    NEYMAR

    Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to convince the Brazilian star to join Manchester United instead of Paris Saint-Germain, according to Diario Gol.

    The two have been chatting on WhatsApp and Ronaldo has apparently told Neymar that a move to PSG would be a step down, and that the Barcelona playmaker should wait for Ronaldo’s former club to move for him.

    Earlier in the day it had emerged that Neymar has agreed personal terms with PSG on a mammoth six-year contract that would pay him £500,000 a week, with the player’s £196million release clause, which PSG are willing to activate, now the only thing standing in the way of a move.

    RATING: 3/10

    SPORT360 VERDICT 

    It’s not the first time Neymar has been linked to Manchester United, but the link has never seemed serious, and it’s no different this time.

    Neymar’s seems set on a move to PSG and it’s highly unlikely that there will be a last-minute change of heart. And there has been no indication that United would be willing to be pay the astronomical fee required to prise Neymar away from Barcelona.

    NABY KEITA

    Liverpool are said to have agreed a £75million deal for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita. Winner Sports say that although the German club rejected two offers from the Reds for their player, a third one has been accepted.

    Leipzig had previously said that Keita was not for sale, but it seems Liverpool’s persistence has paid off.

    RATING: 4/10

    SPORT360 VERDICT: 

    Jurgen Klopp has been looking to strengthen his midfield, and Leipzig’s “hands-off” message to Liverpool last week was never going to deter the club if they really wanted him.

    Keita has been rated as one of the best young midfielders in Europe following his displays for Leipzig last season but according to Sky Sports their bid has actually been rejected so we await to see more on this one.

    ALEXIS SANCHEZ

    The Chilean’s move to PSG is on the verge of breaking down, according to Le ParisienSanchez was in Paris last week to discuss a move to the Ligue 1 giants, but his contract demands, said to be £500,000 a week, are reportedly too high for PSG.

    There is also a sense among the French club’s hierarchy that Arsenal will not sell their star player, despite the fact that he is on the last year of his current contract.

    RATING: 4/10

    SPORT360 VERDICT: 

    This is likely not to be the last development in this story. While Neymar is no doubt PSG’s top target, they have been pursuing Sanchez for some time and are unlikely to be deterred by this initial setback.

    It is, however, quite possible that with the reported £196million transfer fee they will need to pay for Neymar, another big transfer fee may beyond them this summer.

    Expect this story to have more twists and turns this summer.
