Paper Round: Neymar 'says goodbye to Barcelona' ahead of record £196m Paris Saint-Germain move

Neymar is on his way to Paris, Alexis Sanchez could join him from Arsenal, Nemanja Matic is set for Manchester United, and Virgil van DIjk is on strike.

Neymar says goodbye to Barcelona 
With Paris Saint-Germain ready to meet Barcelona's £196m release clause for Neymar, the 25-year-old Brazilian forward has decided that an after-tax weekly wage of almost £600,000 is enough to convince him to say his goodbyes - according to the Daily Mail. He has decided on a move away from Spain, and has told some of his colleagues of his intention to leave this summer in a world record transfer to join the biggest club in France, where he will be the focal point of the team.

Matic set for £50m United move 
Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic will finally be granted his desired move to Manchester United. The 28-year-old Serbian can move to Old Trafford to be reunited with his former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho after owner Roman Abramovich personally intervened to facilitate the transfer. Matic had been close to a Juventus move, but Abramovich will give Matic his preference - for a fee of £50m - because of his help winning two Premier Leagues in three seasons for the team. 

PSG to tempt Arsenal with Sanchez offer 
Paris Saint-Germain will test Arsenal's resolve to hold onto Alexis Sanchez with a £70m offer for their 28-year-old Chilean forward. Arsene Wenger has maintained that Sanchez is not for sale, and the club do not need the money. However, a move to PSG would allow Sanchez an early exit before his contract runs out, and would give Arsenal the advantage of not seeing him move to Premier League rivals Manchester City. 

Van Dijk attempting to force Liverpool move 
A move to Liverpool had seemed off the cards for Virgil van Dijk, but Southampton's 25-year-old Dutch central defender is training alone after he told boss Mauricio Pellegrino that he is not mentally ready to play for his current club. Southampton and Liverpool came to blows after accusations that Van Dijk had been tapped up, but this latest decision from Van Dijk could force Southampton's hand.
