RUMORS
Neymar will stay
Football superstar Neymar will obviously stay with Paris Saint-Germain and not return to FC Barcelona. As the French sports paper "L'Equipe" and the Spanish media report, the management of the Brazilian have told both clubs that the 27-year-old wants to play the season at the club of the German coach Thomas Tuchel.
With that, the biggest farce of the transfer summer will probably find its temporary closing one day before the end of the transfer window. In addition to Barcelona, Real Madrid is also said to have been interested in a commitment. Neymar moved from Barcelona to Paris two years ago for a record payout of 222 million euros.
DISPOSALS
Jonathas leaves Hannover
Second division Hannover 96 has prematurely terminated its contract with striker Jonathas, which runs until 2020. "We evaluated the sporting situation together and came to the conclusion that the contract resolution is the best solution for all sides," sports director Jan Schlaudraff is quoted in a statement.
The Brazilian came to Rubin Kazan's 96 record-breaking transfer fee of around nine million euros in 2017. After Jonathas was loaned out to Corinthians Sao Paulo in the summer of 2018, the 30-year-old returned surprisingly late last winter break. After the Bundesliga relegation Jonathas came in four games only once.
