PSG to make huge loss as Neymar price tag is named after being placed on transfer list
Neymar looks to be on his way out of Paris Saint Germain as reports emerge that the newly-crowned French champions have put the Brazilian superstar on the transfer list.PSG are planning a major overhaul of their squad following yet another disappointing season in Europe, and despite being the club's poster-boy ever since his world record £198 million arrival from Barcelona in 2017, Neymar is likely to be one of the first names on the chopping block this summer.The club have reportedly slapped a £76million price tag on the 30-year-old's head - which would see them making a £122m loss on the player.There's little indication that Neymar wants to leave Paris - especially as his contract still has three years to run - and given that team-mate Kylian Mbappe looks destined for pastures new this summer it's unlikely that both would be allowed to leave during the same window.But according to reports in France, PSG are planning a 'revolution' over the next year or two which could see the face of the club change from top to bottom.Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte is being eyed as a potential replacement for Mauricio Pochettino - whose one-and-half year spell with the French giants has been underwhelming - while sporting director Leonardo's future also remains up in the air.Has Neymar been a disappointment at PSG? Let us know what you think in the comments section belowNeymar has won four Ligue 1 titles with PSG, bagging 98 goals in the process, but his - and indeed the club's - shortcomings in the Champions League will ultimately stain an otherwise fruitful five-year stint in the French capital should he leave at the end of the season.Supporters turned on the Brazilian after they were dumped out of Europe by Real Madrid last

Roman Abramovich almost signed Lionel Messi after 'Chelsea FaceTime call left him wooed'
Chelsea and their owner Roman Abramovich, with the Russian's sanctions preventing the Blues from currently being able to sign new players.However, back in 2014, Abramovich almost made the biggest signing of all, as Lionel Messi was on the brink of trading Barcelona for Chelsea.Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both made moves this summer, although for the Argentine it was his first transfer since turning pro, but both are very much coming to the end of their careers.However, when Chelsea were close to signing Messi he was in his prime, and it was almost a FaceTime call that sealed the deal for the former Barcelona star, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.After an astonishing 41 goals across all competitions in the 2013/14 season, Messi grew frustrated with the Spanish authorities as he was caught in a tax fraud probe, and the Argentine was tempted by a new life in London under Jose Mourinho, according to Di Marzio.After speaking with former Barcelona team-mate Deco, who also had played at Chelsea, a meeting was scheduled between Messi and Mourinho, but via a rather unconventional FaceTime call.But the call reportedly worked at the time, as Messi went to tell his camp afterwards: "With Mourinho, for how he's spoken to me, I can win whatever I want: he's a winner, go ahead and close the deal."HAVE YOUR SAY: Should Lionel Messi stay at Paris Saint Germain next summer? Comment below.Obviously a move never materialised and Chelsea ended up signing Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona instead, and according to Fabrizio Romano, after careful consideration Messi decided to continue his life in Spain.Romano said: "Everything collapsed because Barcelona was something special for Lionel Messi.

Newcastle 'preparing £50m bid' for French winger who's netted 15 times in 31 games
Newcastle United are planning a mega-money move for Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby, who has been on fire in the Bundesliga this season.The 22-year-old, who came through the ranks at Paris Saint Germain, has scored 15 times in 31 games so far this season and has helped propel Leverkusen into an unlikely push for Champions League qualification.Newcastle are preparing an offer of around £50 million, but the German club reportedly want the fee to be closer to the £75 million mark - which is what Chelsea paid them for Kai Havertz in 2020.But considering they allowed Leon Bailey to move to Aston Villa for just £28 million last summer, there's hope in the Newcastle camp that they can keep agree a fairly reasonable price with the Germans.The two clubs already have a positive working relationship after the Magpies agreed a deal for Leverkusen's Mitchel Bakker in January, only to change their minds and sign Matt Targett on loan instead.Toon boss Eddie Howe will be keen to add some much-needed firepower to his front-line and Diaby would give their attack an extra dimension, and likely take some of the pressure off Allan Saint-Maximin's shoulders too.The French winger has spent just under three seasons in Germany and has been improving noticeably year on year.The pacey trickster has added goals to his game and has grown into one of the Bundesliga's most well-rounded attackers.Can Newcastle United finish in the top four next season? Let us know what you reckon in the comments section below...Only five players, including Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland, have scored more goals in the German top flight than Diaby this season, and only three have more assists.Newcastle meanwhile have been surging up the Premier League table

Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele booed by his own fans for every touch in Napoli draw
Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele was booed by his own fans every time he touched the ball against Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday.The Frenchman's torrid spell at the Nou Camp - which has been plagued by injuries and mishaps - appears to have reached its nadir with supporters furious with the 24-year-old for recently rejecting a contract extension.He was greeted by a cacophony of jeers as he came off the bench to make his first appearance for the club in 2022, during what was Barcelona's first Europa League match since 2004, and the bitter home crowd refused to let up all night.Dembele entered the fray with 25 minutes remaining, shortly after Ferran Torres had cancelled out Piotr Zielinski's opener for the visitors, though perhaps unsurprisingly he failed to make any significant impact on the game.Dembele's contract expires in the summer, meaning he'll be able to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.Desperate to avoid that, Barcelona chiefs have been trying to tie the former Dortmund man down to a new deal all season and even insisted the player would be sold in January if he failed to agree an extension by then - but no such move materialised.Would you like to see Ousmane Dembele in the Premier League? Let us know which club you think he'd be most suited to in the comments section...He was linked to Chelsea, which would have seen him reunited with former manager Thomas Tuchel, as well as to Paris Saint Germain, but Dembele opted to stay put and see out the remainder of his £210,000-a-week contract in Catalonia.Barcelona paid a whopping £130 million to bring Dembele to the club in 2017 following an impressive breakthrough season in the Bundesliga, though he's spent just as much time on the
