      PSG could sell Neymar to fund monster new contract for Kylian Mbappe as Real Madrid eye transfer for French ace

      by

      PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN could reportedly sell Neymar in order to fund a monster new contract for Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe.
      L’Equipe claims Ligue 1 champions PSG face a dilemma next summer after being hit in the pocket by the coronavirus pandemic.

      Both Neymar, 28, and Mbappe, 21, are out of contract in 2022.
      But it’s reckoned PSG can only afford to keep one on a monster salary.
      Neymar already earns £21.5million a year, having been made the most expensive footballer in history when he joined from Barcelona for nearly £200million in 2017.
      Mbappe, who arrived on loan the same summer from Monaco before completing a £156m permanent deal a year later, currently pockets £15.5m.

      But he will apparently want a salary putting on par with Neymar in order to commit to the Parc des Princes.
      It’s believed PSG cannot keep both players for a combined sum of £43m each season.
      And with Mbappe having age on his side, the French giants are ready to sacrifice Neymar in order to keep hold of the World Cup winner.
      Real Madrid are also huge fans of the forward, who has already won four league titles with both Monaco and PSG.

      The Spaniards dream of pairing him alongside Borussia Dortmund hitman Erling Haaland, who scored four for the Germans yesterday after being revealed as the winner of this year’s Golden Boy award.
      It means a door could be open for Neymar to rejoin Barca.
      The trickster was strongly linked with his former club after reportedly becoming disillusioned with life in France.
      Neymar has also suffered a number of injuries during his stay in the capital, making 92 appearances compared with Mbappe’s 133.
      And with all factors taken in, it seems there is one clear winner in PSG’s eyes.

      Watch Kylian Mbappe roast Monaco defence… before PSG throw away two-goal lead to lose thriller against Ligue 1 rivals

      by

      KYLIAN MBAPPE notched a searing solo goal of the type few could rival –  before PSG lost from 2-0 up in a way few could have imagined.
      The France striker struck twice and had one ruled out by VAR in a first-half totally dominated by the French champions.

      Ex-Everton ace Moise Kean also had one questionably ruled out for offside, as PSG seemed to be coasting towards a ninth-straight Ligue 1 win – only for Monaco to roar back after the break.
      Mbappe’s 25th minute opener was the moment of peerless pace, consummate control and fierce finishing that showed why he is the hottest tip to become the world’s top player in the next few years.
      Fed by Angel Di Maria midway inside the Monaco half, he blitzed past a challenge that would have sent most players off-stride and measured a high finish past ex-Arsenal keeper Vito Mannone.
      Even Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at their peak nimbleness of half a decade ago would have struggled to match that strike for scorching directness.

      And it answered any doubts over Mbappe’s sharpness on his return from a thigh injury picked up against Nantes on October 31, while frontpartner Neymar is still out with an adductor problem.  
      World Cup winner Mbappe, 21, bagged his second of the night at his old club with a penalty after Youssouf Fofana brought down Rafinha.

      But video replays soon erased a goal from co-hitman Kean, and Mbappe suffered the same fate when he thought he’d secured his hat-trick just before the break.
      Monaco then turned PSG’s VAR-wrecked spell into far-fetched hell – with a scintillating second-half turnaround

      Germany winger Kevin Volland shot home twice from close range, his equaliser courtesy of a Cesc Fabregas cross.

      PSG centre back Abdou Diallo then saw red for fouling Volland to concede a spot-kick.
      And from that 87th minute penalty former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder Fabregas calmly tucked home Monaco’s winner.
      Defeat still leaves champions PSG four points clear of second-placed Monaco, whose victory overhauled Lille, Marseille and Rennes.

      MOVING ON
      Attention now turns to the Champions League for PSG and it doesn’t get any easier.
      They have already lost twice from their opening three games and can’t afford to lose at home to Leipzig on Tuesday night.
      Leipzig turned round an early deficit and turned it round to win 2-1 in Germany, as PSG lost Gueye and Kimpembe to red cards.
      Throwing away leads and getting red cards, eh…..

      NAIL BITING
      The Monaco admin clearly expected more of a fight from PSG….

      WHAT A GAME!
      Wow, I know I said we should expect better from Monaco in that second half but nobody could’ve seen that coming!
      PSG overwhelmingly dominated the first half and took the lead through Mbappe who got in behind the Monaco backline and fired home.
      He then grabbed his and PSG’s second from the penalty spot shortly after.
      Moise Kean had a goal ruled out by VAR and then hit the bar before Mbappe found the net again, only for it too to be ruled out by VAR.
      It seemed a matter of how many for PSG at half time as Monaco looked down and out.
      All credit goes to Niko Kovac for making a couple of switches as half time as he brought on Cesc Fabregas and pushed Kevin Volland further forward.
      Volland prodded into an empty net on two occasions with an aggregate distance of around six yards.
      Then the moment that mattered as Diallo slipped in possession and Volland nicked it off him before Diallo brought him down for a penalty.
      Fabregas – who completely changed the game – smashed into the top corner to complete the remarkable turnaround.

      PEEEEEEEEEEEP!! FULL TIME IN A DRAMATIC NIGHT IN MONACO!!!
      MONACO 3 PSG 2

      90+4. And again. Martins is replaced by Matazo for the remaining seconds.

      88. Kimpembe joins him as he stretches to bring down Martins who was running in behind.
      He was lucky it was so close to the halfway line as Martins looked as though he was through.

      MONACO 3 PSG 2
      87. Fabregas goes into the book for a cynical trip in the middle of the park.
      Not sure he’ll care too much if things stay as they are.

      MONACO 3 PSG 2
      Diallo dallies on the ball inside his own defensive third. Volland pounces on a slip and breaks into the box.
      Despite being wide of the goal, he is dragged back by Diallo not once, but twice. Volland hits the deck and Diallo is off.
      Fabregas – who has singlehandedly changed the complexion of this whole game – runs up, takes a stutter, before finding the top left hand corner of Navas’ net.
      Unbelievable turnaround.

      HE SCORES!!!! GOOOOOAAAALL MONACO!! THE COMEBACK IS COMPLETE!!!!!

      DIALLO IS SENT OFF! A RED CARD FOR THE PSG DEFENDER!

      IT WILL BE FABREGAS TO TAKE!
      THE REF IS AWAY FOR A QUICK LOOK AT THE MONITOR FOR A POTENTIAL RED CARD

      OH MY WORD!!! PENALTY MONACO!!!!

      MONACO 2 PSG 2
      81. Fabregas and Volland again. The Spaniard is in acres of room ten yards out but skews his left footed shot.
      It falls kindly at the feet of Volland five yards out but he can’t sort his feet out in time to knock it home.

      MONACO 2 PSG 2
      80. Pablo Sarabia follows a pass into the Monaco box and Moise Kean’s touch lays it on a plate for him.
      But the midfielder snatches at the shot from 12 yards out and Mannone gathers comfortably.

      MONACO 2 PSG 2
      78. Martins and Fabregas link up well again and Martins hits the deck looking for a penalty.
      Quite optimistic as there was nobody within three yards of him as he went down.

      MONACO 2 PSG 2
      75. Huge chance for Monaco!
      A goalmouth scramble as Volland and Fabregas fight for the ball with the PSG defence.
      It breaks for Fabregas four yards out but he fires over.
      Replays show he would have been offside but there was plenty of chances leading up to that final strike.

      MONACO 2 PSG 2
      69. Triple sub for PSG and there’ll be no hat-trick for Mbappe as he, Kurzawa and Danilo Pereira make way.
      Kays Ruiz-Atil, Mitchel Bakker and Leandro Pareded enter the fray.

      THE GOAL THAT STARTED IT ALL OFF TONIGHT

      The Monaco defence simply could not compete with Kylian Mbappé!
      There’s no stopping the 21-year-old from there! 💪

      PSG star Julian Draxler wanted by Hertha Berlin and Sevilla in January transfer after falling out-of-favour under Tuchel

      by

      PSG star Julian Draxler is wanted by Hertha Berlin and Sevilla in January after falling out of favour under his manager Thomas Tuchel.
      The attacker was once a highly-rated and linked to several Premier League clubs, but now is struggling to find a way into PSG’s star-studded team.

      Italian outlet Calciomercato report that he is attracting interests from sides across Europe.
      Sevilla and Hertha Berlin are both believed to be monitoring the 27-year-old, who has started half of PSG’s 10 league games this season.
      It is not clear if they will try and pounce in January or wait till the summer, when he will be a free agent.
      Draxler has to compete with the talent of Angel Di Maria, Moise Kean, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe for a starting spot.

      And he has struggle for game time despite Neymar and Mbappe being absent for a handful of games already this campaign.
      The German was linked to Leeds while the window was still open.
      But despite the prospect of playing for Marcelo Bielsa, Draxler reportedly did not respond positively to the Elland Road club’s approach.
      It is claimed he had no intention of giving up his Parisian lifestyle with both he and his family settled.

      And he is also believed to have rejected a number of approaches to return back to the Bundesliga.

      Back in April, Arsenal were also rumoured to be interested in Draxler.
      The ace was tipped to move to the Emirates after only making 12 starts that season for Paris Saint-Germain up to that point.
      He is believed to rake in a whopping £120,000-per-week at Parc des Princes which may have hindered Arsenal’s move.

      Barcelona’s Neymar transfer bid revealed with club offering PSG £98m and THREE players including Dembele

      by

      BARCELONA offered £98million plus Ousmane Dembele and two other stars for Neymar, it has been revealed.
      A sensational swoop for the Paris Saint-Germain star appeared to be near completion just over a year ago.

      Neymar was reportedly unhappy two years after leaving the Camp Nou in a world record deal, and the prospect of reuniting with Lionel Messi was seen as too good to turn down.
      Yet, the deal failed to get over the line and former Barcelona director Javier Bordas has detailed why.
      Jean-Clair Todibo and Ivan Rakitic were also involved in the mega deal, which fell through due to the transfer fee.
      He told Cadena Cope: “We offered PSG £98m plus Todibo, Rakitic and the loan of Dembele.

      “PSG wanted £116.5m plus Todibo, Rakitic and Dembele on loan.
      “Neymar was £18.5m away from coming back.
      “Neymar’s father said that he would make up the difference but in the end that didn’t happen.”
      A number of reports at the time discussed Todibo, Rakitic and Dembele as part of the deal, with varying cash offers said to be tagged onto the deal.

      Ousmane Dembele also appeared in the player-plus-cash exchange, but only on loanCredit: Getty Images – Getty
      It was even reported that French winger Dembele had rejected PSG in his bid to finally make the grade at Barcelona.
      Ultimately, Neymar stayed put and enjoyed a hugely successful 2019-20 campaign, reaching the Champions League final and winning Ligue 1.
      Rumours continue to circulate over a return to this day but the 28-year-old is said to be content at PSG while his former club struggle financially.
      Former Blaugrana chief Bordas joined the club in 2010 and served under Josep Maria Bartomeu before resigning alongside the club president.
      And he recalled how certain Barcelona stars agreed to delay their own salary in order to seal Neymar’s return.
      He added: “I personally went there and we were very keen for him to come – we tried in every way possible
      “We got PSG to tell us how much they wanted when they never accepted anything for Verratti or Marquinhos or Thiago Silva. They are not a selling club.

      Some players proposed postponing part of their salary so that Neymar could return.
      Javier Bordas

      “Some players proposed postponing part of their salary so that Neymar could return.
      “But they all had to be cut back quite a bit to make it fit in with Financial Fair Play and LaLiga.
      “However, the two times that Neymar could have returned, he would have given up a lot of money.”

      Mauro Icardi’s stunning wife Wanda Nara leaves little to imagination with sexy ‘quarantine’ lingerie photo

      by

      PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN star Mauro Icardi’s wife Wanda Nara left little to the imagination with another saucy selfie on Instagram.
      The Argentine, 33, – who doubles up as her striker husband’s agent – regularly delights her 7.2million followers on the social media site.

      Wanda Nara left little to the imagination on Instagram

      And Wanda was back at it again with a sultry lingerie selfie with a simple ‘quarantine’ as the caption.
      The picture quickly racked up nearly 300,000 likes with adoring fans littered the comments section with fire emojis.
      Another said on a separate post: “Very pretty at home.”
      A third added: “No one stops you.”

      The post was just the latest in a string of risque pictures shared by the model, agent and TV host.
      She recently shared a pool-side bikini picture and for Halloween dressed up in a revealing skin-tight leather catsuit.
      The latest picture was taken in Paris, where Icardi this summer signed a permanent deal with PSG, having spent the season beforehand on loan.
      But a battle with coronavirus and knee problems have kept the 27-year-old out of the starting squad this season.

      The forward has managed just four appearances, despite scoring two goals.
      His future at PSG now appears up in the air, just a year after leaving Inter Milan.
      He could be in line to return to the San Siro with rivals AC Milan, who are said to be interested in pairing him with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
