      De Jong, 25, was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League last summer as Barcelona put him under an ultimatum to leave or cut his salary.

      In the aftermath of their latest European disappointment, PSG chiefs are plotting a rebuild ahead of next season.
      It’s claimed that they could move on from Neymar and Lionel Messi – with the latter still being linked with Inter Miami despite PSG contract talks.
      In their bid to re-tool around Kylian Mbappe, they could turn to Haaland.
      According to French reporter Daniel Riolo, PSG could “begin a new story” around Mbappe and City’s Norwegian striker.

      Chatting to Football.fr, he admitted that there are doubts around whether City’s Abu Dhabi ownership would sell to PSG’s Qatari chiefs.
      But the French side could navigate this potential problem by simply forking out Haaland’s release clause, believed to be around £175m.
      PSG boss Christophe Galtier’s job is hanging by a thread after his side’s 3-0 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich.
      Riolo reckons that the Ligue 1 table-toppers could appease Mbappe by appointing Zinedine Zidane this summer, despite the Real Madrid legend’s affinity for fierce rivals Marseille.

      To team Mbappe and Haaland up, PSG would have to sell a number of players in order to comply with financial fair play.
      They could face competition from Real Madrid for Haaland’s signature.
      The LaLiga champions are enamoured with the Norwegian and could launch a bid this summer, despite previously having been expected to wait until 2024.
      Madrid chiefs are building the best young core in Europe, with Vinicius Jr, Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni and Endrick.
      And in a further enticing factor to Haaland they are determined to add his old Borussia Dortmund pal Jude Bellingham to an already stacked midfield.
      L’Equipe claim that, in addition to Haaland, PSG football advisor Luis Campos is interested in a trio of attacking stars.
      They report that the French giants could move for Manchester City star Bernardo Silva, his Portugal team-mate Goncalo Ramos and Napoli sensation Victor Osimhen.

      The 23-year-old has scored 12 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions.
      He also grabbed the winner against Tottenham in the FA Cup earlier this month.
      Ndiaye can operate as a central striker, out on the wing or in attacking midfield.
      And that versatility makes him an attractive proposition to a number of Premier League and foreign clubs.

      Tottenham ready to launch cut-price transfer for Jordan Pickford as England keeper has hidden clause in new Everton deal

      Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez is also another option for SpursCredit: Getty
      And Pickford is STILL their first choice even after committing to his long Goodison deal.
      Pickford’s value will depend on what happens with Everton at the end of the season.
      If they are relegated, there is an agreement that he can be sold.
      Pickford’s price would be lower as a Championship player but the Toffees would still want around £35million — although that could be haggled down.
      READ MORE ON SPURS
      The 29-year-old’s contract signing last month was a timely boost for new boss Sean Dyche, who wanted it sorted out as a priority — as revealed in this column.
      However, the reality is that Pickford WILL be sold if Everton are demoted.
      And the wages on offer at Goodison and Tottenham are pretty much the same.
      If there are any snags with Pickford, Spurs are likely to make an inquiry for Aston Villa’s Argentinian World Cup winner Emi Martinez.

      Villa could cash in on Martinez, 30, at the right price but that will be around the same fee as Pickford.
