Euro Paper Talk: Neymar set for Real move; Man Utd target linked with £80m move

Oli Fisher

Paris Saint-Germain are set to swoop for a pair of Serie A star including a Man Utd target, while Marseille are eyeing a Celtic star, according to Monday’s European papers.

 

PSG EYE HUGE DOUBLE SWOOP

French giants Paris Saint-Germain are looking at bringing two Serie A midfielders to Ligue 1, according to a report.

Le10 Sport claim that the league leaders want Roma’s Lorenzo Pellegrini and Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the summer transfer window.

Pellegrini has been hugely impressive for the capital club since establishing himself in the first team this season, and his current deal includes a release clause of just £21m.

Milinkovic-Savic meanwhile has recently been linked with an £80m move to both Manchester United and Liverpool.

Lazio chief Lotito though says the towering midfielder is not for sale.

“How much is he worth?” Lotito considered, speaking to Corriere dello Sport.

“I don’t care, he’s not for sale! He’s like me, he has the same character, spirit of sacrifice, and he has courage.

“When his father ‘convinced’ him to go to Fiorentina, he – who already had an agreement with us – arrived there and explained ‘I only want Lazio’. That says it all, for me.”
