Paulo DYBALA linked with PSG move, depends on NEYMAR to Barcelona

15

Paulo DYBALA is still being linked with a move away from Juventus with PSG being the primary candidates in signing him.

It’s been the talk of the summer for both Paulo DYBALA and NEYMAR. It is no secret that the club from Turin is looking to offload Paulo DYBALA with him being at one point close to joining Manchester United. However, that deal fell through and DYBALA remains a Juventus player. For now.

Per several reports in Italy and France, PSG are looking to sign the Argentine but that would depend on NEYMAR’s potential move to FC Barcelona. Per the reports, should NEYMAR sign with the Catalan club, that would open the door for PSG to sign DYBALA from Juventus.

Mauro ICARDI in Inter limbo as Juventus, Napoli, Monaco are interested

14

Mauro ICARDI’s future with Inter appears to be up in the air as both sides cannot reach an agreement.

ICARDI’s future at the club took a huge turn after being stripped from the captaincy and being left out of matches and squads last season. ICARDI’s wife, who happens to be his agent, has stated that he has turned down a lot of money and a lot of offers from different clubs in order to stay with Inter.

However, the club executives don’t feel the same way. Speaking with DAZN, Inter director Giuseppe MAROTTA had this to say:

“For us it is a bit of annoyance, both for the timing and for the way [she spoke]. I absolutely deny that any Inter manager, and in particular [chairman] Steven Zhang, has invited Icardi to stay. We have dictated a precise strategy and communicated it at the right time. We will go on until the end and nobody from Inter can distort this common line.”

AS are reporting that Juventus, Napoli and Monaco are interested in signing the Argentine.

Cristian PAVON scored his debut goal in MLS for the LA Galaxy in their 3-3 draw against LA FC.

It was a match to remember for the former Boca Juniors man. He assisted Zlatan IBRAHIMOVIC after just 1:46 seconds on the clock following a lovely little run and scored a goal which had given the LA Galaxy a 3-1 lead.

PAVON ran in between two defenders before passing the ball to IBRAHIMOVIC to open the scoring. On his goal, PAVON received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, cut inside and his shot beat the goalkeeper for his first goal in MLS.
