Neymar hits back at journalist who questions PSG playing with 4 attackers after 3-3 draw with Monaco

Speaking in the mixed zone after PSG’s 3-3 draw with AS Monaco tonight, Brazilian superstar Neymar responded sharply to a question from a journalist about whether playing with four attackers (Neymar, Mbappé, Icardi & Di Marìa) hurts the balance of the team.

“We scored 3 goals. I think that it worked well. We have quality, we know it. I think you made a mistake with this question but I responded… This was a very difficult match. We knew that we were going to encounter difficulties because they have a good team, with quality. It was a good test. We are happy. This was not the best match of our season. We are going to improve each time to pull off a great campaign.”

Atletico Madrid are in active negotiations with PSG to sign Edinson Cavani this month

The French outlet claims that Cavani’s agreement with Atletico is actually a 2.5 year contract which is only currently valid if he were to join them this month.

The Spanish club wants to beat competition from Chelsea and Manchester United, who are both interested in acquiring the 32-year-old on a free transfer in summer, by offering PSG a transfer fee to take him off their hands in January.

Talks to this effect are currently ongoing, but the Paris club does not want to let their highest goalscorer in club history leave in the middle of the season.

This is a newsflash for Cavani’s camp, because at the end of 2019, it was more the player who was really wanting to go to the end of his Paris contract. His lack of recent playing time had under Thomas Tuchel since convinced him to be open to the idea of a January departure.

RMC confirm Manchester United and Chelsea interest in Cavani, but as of yet only for the summer window.

L’Équipe report that Lyon and 2 English sides have made contact with Ligue 1 side Reims over the possible January signing of left-sided player Hassane Kamara.

SDR are looking for at least €5m for a player contracted to them until 2021.

Reims have already rejected an offer from RCD Mallorca worth €3m for the player in recent hours, but are not closing the door to the player’s departure. It is expected that the other three sides in the race will show their hand shortly.

18:25 CET: The same outlet has since learned that Ligue 1 side Reims have now rejected a second proposal, from an unnamed Premier League side, worth €5m.

This is certainly not the end of the story…

The Spaniards are waiting for the final week of the window before making a formal proposal – ASM don’t intend to separate themselves from the teenager this month, but the club’s representatives are not completely closed off to a discussion, as under Robert Moreno it looks likely that Badiashile will not receive consequential playing time.

VCF are willing to offer up to €25m for the Frenchman this month, which is likely to fall short of the asking price of up to €50m that Badiashile was fetching already last summer.
