PSG tired of Neymar
Marca
Neymar may leave Paris next summer. The owner of PSG - the Emir of Qatar - is tired of the Brazilian and believes that he could not bring the team to a new level. The Parisians are open to sell the Brazilian star for 100 million euros in order to bail out at least part of the amount paid to Barcelona in the summer of 2017. Neymar will be sold to the club that is up to making the most generous offer. Moreover, Barcelona is no longer interested in the Brazilian's comeback. The main contender for the sign of Neymar are Manchester United.
SALAH TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL?
Fabrizio Romano
Liverpool may lose Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian was not satisfied with the proposed terms under the new deal. The Reds' winger and his agent won't accept the offer received. Therefore, negotiations have been suspended since December. The Egyptian himself would like to continue performing at Liverpool. Previously, Barcelona, ??Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern, PSG and other big teams were eyeing for Salah's services.
MBAPPE SURE OF MOVING TO REAL
Marca
Kylian Mbappé and his family have a strong desire to move to Real Madrid. The PSG forward felt at home at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Frenchman never doubted his choice, but two days spent in Madrid finally convinced him of a need to move to Real Madrid. Both the footballer and his relatives found out that money is not the main thing in this case, and by moving to Real, Kylian will surely be happy, even if he does not become the richest footballer on the planet.
OPTIMISM GROWING IN BARCA: HAALAND'S MOVE TO CAMP NOU?
Louis Rojo; Sport.es
Barcelona are confident in the summer transfer of Erling Haaland - the Blaugranas believe Real and other clubs have no chance to succeed. Xavi solidified Barcelona's position in the race for Erling by meeting the player himself in Munich a few days ago. The coach informed him that the Barça project would revolve around his persona. To crown it all, Barça are set to close two major economic deals - CVC and the sale of 49% of Barça Studios - to secure funds for Haaland. Therefore, departures of Dembele, Coutinho and Griezmann next summer will also help the top deal to gain its rightful attention.
BARCELONA: IF NOT HAALAND, THEN LEWANDOWSKI?
Sport.es
In case Haaland's transfer to Barcelona falls through and the Norwegian agrees to Manchester City terms, the Catalans have an impressive plan for B. Laporta is closely focused on the situation of Lewandowski, whose contract with Bayern expires in the summer of 2023. If the cooperation will not be renewed soon, Barça wish to sign the Pole next summer at a reasonable price.
