Transfer News: Neymar, Pogba and 7 Other Superstars Set to Switch Clubs
>Neymar Junior is unhappy at the Parc des Princes and will try to engineer a move away from PSG this summer. The Brazilian forward, 27, wants to rejoin Barcelona, the club he departed two years ago for a world-record fee of 222 million. It is believed that the French champions have no intention to sell their star player just yet, a situation that reduces the chances of the forward reuniting with his former teammates, Messi and Suarez.
>Barcelona’s President, Josep Maria Bartomeu has confirmed that the Blaugrana are interested in signing Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid. The French World Cup winner who only signed a five-year contract extension last season for Diego Simeone’s side has turned around to state that he has played his last game for the club. The La Liga champions are willing to pay Griezmann’s release clause which is reportedly close 130 million.
>Paul Pogba’s super agent, Mino Raiola, has revealed that the France star is in the process of leaving Manchester United. Juventus and Real Madrid are the likely destinations for a player who was the Red Devils’ top-scorer in all competitions last season.
The midfielder was a world-record signing at $111 million when he joined from Juventus in 2016.
>- With no suitors coming in for Gareth Bale, it is understood that Real Madrid are eager to include the Wales forward in a potential deal for Manchester United and France midfielder, Paul Pogba.
>Arsenal and Crystal Palace are locked in a stiff jam over Wilfried Zaha. The Ivoirian winger, currently gunning for glory at the AFCON Championships, favours a move to the Emirates. The Gunners, however, are not prepared to meet Palace’s 80 million pound estimation of the player.
>Leicester City’s defender, Harry Maguire, is at the centre of a transfer tussle as city rivals – Manchester United and Manchester City – battle for the signature of the England international. The 26 year-old is however thought to prefer Pep Guardiola’s champions as he wants to play Champions League football.
>It may be the perfect time for Arsenal’s long standing defender, Laurent Koscielny, to move on as his 33 year-old legs continue to struggle to cope with the rigours of the Premier League. Bordeaux have expressed interest in taking the two-time FA Cup winner back to the Ligue 1.
>-Despite playing a key role in Tottenham Hotspurs’ incredible run to the Champions League Final, star midfielder, Christian Eriksen, is keen on moving on to greener pastures. The Danish playmaker, 27, has set his sights on joining Real Madrid.
>Romelu Lukaku is caught in no man’s land as parent club Manchester United and Serie A side Inter Milan continue to play a game of cats and rats over the striker’s transfer. The Red Devils are willing to listen to offers for the Belgium international but the San Siro giants are stalling on an official bid for the former Everton goal-getter.
