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

    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

    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.

    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.

    “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

    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.

    PSG star Neymar has been in ‘open relationship’ with stunning singer Gabily for last eight months

    It is said that Neymar first contacted Gabily, real name Gabriel Batista, over Instagram at the start of the pandemic.
    The pair have reportedly met a number of times throughout the coronavirus crisis.
    This includes a trip to Paris for Gabily, who stayed at a hotel while meeting Neymar before spending a number of days at his home with her friends.
    Most recently, they have spent time together in Brazil.

    But it is insisted that the couple are not exclusively committed to one another, maintaining an ‘open relationship’.
    Yet to go public on their reported romance, Neymar did hint at his relationship with Gabily when appearing in an Instagram video of the singer’s in July.
    Rio de Janeiro-born popstar Gabily is signed to Universal in Brazil and released her debut studio album earlier this year, after success with hits including ‘Voce Gosta Assim’ and ‘Cansei de Ser Fiel’.
    Neymar, meanwhile, is sitting out Brazil’s World Cup qualifiers this month due to a groin injury.

    The 28-year-old winger’s romantic life has often attracted interest.
    In 2011, he had a son, Davi Lucca, with former girlfriend Carolina Dantas.
    For a number of years, Neymar was said to be in a relationship with Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine before being recently linked to model Natalia Barulich.

    Real Madrid ‘confident they CAN complete Kylian Mbappe transfer deal next summer for £161m if star refuses PSG contract’

    REAL MADRID are ready to wrap up a sensational £161million deal for Kylian Mbappe – if he refuses to sign an extension to his Paris Saint-Germain contract.
    The France World Cup winner has been Los Blancos’ top target for the last two years.

    Madrid newspaper AS claim the Spanish giants are confident they can secure Mbappe’s transfer.
    The 21-year-old hitman is considering all options.
    He joined PSG from Monaco in July 2018.
    Mbappe’s contract expires in June 2022.

    He can sign a pre-contract with a club outside France in 14 months’ time.
    Bernabeu chief Zinedine Zidane has long been a fan of his fellow countryman.
    He would like to link Mbappe up with his fellow countryman Karim Benzema.
    Real are restructuring their finances to bring in the cash to turn the Mbappe transfer into reality.

    They will make £33m this season from offsetting wages they would have spent on James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale.
    They also brought in £27m from Tottenham for Spain left-back Sergio Reguilon.
    Madrid chiefs know that if Mbappe signs a new deal then his transfer value will rocket.
    They hope he will run down his contract so they can get him next year for £161m.

    Neymar sent home from Brazil squad through injury and will miss World Cup 2022 qualifiers against Venezuela and Uruguay

    NEYMAR has been sent home from the Brazilian squad due to injury and will miss both World Cup 2022 qualifiers.
    The ace will be forced to sit out encounters against Venezuela and Uruguay due to a leg strain.

    While the management knew he would be absent for the first game, it was hoped he would recover in time to face Uruguay.
    Brazil’s national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said: “We were hopeful that he could play, that’s why we brought him to Brazil.
    “He improved but not enough so that he’ll be ready for the game on Tuesday against Uruguay. The backroom staff decided to release Neymar.”
    PSG manager Thomas Tuchel was critical of all the games players are involved in for both club and country following football’s suspension after the outbreak of Covid-19.

    He said last month: “We’re going to kill the players. That’s what I’ve always said.
    “We are going to kill them because there is an important link between preparation, performance and rest.
    “In football it always falls on the greatest players because they will always play for their country.
    “They play during the break, they travel and that’s too much in my opinion. They don’t have a recovery phase to allow them to come back and a preparation phase.

    “That is not a secret, it happens in sport. Preparation influences injuries and performance.

    “Without preparation, players are more fragile and difficult to manage. This is not an excuse, this is the truth. We are going to look for solutions and I hope we will find some.”
    Neymar returns to France amid rumours he is ready to quit PSG in the summer.
    Reports today suggest some of Barcelona’s presidential candidates want him to return and he is open to offers.
