Neymar advised to move to Manchester City

Rivaldo reckons Neymar should move to Manchester City in the summer. The 30-year-old has been in sizzling form with PSG this season, but his future remains up in the air. Multiple reports have said that the Ligue 1 champions could offload the Brazilian at the end of the season.

peaking in a recent interview, as relayed by PSG Talk, Rivaldo said that Neymar would have a better chance of success at the Etihad.

“Honestly, I don’t think it will happen right away, but at the end of the season, PSG could be interested in selling the player to recover part of the investment at the same time that the Brazilian star could finally evolve into Premier League,” said Rivaldo.
He added:

“In this scenario, I think Manchester City would be the perfect club for him, as it would give him a better chance of success, and he would be playing in a very attacking side who are playing great football under their former manager Pep Guardiola.”
Neymar has registered 15 goals and 13 assists in 22 games across competitions for the Parisians this season.

Lionel Messi is now wanted by two Saudi clubs according to the latest report.

Lionel Messi is reportedly wanted by two clubs in Saudi Arabia – which would see him reignite his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo.

It’s claimed they are even willing to pay the World Cup winner a staggering £306MILLION-A-YEAR according to The Sun.

Ronaldo signed a £173m per year contract with Al-Nassr last month and became the highest-paid athlete ever, however, Messi may have aspirations to surpass this record.

Recently, it has been reported that Al-Hilal, a rival team of Al-Nassr, is willing to offer Messi a £245m per year contract to join them.

However, the most recent Marca report indicates that he may now receive a salary offer of up to £306 million annually. That amounts to a staggering £5.9m/week or £133m/year MORE than Ronaldo will make at Al-Nassr.

The report adds that Al-Hilal are interested in signing the Paris Saint-Germain forward, and Al-Ittihad have also entered the race to sign him.
