A remarkable story from BeIN Sport claims that Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have ‘everything agreed’ for Neymar to return to Camp Nou.
Well, everything apart from the player’s salary.

And the third wheel in that trifecta could now also be on his way out of the club.

Manchester United’s hunt for a striker has reportedly taken them to Portugal.
A Bola say that Erik ten Hag’s side are looking for a cut-price option to lead their attack and believe that Porto’s Mehdi Taremi is their man.
The Mirror also claim that United have been offered the chance, by Bayern Munich, to sign Marcel Sabitzer on a permanent deal but are likely to turn down those advances.
The same newspaper says that Manchester City are thought to be weighing up the possibility of a move for Frenkie De Jong.
Having failed to sign Declan Rice from West Ham, City are keen on adding more quality to their midfield and believe that De Jong is perfect for Pep Guardiola’s style of play.
Barcelona, although in a troubling financial situation, are thought to be unwilling to sell the Netherlands international.

Il Messaggero have stated that the forward is travelling to the Italian capital and will sign on the dotted line soon.
