Paul Pogba and Juventus agree to terminate contract
Paul Pogba and Juventus have mutually agreed to part ways as the French midfielder faces an 18-month ban from football.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have reportedly rejected a second offer from Barcelona for Brazilian star Neymar Jr, even as Juventus too, gear up to make a bid.
According to reports, PSG had rejected the initial bid for the Brazilian which was to pay a loan fee, cover Neymar’s salary and have an optional purchase clause for next season.

Meanwhile, Italian champions Juventus, who had signed Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, are also in the race for the PSG star.
Amidst this all, Neymar has sent Barcelona fans wild after he liked a post on Instagram which involves Lionel Messi. This made the Barca fans feel that Neymar has dropped a transfer hint.

Neymar is trying to force his way out of Paris Saint-Germain, two years after joining the Ligue 1 club for a world-record £200million fee.
The Brazilian wants to return to La Liga, with Real Madrid and Barcelona both interested in signing him before the 2 September deadline.
Talking about Messi, a foot problem ruled Messi out of the season-opening defeat against Athletic Bilbao. But the Argentine was captured making good progress as he was put through his paces with a series of drills on sand.
