      PSG in ‘advanced talks’ with Sergio Ramos after Neymar ‘urges pal to make transfer’ ahead of Man City

      by

      SERGIO RAMOS is reportedly on the verge of signing for Paris Saint-Germain.After 16 years at Real Madrid, the veteran defender became a free agent on Thursday and already has his eye on his next destination.

      The defender is reportedly nearing a move to Paris Saint-Germain
      Manchester City, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and PSG were all said to have been monitoring the Spaniard as his exit from Los Blancos became clear.
      But it is Les Parisiens who have pulled ahead in the race for his signature, according to ESPN.
      Sporting director Leonardo is said to have accelerated talks in the middle of June and progress has been made this week.
      It is claimed that a final decision on his future will be made in the coming days.
      Ramos split from Real having been denied a two-year contract but PSG have also not offered the longer deal.
      Instead, a one-year stay with the option of a second season has been put on the table – with the clause only triggered if both sides agree to do so.

      Ramos will reportedly take a significant pay cut from his Real Madrid wages
      The 35-year-old would also take home a smaller salary than Madrid had offered, which itself was a cut on his original pay packet.
      Former Clasico rival Neymar, described as a friend of Ramos, has also reportedly urged the player to make the switch to PSG.
      Mauricio Pochettino’s side failed to win either Ligue 1 or the Champions League last campaign, falling short in the final weeks of both competitions.
      The coach is said to want extra experience and leadership added to his squad this summer, with Ramos boasting over 700 club appearances.

      It is said that he views Paris as a better location for his family of TV presenter wife Pilar Rubio and their four sons.
      Old team-mates Angel Di Maria and Keylor Navas play for PSG along with Spaniards Ander Herrera, Pablo Sarabia, Sergio Rico and Juan Bernat.
      An ambitious summer is being organised at minimal expense in the French capital with free agents Georginio Wijnaldum and Gianluigi Donnarumma also on their way.

      Mbappe in showdown talks with PSG president over new £430k-a-week contract amid Liverpool and Madrid transfer interest

      by

      KYLIAN MBAPPE is in showdown talks with Paris Saint-Germain’s president over a new £430,000-a-week contract, according to reports.The French superstar’s contract expires next summer as transfer interest hots up from Liverpool and Real Madrid.

      Negotiations between Mbappe’s agents and PSG sporting director Leonardo had failed to result in a new deal getting signed.
      Leonardo was apparently more fixated on impressing the striker with finances rather than on-pitch ambitions.
      And according to Get French Football News, president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has taken over the talks to try and tie Mbappe down.
      A source said: “Nasser gets on very well with the family and has done since Kylian’s signing in 2017.
      “There is a real respect between them.”
      Any new deal is expected to see Mbappe rewarded with a slight pay rise from his current £430k-a-week pre-tax package.
      But Mbappe is thought to be more concerned with the Parc des Princes project – and wants to see Achraf Hakimi and Gianluigi Donnarumma follow Georginio Wijnaldum into the club.
      The report adds there have been further complications with several representatives getting involved wanting a cut.

      Mbappe, who signed for PSG permanently for £162million in 2018, is widely considered one of the best footballers on the planet and expected to win several Ballons d’Or.
      He scored 42 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions last season but it was a campaign that ended in disappointment for PSG after their Ligue 1 and Champions League failures.
      Liverpool and Real Madrid both want to sign Mbappe.
      Neither club, however, have made an official approach to do so because they cannot fund a deal this summer due to the effects of the pandemic.
      They are therefore hoping Mbappe refuses to put pen to paper and leaves as a free agent next summer.
      PSG, of course, are desperate not to allow that to happen – especially with the World Cup being staged in Qatar, where PSG’s owner Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani is the head of state.

      Chelsea transfer blow as Achraf Hakimi’s agent confirms Inter star is set for PSG move

      by

      CHELSEA have been dealt a transfer blow with Achraf Hakimi’s agent confirming his client is set for Paris Saint-Germain.The right-back, 22, has been linked with a move away from the San Siro in recent months.

      But the Moroccan looks on course to link up with Mauricio Pochettino at the Parc des Princes rather than Thomas Tuchel in West London.
      His agent did not reveal a contract is signed just yet with the French giants – but hinted it is very close.
      Alejandro Camano told reporters: “We talked about several things, we can’t say yet that Hakimi is a new PSG player.
      “We talked about everything.
      “If Hakimi is sad to leave Inter? Those who leave Inter are always sad.”
      Hakimi spent 14 years with hometown club Real Madrid before joining Inter last summer on a five-year deal for around £36million.
      But just one successful season later – he racked up seven goals and ten assists in 37 Serie A appearances as the Nerazzurri won the league – the defender will move on.
      European champions Chelsea were interested and reportedly offered £52m plus Marcos Alonso.

      But Poch has swooped with a £59.8m bid and that is expected to be enough to land the attack-minded wing-back.
      Camano also represents Inter striker Lautaro Martinez, who is another player linked with a move away.
      But he insisted the Argentina international striker is settled in Milan.
      The agent added: “Martinez stays here, now he’s in Argentina for the Copa America.
      “Lautaro is an Inter player, he has a two-year contract and is happy here.”

      Kylian Mbappe has ‘oversized ego’ and it’s a problem for France at Euro 2020, says former PSG winger Jerome Rothen

      by

      FORMER Paris Saint-Germain winger Jerome Rothen believes Kylian Mbappe’s ‘oversized ego’ is proving to be problematic for France.The 43-year-old, who won 13 caps for Les Bleus, has stated that Didier Deschamps is struggling to control the Les Parisiens striker’s attitude.

      Mbappe was involved in a public spat with Olivier Giroud prior to Euro 2020 where the Chelsea ace aimed a dig towards the 22-year-old.
      The ex-Arsenal centre-forward accused Mbappe of failing to pass to him during the 3-0 friendly win against Bulgaria.
      His statement left Mbappe feeling ‘frustrated’ and ‘angry’, while he insisted that Giroud’s comments ‘affected’ him ahead of the tournament.
      Mbappe started all three of France’s Euro 2020 group games, but failed to chip in with a goal or assist with his performances questioned.
      And ex-Rangers loanee Rothen – part of France’s Euro 2004 squad – has hit out at Mbappe as he claimed no-one can be satisfied with his displays so far.
      He told RMC Sport: “That he is the leader on the pitch, no problem… that it [his ego] extends to off the field too, that bothers me.
      “I think Didier Deschamps can no longer manage it and it is problematic. It is even surprising that he lets Kylian Mbappe do so many things.
      “It can be seen in his performances on the pitch. Today, we cannot say that Kylian Mbappe has had a successful Euros.

      “Is he in the right like he was at PSG throughout the end of the season? I would say no.
      “We expect much better from Kylian Mbappe. Everyone thinks that Mbappe is one of the best players in Europe.
      “But if you immediately put him in the category of the very best, you cannot be satisfied.”
      Mbappe is heading into the final year of his contract at Parc des Princes and has been linked with a shock move away this summer.
      It has been reported that Real Madrid could make a swoop for the player after Euro 2020.

      Achraf Hakimi has reportedly agreed personal terms with PSG
      The French side are expected to bid €70m [£60m], including add ons, to confirm the deal, per Fabrizio Romano.
      Hakimi could become PSG’s third arrival of the summer, following in the footsteps of Georginio Wijnaldum and Danilo Pereira, whose loan was made permanent.
      The full-back agreeing a deal with PSG is a big blow for Chelsea.
      The Blues had been plotting a cash-plus-player exchange for Hakimi, 22, with Inter holding out for £60m.
      Marcos Alonso, Emerson Palmieri, Andreas Christensen and Davide Zappacosta are the four players who were reportedly being considered in a potential swap deal.
