The Brazilian pair left Catalonia two years ago for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/ligue-1\/paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>. And now both are being linked with returns to the Spanish Champions. Neymar&#8217;s future remains unclear after going AWOL from training and expressing a desire to leave Paris. Alves, on the other hand, has just seen out his contract with the French side, now a free agent.<\/p>\n<p>Alves claims Barcelona to be &#8216;his home&#8217; and wants to return eventually. He believes Neymar&#8217;s return would pave the way for his own, as the pair are close friends.<\/p>\n<h3>Niko Kovacs Confident of Landing Leroy San\u00e9<\/h3>\n<p>According to Daniel Murphy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/man-city-transfers-bayern-sane-16659911\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester Evening News<\/a>, Bayern Munich manager, Niko Kovacs, is &#8216;confident&#8217; of signing <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/2b114be3\/Leroy-Sane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leroy San\u00e9<\/a>. The German winger is a long-term target of the Bavarian side and is one of the stories of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Bayern want to rejuvenate their squad, after a disappointing <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/champions-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Champion&#8217;s League<\/a> campaign, and a near-miss in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/bundesliga\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bundesliga<\/a>. Having seen <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/f61c7c4e\/Franck-Ribery?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Franck Rib\u00e9ry<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/09586899\/Arjen-Robben?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arjen Robben<\/a> leave, they are desperate for reinforcements on the wings. However, Pep Guardiola would like to see San\u00e9 stay, putting a huge \u00a390 million price tag on his head.<\/p>\n<h3>Blaise Matuidi Wants United Move<\/h3>\n<p>Rhys Daly of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1158933\/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Blaise-Matuidi-Ole-Gunnar-Solskjaer-Juventus-Paul-Pogba-latest\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Express<\/a> writes that <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c0cddebe\/Blaise-Matuidi?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blaise Matuidi<\/a> is pining for a move to Manchester United this summer. The arrivals of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ef619b0b\/Aaron-Ramsey?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Ramsey<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8794e251\/Adrien-Rabiot?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adrien Rabiot<\/a> have pushed Matuidi further down the pecking order at Juventus. As such, he is willing to leave the club in order to find more first-team opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>United, too, are interested in new midfield options and are admirers of the French midfielder. Any move to United, though, could hinge on the departure of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/867239d3\/Paul-Pogba?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paul Pogba<\/a>, who remains linked with a move to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/la-liga\/real-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid<\/a> or Juventus. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could turn to Matuidi if Pogba&#8217;s much-touted move finally comes to fruition. He could also be a cheaper option than another of United&#8217;s transfer targets&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Sergej Milinkovic-Savic Transfer Rumours<\/h3>\n<p>According to Jake Lambourne of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/sport\/football\/9603204\/man-utd-milinkovic-savic-verbal-agreement-lazio\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Sun<\/a>, Manchester United have a &#8216;verbal agreement&#8217; with <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4e6dbac4\/Sergej-Milinkovic-Savic?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sergej Milinkovic-Savic<\/a>. United have held talks with the Serbian&#8217;s agent and are willing to offer him a five-year contract at Old Trafford. Though like Matuidi, this move is reliant on Pogba departing the club, given the large financial cost it would take.<\/p>\n<p>Milinkovic-Savic reportedly told teammates he would be leaving this summer. He struggled last season with Lazio, scoring seven goals as they finished eighth in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/serie-a\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Serie A<\/a>. A move is what he desires, to fulfil his wish of playing in the Champion&#8217;s League, as he sees United as more likely to qualify in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"zqpJW5o7S7V6-4ZkW47Bnw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1155499745\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'zqpJW5o7S7V6-4ZkW47Bnw',sig:'rVmS-fI8d4ILKzC91z1Ife4qpqs3eDUejAhWGbNVsCE=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1155499745',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Word on Football&#8217;s Football Transfer News brings you the latest transfer rumours from world football.
