    Cristiano Ronaldo ‘to be offered to PSG in sensational Neymar swap transfer with Man Utd also in for Juventus star’

    JUVENTUS star Cristiano Ronaldo could reportedly head to Paris Saint-Germain next summer in a sensational swap deal with Neymar.
    The 35-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Old Lady with it said the Serie A side want to get him off the wage bill for financial reasons.

    Cristiano Ronaldo has scored six Serie A goals in just four games this season

    Paris Saint-Germain ace Neymar has two years left to run on his contract at Parc des Princes

    Ronaldo – who has a contract in Turin until 2022 – is believed to be on around £540,000-a-week, almost four times more than the club’s next highest paid player Matthijs de Ligt.
    Like the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, PSG forward Neymar – who earns over £600k-a-week in Paris – also has two year left on his contract.
    And despite Neymar pocketing a considerable amount more than the Real Madrid legend, it has been claimed that Juve would be open to bringing in the Brazilian.
    According to Tuttomercatoweb, PSG would have no trouble matching Ronaldo’s wage demands, while Juve wouldn’t rule out signing Neymar.

    However it looks unlikely that the deal will come to fruition given how Juventus are struggling for funds amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
    PSG sporting director Leonardo has talked up a move for Ronaldo should he decide to depart Italy.
    He told PSGTV: “Today in football we do not know what will happen.
    “Maybe tomorrow Cristiano Ronaldo wakes up and says I want to go play elsewhere.

    “Who can buy him? It’s a closed circle. PSG enters this circle. Usually it is about opportunities, situations.
    “The transfer window, we have to prepare for it and that’s what we do. We have our priorities, our lists, but something unforeseen can happen.”
    As well as PSG, it has been reported that Manchester United are in talks over a deal to bring him back to Old Trafford.
    And MLS side Inter Miami are also among the favourites to land the Portugal skipper who has scored six Serie A goals in four games this season.

    Wanda Nara sizzles with topless selfie leaving little to imagination as Mauro Icardi’s wife sends Instagram crazy

    WANDA NARA left little to the imagination after uploading a topless selfie on Instagram.
    Mauro Icardi’s wife teased her followers as she posed with only her arm covering her top half.

    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 striker 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.
    And he could be in line to return to the San Siro with rivals AC Milan, who have a reported interest in the forward.
    According to A BOLA, Icardi has been identified by as the man to help fire them the Serie A giants into the Champions League.

    Milan also see him as not only an ideal partner for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 39, and also his successor when the Swede finally hangs up his boots.
    Icardi scored 20 goals in just 31 matches in all competitions last season.

    But his time in France was nearly cut short when reports claimed PSG planned to terminate his loan deal early after his wife claimed he wanted to leave when his deal expired at the end of the season.
    A BOLA also report that Nara, who acts as his agent, is the reason he is open to a move back to Italy as she is keen to go back.
    She was instrumental to his departure from Inter when she responded to some backlash her husband had been getting.
    Her remarks led to him being stripped of the club captaincy, which he was furious about and he in turn refused to play in a Europa League clash against Rapid Vienna.

    Cristiano Ronaldo may have to settle for second top earner if he makes PSG transfer as club’s top five wages revealed

    CRISTIANO RONALDO may have to settle for second best if he makes the move to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
    For once, the Portuguese superstar may not be the highest-paid player in his team.

    Cristiano Ronaldo would earn less than Neymar if PSG offered to match his current salary

    Juventus are reportedly planning to cash in on the 35-year-old before his contract expires in 2022.
    PSG sporting director Leonardo has already indicated their interest in the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
    It is expected that the Ligue 1 side will have to at least match Ronaldo’s current wages to secure his signature.
    He rakes in £540,000 a week – nearly FOUR times as much as the club’s next highest paid player Matthijs de Ligt.

    But it will be a different story if he makes the move to France.
    Neymar, 28, sits firmly at the top of the pile with wages of more than £600,000-per-week.
    Kylian Mbappe would be the third highest-paid player on £400,000-per-week.
    But PSG are believed to be ‘talking directly’ with both of the players over new contracts.

    Mbappe, 21, has long been touted for a move to Real Madrid.
    While Neymar, 28, is repeatedly linked with a return to Barcelona.
    Edinson Cavani and Thiago Silva were also among the highest-paid players at PSG until this summer.
    But Cavani, 33, joined Manchester United and Silva, 36, made a move to Chelsea.

    How PSG could line up with Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe as French side CONFIRM transfer interest in Juventus star

    CRISTIANO RONALDO would slot right into the Paris Saint-Germain line-up if the French side can complete an audacious swoop for the star.
    Les Parisiens sporting director Leonardo has asserted that his side are capable of pulling off a deal for the 35-year-old.

    Should he arrive, the forward could play anywhere in an awesome frontline – rotating around Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
    Plenty of attacking threat would come from the midfield too with Angel Di Maria and Marco Verratti providing the ammunition.
    Idrissa Gueye is also capable of bombing into the box and gobbling up Ronaldo’s knockdowns.
    And options off the bench would be pretty reasonable as well, including Mauro Icardi, Leandro Paredes and Rafinha.

    Leonardo has claimed that PSG are set to bounce back well from the coronavirus pandemic’s financial crisis.
    Despite saying that his side are going without at least 20 per cent of their income during the chaos, the Brazilian is confident that his side can afford Ronaldo.

    Maybe tomorrow Cristiano Ronaldo wakes up and says I want to go play elsewhere.

    Reports suggest Juve are dealing less well with the pandemic and could hear out offers for their star striker.
    If that is the case, Leonardo believes PSG could be first in line.

    He told PSGTV: “Today in football we do not know what will happen.
    “Maybe tomorrow Cristiano Ronaldo wakes up and says I want to go play elsewhere.

    “Who can buy him? It’s a closed circle.
    “PSG enters this circle. Usually it is about opportunities, situations.
    “The transfer window, we have to prepare for it and that’s what we do. We have our priorities, our lists, but something unforeseen can happen.”

    PSG confirm entering Cristiano Ronaldo transfer race as chief Leonardo reveals ‘maybe he will quit’ Juventus tomorrow

    PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have opened the door to a sensational move for Cristiano Ronaldo.
    The Juventus winger continues to be linked with a move to the big-spending Ligue 1 champions.

    And sporting director Leonardo believes PSG are one of the few teams capable of doing a deal.
    He told PSGTV: “Today in football we do not know what will happen.
    “Maybe tomorrow Cristiano Ronaldo wakes up and says I want to go play elsewhere.
    “Who can buy him? It’s a closed circle.

    “PSG enters this circle. Usually it is about opportunities, situations.
    “The transfer window, we have to prepare for it and that’s what we do. We have our priorities, our lists, but something unforeseen can happen.”

    How PSG could line-up with the Portuguese superstar
    Ronaldo, 35, earns approximately £540,000-a-week at Juventus and has led the side to Serie A titles in each of his two years in Turin.
    Amid the coronavirus pandemic, even the richest clubs have suffered financially and PSG are no different.

    Yet Leonardo has stated that the club’s ‘ambition’ and ‘capacity’ to push ahead regardless is strong.
    He continued: “Last year we lost between 15 and 20 per cent [income] and this year it will be more.
    “But honestly, at PSG, there is the capacity and the means to overcome the crisis.
    “The other clubs will perhaps have more difficulty to overcome the crisis. But the ambition here is always enormous.”

    Juventus sit fifth in the Serie A table after drawing four of their opening seven games under Andrea Pirlo.
    Ronaldo continued his run of scoring in every league game he has played this season, netting six times either side of a spell out with coronavirus.
    Reports in Spain have already suggested that the Old Lady are open to offers for the veteran, whose contract runs to 2022.
    According to Sport, the severe impact of the pandemic on the club has made a sale possible with Ronaldo also linked to Manchester United and Wolves.

    PSG open contract talks with Neymar and Real Madrid transfer target Mbappe, confirms club chief Leonardo

    PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are ‘talking directly’ with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe over new contracts, sporting director Leonardo has revealed.
    The superstar duo both arrived in the French capital back in 2017.

    But rumours have rumbled over the pair wanting moves to Spain in recent times.
    Mbappe, 21, has long been touted for a move to Real Madrid.
    While Neymar, 28, is repeatedly linked with a return to Barcelona.
    But Leonardo is working on extending both deals beyond 2022.

    And Angel Di Maria, whose deal expires at the end of this season, could also be sticking around.
    Leonardo, 51, told PSG’s website: “We’ve started negotiations with Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria to extend their contracts.”
    And the star trio aren’t the only players that the Brazilian is working on tying down.
    He continued: “Bernat, too, and Draxler is at the end of his contract. Some young people too. We will intensify this.

    “Remember that PSG suffered financial losses this year, we’re in a complicated moment and it’s not easy, but we’re talking directly with Mbappe and Neymar.
    “There is a question of timing. The idea of an extension exists. We have arrived at the moment when we must have clearer situations.”
    PSG surprisingly opted to borrow Everton striker Moise Kean for the season, after the Italian struggled to dislodge Dominic Calvert-Lewin at Goodison.
    The 20-year-old has hit the ground running at Parc des Princes, but the Ligue 1 club do NOT have the option to make the deal permanent.
    Leonardo added: “We don’t have an option to buy Moise Kean, unfortunately.
    “He’s here on loan from Everton. Kean is a great striker for the future, but loan deals in the UK are a bit different, an option to buy is not included in our deal with Everton.”

    Cristiano Ronaldo’s five potential transfer options if Juventus cash in including Man Utd, PSG… and Wolves

    CRISTIANO RONALDO will have no shortage of options if Juventus decide to sell him next summer.
    The Serie A side are reportedly planning to cash in on the 35-year-old before his contract expires in 2022.

    Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo rakes in a whopping £540,000-per-week in Turin.
    But given the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, a contract renewal is unlikely.
    To avoid losing him on a free, Juventus could be forced to sell him next summer.
    They will be hoping to recoup some of the £99million they forked out to sign him in 2018 from Real Madrid.

    But which teams will be in the race to sign the Portuguese superstar? SunSport have pulled together five of the most likely options.
    Manchester United
    The Red Devils would welcome Ronaldo back with open arms – but his wage requests could pose a problem.
    David De Gea is their highest-paid player on £375,000-per-week, which is less than Ronaldo would demand.
    Ronaldo played for United from 2003 until 2009 after he joined from Sporting Lisbon for just £12.24m.

    He shot to fame at Old Trafford after scoring 118 goals in 292 appearances for the club.
    No doubt United fans would love to see him link up alongside Portugal team-mate Bruno Fernandes in the starting line-up.
    Paris Saint-Germain
    Ronaldo has dominated the Premier League with United, LaLiga with Real Madrid and Serie A with Juventus.
    The 35-year-old would surely jump at the chance to conquer France’s top-flight before he hangs up his boots.
    PSG have reportedly lined up a move for Ronaldo as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
    He has entertained the idea of joining Thomas Tuchel’s side in the past.
    And reports from France claim he came close to joining them before the coronavirus lockdown hit.

    Inter Miami
    Ronaldo told former team-mate Nani that he will ‘probably play’ in America’s MLS.
    Nani, who plays for Orlando City, said: “A couple of years ago, he told me that he will probably end up in America.
    “It’s not 100 per cent but probably. There is a chance.”
    Ronaldo would reunite with former Real Madrid team-mate Gonzalo Hugain if he joined Inter Miami.
    David Beckham’s team have also set their sights on snapping up Sergio Ramos.

    Wolves
    A shock contender for Ronaldo’s signature could be Premier League side Wolves.
    And that is because of Portuguese super agent Jorge Mendes.
    Mendes acts as an adviser to Wolves and some of his clients have ended up joining them as a result.
    He manages Ronaldo as well as Jose Mourinho, James Rodriuez, Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria.

    China
    If he’s demanding the big bucks, China would be a smart move for Ronaldo.
    In 2016, it was reported by Mendes that an un-named Chinese club offered Madrid £270m to sign him.
    They were allegedly prepared to pay him around £90m-per-year in wages.
    Lionel Messi has also refused to rule out a move to China and looks to set to leave Barcelona when his deal expires.
    Could the two greatest players on the planet both wind down their careers together in China? We’ll see.

    Renato Sanches to be offered second Premier League chance after Swansea nightmare as Wolves eye transfer

    WOLVES are planning a January move for Lille’s former Premier League flop Renato Sanches, according to reports.
    The Portugal midfielder has rebuilt his reputation with the French club, helping them go second in Ligue 1.

    Sanches had a disastrous spell on loan to Swansea three seasons ago as the Welsh club dropped out of the top flight.
    However the former Benfica and Bayern Munich starlet has since recaptured the form that saw him win the 2016 Golden Boy prize for Europe’s best player under the age of 21.
    Wolves’ Portuguese boss Nuno Espirito Santo has raided his home country to bring a host of players to Molineux since taking charge in 2017.
    And he is now reported by CalcioMercato to want to add 21-cap Sanches to his squad during the January window.

    The player is thought to be tempted by a second crack at the Premier League, believing he has unfinished business in England.
    And the prospects of linking up with NINE Portuguese first-teamers, plus being managed by fellow countryman Nuno, are sure to act as further incentives.

    However Lille will likely play hardball for Sanches, who became their record signing when arriving from Bayern in a £22m deal two summers ago.
    The Amadora-born midfielder is under contract with the northern French club until 2023.

    Sanches managed just 12 appearances during his ill-fated spell with Swansea.
    He was once subbed at half-time after apparently passing the ball to an advertising board – believing it to be a teammate.
