Messi calls Neymar about Barcelona transfer

Lionel Messi has reportedly been calling Neymar to try and get the move from Paris Saint-Germain over the line.

Spanish newspaper AS claims the Argentine has been on the phone to his old team-mate almost every day talking about their potential reunion.

Neymar is also said to have reaffirmed his desire to return to Barcelona.

Real Madrid are still confident they can pip their arch rivals to sign the Brazilian.

Oriol Busquets leaving on loan

Eredivisie side FC Twente are plotting a loan deal for Oriol Busquets according to Sport.

The Barcelona holding midfielder wants to gain some valuable senior experience after impressing in the academy.

He has only played once for the first team but hopes to eventually replace his namesake Sergio.

Barcelona want to keep the star but are open to loaning him out.

Barcelona given Neymar ultimatum

According to Catalan outlet RAC1, PSG have told Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu that if they fail to present an acceptable offer for Neymar by midday, they will begin negotiations with Real Madrid.

The Bernabeu is the Brazilian’s second-choice destination should he leave PSG, which is now looking likely.

Barca will now have to act quickly if the threat is true.

Juventus are still outsiders for a potential deal behind both Spanish giants.

Rakitic makes decision on future

Ivan Rakitic has decided to stay put at Barcelona, despite interest from a number of clubs in both England and Italy.

That’s according to Marca, who also claim that the club are pleased with the Croatian’s decision.

Rakitic came on as Barcelona went down 1-0 at Athletic Bilbao last Friday.

Philippe Coutinho’s loan move to Bayern Munich has eased the pressure on competition for places in midfield, despite Frenkie de Jong’s arrival from Ajax.

Real Madrid propose latest swap deal for Neymar

Spanish reporter Guillem Balague has rubbished reports of Real Madrid’s latest offer, but he has revealed a new swap deal proposal is on the cards.

“Published by L’Equipe this morning, it says they made an offer of £100million plus James, Bale and Navas is not true,” he told Radio 5Live.

“But they do want to offer players and cash.

“When they offer players, they will offer Navas, who of course was on the cover of Marca yesterday with the story saying he wants to leave.

“Navas, maybe James and Jovic.

“Luka Jovic is going to be offered to PSG, if they want him, as a possibility to bring Neymar to Real Madrid.”

Neto – £23.4m (Valencia)

Junior Firpo – £16.2m (Real Betis)

Neymar confident of Barcelona move

Neymar is said to be confident that Paris Saint-Germain will let him join Barcelona, but only if the La Liga giants up their offer.

Barcelona have already seen two bids pegged back, both with a view to signing Brazilian on loan with an obligation to buy him next summer.

PSG have eyed Juventus forward Paulo Dybala as a potential replacement.

Despite the two bids being rejected, Spanish outlet Sport claim Neymar is confident PSG will allow him to leave if the Catalans raise their current offer on the table.

Neymar deal upsets Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi is one of several Barcelona players upset with president Josep Bartomeu over a potential deal for Neymar.

Barca have seen two bids rejected by Paris Saint-Germain, both of which were loans which included an obligation to buy.

Now Messi is worried that the two clubs will not be able to shake hands on a deal before the September 2 deadline.

The Argentine believes a reunion with Neymar gives Barcelona the best possible chance of winning the Champions League.

Real Madrid representatives in Paris for Neymar talks

Real Madrid have reportedly sent delegates to Paris to thrash out a deal for Neymar, according to Marca.

Los Blancos are going head-to-head with El Clasico rivals Barcelona to land the Brazilian this summer.

He is yet to feature this season while PSG work on sanctioning his exit.

The likes of James Rodriguez, Keylor Navas and Gareth Bale could all be used as sweeteners in a potential deal.

Inter Milan want Arturo Vidal loan

Inter Milan have reportedly failed in an attempt to sign Arturo Vidal on loan.

That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who state the Italians have been told the player is not available this summer.

Competition for places in Ernesto Valverde’s midfield is high, but the Chilean wants to prove himself and win trophies.

He was left out of the squad for last week’s La Liga opener where Barca went down 1-0 to Athletic Club.
