massacre in Manchester after suffering his darkest hour at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer and his spineless United flops were left with faces as red as their shirts following their biggest hammering since 2011.
The fact it was Tottenham and former boss Jose Mourinho who delivered it just rubbed more salt into United’s gaping wounds – ones that could take a long, long time to heal.
United had been reduced to 10 men before half time, but this had little bearing on the eventual outcome.
The day had started with the news Edinson Cavani had jetted into Manchester to undergo a medical ahead of a free transfer to United.

part of the medical should have included him having his head examined – because the Uruguayan striker must be mad to even contemplate joining a team that now concedes goals for fun due to its defence being nowhere near the standards expected or required at this level.
Barcelona star Ousmane dembele makes u-turn reject United’s deal
Ousmane Dembele is reportedly now keen on signing for Manchester United – but Barcelona aren’t on board.
The France international has been linked with a shock move to Old Trafford as an alternative to the club’s number one target Jadon Sancho.
United have previously enquired about Dembele’s availability, but the former Borussia Dortmund forward snubbed their approaches.
Dembele has since fallen down the pecking order at the Camp Nou, and this, coupled with reports he has spoken to Paul Pogba about a move to Man United, suggest he’s had a change of heart.

With two games left in this season’s EPL season, our attention is shifted to the most prestigious tournament, the English FA cup. Two rivals not of the same town or geographical location but of fans beef and fight for superiority lock horns by 6pm today.
Yesterday, the footballing world witnessed as upset as underdogs, Arsenal under the stewardship of former player and Assistant manager, Arteta produced a masterclass performance to defeat Manchester City. In a game where all hope was lost due to the circumstances around the Northlondon side, the gunners produced a shock result against the blues.
This is football, and it involves Manchester United and Chelsea today. Will we witness yet another shock result?
Manchester United have won Chelsea on all three occasions this season, including a 4-0 destruction when the season was fresh. This remarkable statistic has made so many United faithful confident that this result will yet again go their way.
However, Arsenal won yesterday after losing seven previous encounters against City, conceding 20 goals in the process. Will we see a repeat of yesterday’s scenario with Chelsea coming out tops or will United make it four wins on the bounce?
Prediction: Manchester United 1 – 2 Chelsea
