European giants ready to offer €600,000-a-week to Manchester United star next summer – report
Paris Saint-Germain are willing to offer Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba a bumper contract when he becomes a free agent next summer, the Independent reports. The Frenchman has entered the final year of his contract with the Red Devils, and there has been no progress in terms of renewing his deal. It was recently claimed that Les Parisiens could lodge a bid to sign Pogba after he rejected a fresh contract proposal from the Red Devils. However, those plans have been shelved with the huge outlay in wages on Lionel Messi. They will now attempt to sign Pogba on a free transfer. Pogba can negotiate a pre-contract with an overseas club in January, and Les Parisiens are prepared to hand him a stunning €600,000-per-week to join them.

Barcelona set to pay Messi €39m loyalty bonus even after PSG transfer
Barcelona will pay departing star Lionel Messi a €39 million loyalty bonus, according to Spanish source El Mundo. Messi has been one of the sport’s most influential figures in recent history. He spent 17 years at Barcelona, scoring over 700 career goals and winning countless trophies. During that time, he became a Blaugrana legend and a footballing icon. Messi scores one of the most iconic goals of his career against Bayern Munich in 2015 However, the last few months have gone sour at Camp Nou. Last year, he submitted a transfer request after a trophy-less campaign. But following a stand-off with former president Josep Maria Bartomeu, he stayed at the club. Everything looked in place for the six-time Ballon d’Or winner to extend his contract at Barcelona this summer. They had won the Copa ...
Report: Man Utd dealt blow as PSG ‘launch offensive’ for £34m man, player ‘favours’ Ligue 1
Manchester United aren’t short of options in midfield with Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, Fred and Bruno Fernandes, but Foot Mercato say they’ve keen on signing Eduardo Camavinga. The Red Devils’ pursuit of the highly-rated 18-year-old has suffered a blow, however, as Paris Saint-Germain will ‘launch an offensive’ that could be successful. Foot Mercato say Camavinga ‘favours’ the Parisians over United. The French international rose through the youth ranks to Stade Rennais’ first-team in 2018/19 and has gone on to make 83 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals with five assists. Camavinga looks to have a bright future which is why so many clubs are monitoring his progress at Rennes, but it doesn’t appear United will have much luck landing his sign...
What the Lionel Messi deal means for Real Madrid and Manchester United
Barcelona made the shock announcement over Lionel Messi’s exit last week after they could not renew his contract due to financial and structural obstacles. The Argentine has since acknowledged that a move to Paris Saint-Germain is a ‘possibility’, and he looks set to join them on a free transfer in the coming days. This could affect the future of two players in Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba, who have been fancied to pursue fresh challenges this summer. Mbappe has been reluctant to renew his Paris Saint-Germain contract expiring in June 2022, and there are now doubts whether he will stay with the club. Earlier this summer, Les Parisiens’ prime focus was on renewing the contract of the World Cup winner, but they are now on the cusp of landing Messi. With the arrival of Messi, they will obviou...

That left the way clear for Paris Saint-Germain to sign Messi, and he has already held talks with manager Mauricio Pochettino, according to Sky Sports. PSG will offer Messi a two-year deal worth £25 million per year after tax, with the option of a further year.

Paul Pogba is set to start the new season at Manchester United. According to The Telegraph, the Frenchman will begin the upcoming campaign at Old Trafford amid heavy interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

Ligue 1 2021/22 Season Preview: PSG aiming to wrestle title back from Lille
Lille staged a massive upset in 2020/21 as they defied the odds to beat overwhelming favourites Paris Saint-Germain to the Ligue 1 crown. Managed by Christophe Galtier, Les Dogues put together a memorable campaign to halt PSG’s three-year dominance in France. Although the sides went head-to-head throughout most of the season, Lille’s heroic 1-0 win at the Parc des Princes swayed the title race into their favour. However, after leading the Stade Pierre-Mauroy outfit to a historic success, Galtier took charge of Nice. Meanwhile, PSG backed Mauricio Pochettino during the summer transfer window.

Inter Milan, PSG & Everton target given €30m price tag
Lazio president Claudio Lotito has set his asking price for attacker Joaquin Correa, according to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport. Correa came to Lazio from Sevilla back in 2018 on a five-year contract, signing for an estimated fee of €16 million. His time at the Stadio Olimpico has been fairly successful. He has scored 30 goals for the club in all competitions and helped his side lift the Coppa Italia trophy in 2019, scoring his side’s second in the final against Atalanta. This form has earned him eight caps for the Argentina national team, where he has achieved even more success.

With several clubs across Europe looking to sign the Argentine, Lazio president Claud...

PSG fullback offered to Serie A champions who want Man Utd player instead [Report]
Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly offered Laywin Kurzawa to Inter Milan recently, but the Nerazzurri would prefer to sign Manchester United’s Alex Telles. As per TuttoMercatoWeb, PSG want to offload the left-back, with the Giuseppe Meazza emerging as a potential landing spot. The 28-year-old arrived at the Parc des Princes from Monaco in 2015 but has since blown hot and cold in the French capital, often playing second fiddle to Juan Bernat. However, he failed to establish himself as a permanent first-team fixture last season despite the Spaniard’s long-term injury, recording just ten Ligue 1 starts. As a result, PSG want to cut ties with Kurzawa, and they would allow him to join Inter on a free transfer to get rid of his wages. The Italians are chasing a new left-back after Ashley Young ...

Paris Saint-Germain are in contact with the representative of Manchester United’s Paul Pogba and believe they can sign him on a cut-price deal, The Mail reports.

Manchester United star reportedly close to agreeing personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Paul Pogba from Manchester United. According to Manchester Evening News, the Ligue 1 club have not made formal contact with United. However, French outlet Canal Supporters claims that an agreement for personal terms is close between Pogba and PSG. PSG are looking to bolster their hopes of winning silverware by signing a world-class midfielder. They were initially ‘only an option’ for the French international, but he now is convinced by the project. From a salary point of view, Pogba could become the third best-paid player at the club behind Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. United are expected to demand around €70-80 million with bonuses to sanction Pogba’s sale. If the French giants fail to land Pogba this summer, they would look towards signing Renne...
Messi miles ahead of Bayern and Chelsea stars in Ballon D’Or race
The 2020/21 season has officially come to a close, and it’s around this time when we start to speculate about our award winners. The Ballon d’Or is the most high profile individual award in the game, recognising the world’s best player from the past 12 months. With the season over, we’re now looking at our potential winners. Two months ago, we compiled a list of the leading candidates for the prize. Since then, we’ve had a Champions League final and a summer of international football. Some of the list has aged well. Other parts….not so much (whose idea was it to give Antoine Griezmann an honourable mention?). Anyway, two months on, and we now have a clearer picture of who our 2021 Ballon d’Or winner could be. Lionel Messi The Copa America has tipped the balance in Messi’s favour As things ...
