    ANGEL DI MARIA

    Paris Saint-Germain winger Angel di Maria has hinted that he may be on the move this summer.

    Should he become available, Barcelona are said to be interested in signing the former Real Madrid star.

    The Argentine has featured regularly for PSG since Neymar’s injury but believes club may choose to sell some players in order to sign new ones.

    “Football is a strange game,” Di Maria told France Football.

    “I am happy here, but the club needs to sign new players and to do this, others must be sold. It is not my decision. It is also the club’s.”

    CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN

    According to the Daily ExpressTottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen has emerged as PSG’s top priority in the summer transfer window if Thomas Tuchel takes charge in the French capital.

    The Dane has enjoyed a fine individual season at Spurs, scoring 14 goals and providing 10 assists along the way. However, after another season without silverware under Mauricio Pochettino, Eriksen may be keen on moving on.

    The lure of PSG and promise of challenging for the Champions League alongside the likes of Edinson Cavani, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe may prove to good to resist.
