Paris Saint-Germain Playmaker Neymar Discusses is Feud with Edinson Cavani

Neymar has rubbished reports of a falling out with Paris Saint-Germain team-mate, Edinson Cavani. The Brazilian was believed to have soured his relationship with the striker when he demanded he should be PSG’s penalty taker. The attacking pair were seen arguing during a victory over Lyon about who should take a penalty. Neymar lost that argument after he had pushed Cavani off a free-kick earlier in the game.

Fans were watching Neymar and Cavani closely on Wednesday night as they tried to spot any lingering anomisity between them in the Bayern Munich game. There were a few incidents that attracted attention including when Cavani wrapped an arm around Neymar after the attacker missed a sitter. Despite the talk, Neymar insisted there was no issue between him and Uruguayan. ‘They invent lots of stories, they talk too much,’ he said after the game.

‘They say things they do not know, try to get into our locker room and end up talking too much, things that do not exist. ‘But anyway, it’s OK.’ Both players scored last night in an impressive 3-0 victory over Bayern in Paris.

It is a massive statement of intent from PSG who are hopeful Neymar and his team-mates can fire them to European glory this season. PSG have never won the Champions League or reach the final, but are now top of their group after back-to-back wins.

Roma Midfielder Signs New Deal with Italian Club

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has signed a new four-year contract with the Serie A club. The 29-year-old Belgium international had been linked with Manchester United in Italian media, while Chelsea were also reported to be interested. This was coupled by suggestions that Nainggolan was growing impatient with the numerous delays in receiving a contract proposal from the capital club.

Alexis Sanchez is just what Manchester United Need, Says Fortmer Tottenham Manager

The signing of a proven world-class forward such as Alexis Sanchez is just what Manchester United need to compete for the biggest prizes, former Tottenham manager Gerry Francis has said. Sanchez, 29, joined United on a four-and-a-half-year contract from Arsenal on Monday, 22 January, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving in the opposite direction in a straight-swap deal. "Sanchez is a real goal-scorer, he's talented and he's aggressive around the box and he makes things happen, he can pull teams through," he told Sky Sports.Francis described the Chilean forward as a match-winner who will aid United in their quest to win silverware by adding some much-needed potency to their attack. "It's [about] the present, you're looking to win trophies and looking to win competitions and, sometimes, you need to buy and have the finished article and Sanchez is certainly that. "It just makes them as a squad that much stronger. Certainly, a much bigger goal-threat with Sa...

Tiemoue Bakayoko is a Better Player than Nathaniel Chalobah, Insists Antonio Conte

Antonio Conte has been forced to defend his Chelsea transfer policy after replacing homegrown youngster Nathaniel Chalobah with the £40million signing of Tiemoue Bakayoko. The Blues have long been criticised for favouring big-name and big-money transfers over promoting their own youth talent, and the purchase of Bakayoko whilst selling Chalobah looks to be the latest example. Chalobah, 22, played 15 games for Chelsea last season but struggled to hold down a regular place in the side before a £5m move to Watford this summer. Conte, however, insists that Bakayoko is a major upgrade given his experience of winning major honours and competing in the biggest competitions such as the Champions League. ‘I think, honestly, at this moment there is a great difference between the two players,’ Conte said. ‘You are talking about one player who has played with Monaco, who has maybe 100 appearances for that club. ‘He has played in the Champions League and has played regularly. ...
