Rumours: PSG eye Mane as Neymar replacement, Napoli agree Gattuso deal

Neymar appears to covet a Barcelona reunion, after leaving the La Liga champions two years ago.

Sadio Mane

Bengaluru, December 10: With Neymar's future far from certain, Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly planning for life without the star forward.

Neymar appears to covet a Barcelona reunion, after leaving the La Liga champions two years ago.

Should Neymar's wish be granted, an African sensation lighting up Anfield is said to be on the agenda.

Accoring to reports in French media outlets France Football and Mundo Deportivo, PSG want Liverpool star Sadio Mane to replace Neymar.

Neymar wanted to leave Paris during the previous transfer window, but a proposed return to Barcelona did not materialise.

Doubts remain over Neymar - who left Barcelona for PSG in a €222million transfer in 2017 - and the French powerhouse are said to have identified Mane should the Brazilian depart the capital.
