Today’s fluff is together in eclectic dreams
While the Rumour Mill spent much of last night dreaming it was on a road trip to Inverness with Ad-Rock from Beastie Boys in a vintage Caterham 360R SV sports car made entirely of mashed potatoes and Cathedral City mature cheddar cheese, it seems Neymar has less lofty ambitions preying on his mind when his head hits the pillow. According to L’Équipe, the Brazil striker has told Paris Saint-Germain he wants to leave the French capital and “dreams” of a return to Barcelona. Reports elsewhere say his “people” are in talks with their flustered counterparts in Chelsea’s recruitment department over a move to Stamford Bridge, where the arrivals and departures halls have been busier than Heathrow’s Terminal 5 this summer.
Manchester United remain open to selling Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay to West Ham and are currently mulling over the Europa Conference League champions’ £60m bid for the duo. Should they offload Maguire, United will try to bring in the tough-tackling 23-year-old Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo as his replacement. United are also open to offers for their Brazilian midfielder Fred, who has a number of admirers including the Turkish champions, Galatasaray. Any proceeds raised will be pooled with whatever loose change they can get for Donny van de Beek and put towards the cost of prising Sofyan Amrabat away from Fiorentina. The Chelsea target Tyler Adams and the Everton midfielder Amadou Onana are being considered as alternatives should United fail in their quest to sign the Moroccan international.
