And he’s available for £89m (€100m) dueto a release clause in his contract, a relatively modest figure for a player of his ability in today’s market. The latest reports from Spain suggest Griezmann was going to Join United At the end of the season, just as had been expected to happen last year.

Pogba was recently dropped by Jose Mourinho with his form slightly waning, and The Sun wrote that Real are monitoring his situation closely. Reports state that after missing out on their man in 2016, Real are ready to submit an ‘audacious bid’ at the end of the season in order to bring him to Spain.

Paris Saint-Germain made Neymar the most expensive footballer of all time last summer because they believed he could inspire them to glory in Europe. The French club’s owners are desperate to win the Champions League for the first time, but their £200 million signing flattered to deceive in their biggest match of the season on Wednesday night. Neymar was unable to prevent PSG slumping to a 3-1 defeat against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring either side of half-time and Marcelo adding a late third for the hosts. PSG now face an uphill battle to seal their place in the quarter-finals. In order to stand any chance of reaching the last eight, Neymar will need to be on top of his game. In all honesty, the Brazilian is fortunate that he’ll be allowed to participate in the second leg. Already on a yellow card from the first half, Neymar avoided another booking in the second half for a blatant dive. Referee Gianluca Rocchi gave him the benefit of the doubt, much t...

Nigeria and Arsenal forward, Alex Iwobi, is looking forward to Super Eagles repeating the sensational defeat of South America power-house, Argentina, when both countries meet in their group stage game of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Last November in Krasnodar, Russia, the three-time African champions pulled a stunning 4-2 defeat of Argentina in an international friendly. Iwobi, 21, who scored a brace in that game, similarly got the winning goal that qualified Nigeria for the World Cup against Zambia in Uyo last October.
