TRANSFER LATEST
Less than a month after shaking the football world with his move to PSG, Lionel Messi is being tipped for a Barcelona return.
And that's barely a week following his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo's shock move back to Manchester United from Juventus!
Former Barca and Argentina midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme, now Boca Juniors vice-president Riquelme, believes it's now or never for PSG to win Europe's top prize, thanks to 34-year-old Messi's arrival.
Riquelme said: "We are all excited to see him enjoy playing with Mbappe and Neymar.
"If they don't win the Champions League now, they won't win it anymore.
"I think Messi will win the Champions League with PSG and retire in Barcelona."
Meanwhile, it's claimed Jules Kounde’s January move to Chelsea was blocked by Sevilla.
The Spaniards refused to budge from the France defender's £68million release clause after rejecting the Blues' £42.8m bid.
Tottenham director Fabio Paratici rates new midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, 18, “one of the most talented in Europe”.
Spurs having won the £13million race for the Metz prospect, Paratici said: “I think we made a great signing. In all of Europe they speak about this.
"He needs experience, he needs to play games, to stay in one team and play regularly – a great investment, a great vision for the future.”
Finally, Bayern Munich legend Franck Ribery, 38, is close to joining Serie A newcomers Salernitana following his summer release from Fiorentina.
