Seems like R7 wants to leave. If Mourinho wants him so bad, swap him for Tammy Abraham.

Neymar is on astronomical wages (more than what Ronaldo is on), with United trying to start a rebuild, no way the club will try to go for him, even if he is available for a low fee.

It's a non story and probably Stone/Ducker/Whitwell will rubbish these report soon.

Exactly this.
Not to mention the 150Mn + PSG would want for him. Absolute non story.

He's not going to a Serie A club in the Europa league. It'll be whichever top club in the CL wants him, Portugal or he's cashing in in a relaxed environment (USA?), which can't possibly be at Roma. If he leaves that is.

At a time Neymar was probably the 3rd best player in the world. But that time has been and gone and like alot of Brazilian attacking players once they hit 30 they start to drop off at an alarming rate. The partying catches up with them it happened to Ronaldinho and he was by far a better player then Neymar. No thanks to this transfer we need players to move us forward as a club not backwards

Even with Ronaldo staying, I'd take Neymar in a heart beat. Ajax are asking for stupid money for Antony.
Kinda agree, although it depends on the deal. How much would PSG want? And how much would Neymar want? It's not like PSG or Neymar have that many options, so we'd have some leverage.

A lot of good points against signing him, but he's still a potent force.

Every price quoted to United seems to start at €80m
Certainly feels that way.

I remember someone posting when the offer for Haller from Dortmund first broke saying that Ajax aren't going to want to lose so many first team players. I think we're starting to see that with this inflated price for Antony.
Clubs think we are desperate and to be honest, we are.
Clubs won't quote City that sort of price cause they know City would walk away immediately.
M4YON's right. After the Haller sale, Ajax aren't going to want to sell any more of their players for reasonable deals as that'd weaken their squad too much. They'll only let them go for big fees.

On the Neymar article, Tanzi made 0 links to any of the outgoing clubs. The only info that he revealed is that Neymar and PSG both are reconsidering the player's future. He then suggested clubs that can afford Neymar should he leave, but he didn't report their interest anywhere in the article.

Can't spell Mkhitaryan

  • Having originally held out for £73.2m, Barcelona instantly rejected an opening offer of around £56m from United for Frenkie de Jong at the start of last week but negotiations appear to have hit upon a compromise price of £69m
  • Sources at both ends of the deal claim that talks are progressing well for Frenkie de Jong and although United have yet to start discussing personal terms - those discussions are not expected to be problematic.
  • United hope that they may have the deal for Frenkie de Jong finalised as early as the end of this week

If Ronaldo were to leave and if United were considering Neymar as a replacement it would, once again, illustrate how drastically United have lost their way since SAF.

Shame it isn't Ducker reporting this.
Why?

If it was a report that the deal had fallen through you’d have believed it and started throwing the club under the bus. But positive news…:we got to question it’s validity first!

In a way, I can see where they're coming from. Maybe Ducker received some info from the club that he wasn't necessarily comfortable reporting, but the Telegraph may have wanted this reported regardless, which could be why Whittell authored the article. When the article refers to sources supplying some info, then it's unlikely that this is extra speculative.

Because the claim would hold much more strength in validity, not that I don't think it's true. That would have been the same even if it was negative news.

I find if a media outlet isn’t listing a name of journalist and they give some vague collective term, it means they’re not that confident that what they proport will happen, will actually happen. Classic examples are like ‘Sky Sports sources’ or ‘Guardian news desk’.

What does he mean with the last part? That there have been no discussions, or that FDJ still doesn’t fancy a move?
There haven't been any developments over the player's terms throughout these negotiations, and that hasn't changed even after United are close to agreeing a deal with Barcelona. Romano's not the only one reporting this, by the way; Whittell reported the same thing in his report.

Trying to stay relevant during a saga he probably knows very little of.
So so true. Note how he's piped up just after a few big outlets have gone big on the story.

He's such a fraud and yet everyone thinks he's this inside info transfer guru.

Chasing after Neymar when we still need a DM and new fullbacks would really demonstrate that absolutely nothing has changed. The Glazers think they're running a franchise, not a football club.

Don't worry, that is just a hypothesis and nothing more. No one's reported us chasing Neymar.

Can you please just mute the name Romano? FFS.

Just always banging on with comments about him.
