      Neymar hugs son Davi Lucca on yacht in Ibiza as superstar vows to stay at PSG after Champions League final heartbreak

      by

      NEYMAR was pictured hugging his son Davi Lucca on a luxurious yacht off the coast of Ibiza.
      The Brazilian superstar is enjoying a summer break on the hedonistic Spanish island having pledged his future to Paris Saint-Germain.

      Pictures show the father and son duo perched on the edge of the swanky liner.
      Neymar is pictured with his arm around the eight-year-old in a loving embrace.
      The pair – along with several of Neymar’s entourage – were also seen boarding a motorised dinghy to shore where they enjoyed some time on the beach.

      Fans surrounded the star striker where he posed for selfies before turning his attention back to his son.

      Davi had his arms slung around his father’s waist with the two grinning behind surgical masks.
      Neymar, 28, also posted several snaps of the youngster to his Instagram.

      Fans rushed to have selfies with the star on the Ibiza beach
      The images have surfaced after the PSG forward committed his future to the French club despite suffering Champions League final heartbreak with them earlier this month.
      Having reached the final against Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champions ground out a 1-0 win over Neymar’s team in Lisbon.

      But the Brazilian moved quickly to quash any rumours of a move away.
      He told PSG’s website: “I am staying at PSG next season.
      “And with the ambition to return to the Champions League final, this time to win it.
      “I like this idea of doing everything to leave my name in the history books of my club.
      “If people were doubting the presence of PSG as a great European club, those doubts died in Lisbon.
      “We left this city with the feeling of being renewed and confidence in our capacity to win it one day to write an even greater history.”

      Earlier this summer, Neymar hit headlines for playing a hilarious prank on Davi.
      He was throwing ping pong balls for his son to header before cheekily switching a ball for an egg.
      Neymar threw the egg and his unsuspecting son put his head in the way at which point it smashed all over his head.

      Ex-Man Utd flop Memphis Depay issues come and get me plea as Everton and Barcelona plot move for the Lyon forward

      by

      EX-MANCHESTER UNITED winger Memphis Depay has issued a come get me plea amid Everton and Barcelona interest.
      The Dutchman was integral in Lyon’s charge to last season’s Champions League semi-final and his form has attracted some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

      1

      Memphis Depay has issued a come get me plea amid interest from Barcelona and Everton
      Depay, 26, bagged 15 goals and two assists from 22 games for the Ligue 1 side in all competitions last season.
      And he started this campaign with a bang – scoring a hat-trick in Lyon’s 4-1 thrashing of Dijon yesterday.
      But after the game he cast doubt over his long term future with the club saying he is not sure if he will complete the season with the Ligue 1 side.

      He said: “I do not see the future, I do not know if I will do the full season here.

      “I have been here for four years, I became captain.
      “After you have to look at your career, there is no Champions League. At the moment I don’t know.
      “I’m really happy to have scored three goals today.
      “It wasn’t the best game I’ve played but we start the season with three points, and that’s the most important thing.”

      Ronald Koeman reportedly wants Depay to replace Luis Suarez at Barcelona.
      The Catalan giants are said to be planning a £36million swoop.
      Barca are set for an almighty overhaul this summer with more than a dozen players tipped to be sold.
      And Koeman is keen to bring in Depay – who he worked with while Holland boss – to replace the Uruguayan.
      Depay endured a horrendous spell at United between 2015 and 2017, scoring just twice in 33 Premier League games.
      Lyon sporting director Juninho recently admitted he may have to sell his top stars, including Depay, Houssem Aouar and Moussa Dembele.
      After Lyon beat Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final last season, Depay hit out at the Etihad outfit.
      He took to Instagram and posted an image with the caption: “Manchester is still red.”

      Arsenal target Houssem Aouar tests positive for coronavirus and will miss start of Ligue 1 season

      by

      HOUSSEM AOUAR has tested positive for coronavirus and will miss Lyon’s Ligue 1 opener with Dijon tonight.
      The French club confirmed the news not long before kick-off at the Groupama Stadium.

      1

      Aouar impressed for Lyon in their run to the Champions League semi-finals
      They confirmed that, while the 22-year-old is totally asymptomatic, that he has been placed in isolation in accordance with health guidelines.
      The talented midfielder has been linked with a number of teams after his impressive performances, including Juventus and Arsenal.
      But with no transfer having yet materialised, he appeared set to feature for Lyon in their opening fixture of the 2020-21 season.
      Having tested positive for Covid-19, however, he will instead be watching from home as he self-isolates.

      And in addition to this, he is likely to miss Lyon’s next two games against Bordeaux and Montpellier too.
      Aouar will also have to pull out of Didier Deschamps’ France squad – becoming the latest stricken midfielder to do so.

      Paul Pogba and Tanguy Ndombele pulled out having contracted coronavirus earlier this week – with Deschamps calling up 17-year-old starlet Eduardo Camavinga in their place.
      Following Lyon’s Champions League semi-final exit, Aouar has been busily preparing for the new campaign with his team-mates.

      As recently as three days ago he posted a picture of himself training alongside team-mates, including Memphis Depay ahead of the new campaign.
      Lyon have confirmed, however, that Aouar contracted coronavirus outside of the club.

      Despite interest from the Gunners, Aouar has a “clear preference” to join Juventus, Le10 Sport claim.
      The Italian side want to structure a move into a two-year loan deal with an obligation to buy.
      But it could be scuppered by Aouar’s diagnosis – although he will hopefully make a speedy recovery.

      Neymar and Di Maria trying to persuade Lionel Messi to join them at PSG and snub Man City interest

      by

      NEYMAR and Angel Di Maria have contacted Lionel Messi to convince him to join Paris Saint-Germain.
      The French side are keeping a close eye on his situation after he handed in his transfer request at Barcelona.

      According to ESPN, Neymar phoned up his former team-mate on Thursday.
      The Brazilian put forward the idea of Messi reuniting with him in Paris.
      Neymar played alongside the Argentine ace at the Nou Camp from 2013 until 2017.
      And they have remained in regular contact since the striker’s £198m switch to PSG.

      Fellow Argentina star Di Maria has also been in contact with Messi this week.

      But PSG are not the only team that are monitoring the 33-year-old’s situation.
      The six-time Ballon d’Or winner has reportedly spoken with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.
      His former agent has tipped him to join Inter Milan to renew his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo.

      And one shock report included Arsenal in the long list of clubs that want to sign him.

      Messi handed in a request to leave the club on a free transfer this summer.
      The 33-year-old demanded the club exercise a clause in his contract that will allow him to leave for nothing.
      But the Spanish side are convinced the clause has expired – and believe he will only leave for more than £199m – a world record fee.

      Wilfried Zaha ‘determined’ to leave Crystal Palace this window with PSG, Dortmund and Monaco interested in transfer

      by

      WILFRIED ZAHA is reportedly determined to find a move out of Crystal Palace this autumn.
      With the transfer window open until October 12, the winger is said to be happy to wait to find his next move.

      1

      Having failed to seal a move to Everton or Arsenal last summer, Zaha spent the season with the Eagles but failed to produce his best form.
      This time around, initial reports centred on Palace’s demand for a £70million fee for their academy product.
      According to The Guardian, the forward is still keen to leave and will remain patient during the long, coronavirus-affected market.

      Interest from these shores appears to have dried up, however.

      With ambitions of playing in the Champions League, the Ivory Coast international could head abroad with clubs in France and Germany said to be interested.
      Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco were named in a Sky Sports report about the star’s future earlier this month.
      Roy Hodgson admitted that Zaha wants a move after Palace’s slow end to the campaign saw them finish 14th.
      Hodgson said in July: “It’s a dilemma for the club and a dilemma for him if he is so set on leaving.

      Glenn Murray says now is the time for Wilfried Zaha to leave Crystal Palace
      “If he feels he just does not want to be with us any more, that would be sad.
      “We still like him very much; we can’t make him like us. This is a situation that only he and the club can sort out. I don’t have an answer.”
      Ismaila Sarr of Watford is one option for Palace should Zaha vacate his spot on the left wing.
      Already this summer, the Premier League side have secured West Brom youngster Nathan Ferguson and are closing in on a £15m switch for QPR’s Eberechi Eze. More

      by

      THIAGO SILVA is closing in on a deal to join Chelsea after Paris Saint-Germain confirmed the defender’s exit.
      The 35-year-old has run his contract down at Parc des Princes after eight years of service, with his last appearance coming in the Champions League final defeat on Sunday.

      — Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) August 27, 2020

      PSG were keen to tie the Brazilian down to a new deal, but Silva has opted to depart as he longs to play in the Premier League.
      Les Parisiens took to Twitter to say goodbye to the centre-back, as they posted a clip of his highlights at the club.
      Captioning the video, they said: “You marked the history of the club.
      “Red and Blue for life. Forever in our hearts.”

      A statement from PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi then read: “Thiago, thank you for these eight memorable years, full of lasting memories and for your involvement, your devotion and your aura.

      “You will forever be one of the greatest players in history, and your legendary status here at PSG will last forever.
      “I wish you and your family the best for your future challenges, you will always be part of the family and the history of the club, a big thank you captain!”
      SunSport reported on Wednesday how Silva has already agreed a deal to join the West Londoners.

      A two-year contract has been rumoured to be on the table for Silva, who has already posted an emotional farewell to PSG fans.
      He wrote on Thursday: “Today a cycle ends, after eight years with the @psg team.

      Barcelona eye Moussa Dembele as Luis Suarez replacement after Henrik Larsson ‘makes contact’ with ex-Celtic striker

      by

      FORMER Celtic star Moussa Dembele is being lined up for a stunning switch to Barcelona – by Henrik Larsson.
      Lyon are ready to sell the French striker, two years after his £20million switch from Parkhead.

      Celtic legend and Barcelona No2 Henrik Larsson has reportedly been in contact with the striker
      Dembele has been a huge success in France, netting 44 goals – including a double in the Champions League quarter-final win over Manchester City.
      But after Lyon failed to qualify for Europe after finishing seventh in Ligue 1, they are willing to cash in on Dembele.
      And Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims Parkhead icon and new Barca No2 Larsson has already been in contact with the 24-year-old over a move to the Camp Nou.
      Larsson – who was appointed Ronald Koeman’s assistant last week – sees Dembele as an ideal replacement for Luis Suarez, who is set to leave this summer.

      Dembele is also wanted by Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea and could command upwards of £50m.
      Celtic cannily negotiated a sell-on clause which is estimated to earn them 10-15 per cent of any fee above the £20m fee they received when he left Glasgow in 2018 – meaning they could land as much as £5m from any deal.
      And Lyon’s director of football Juninho admitted the former Celt is likely to move on.

      Luis Suarez is set to leave Barcelona this summer

      Speaking after the semi-final defeat to Champions League winners Bayern Munich, he said: “If we continue the way we have, we will be back in the Champions League very soon.

      “Players will be leaving, like Houssem Aouar and Moussa Dembele, but I’m not worried.
      “We want to secure Champions League football next season.”
