According to Football Direct News, Paris Saint Germain could make a move for Yaya Touré this summer if they fail in a bid to sign Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba. The 21-year-old, who has established himself as one of Europe's most exciting talents this season, is believed to be Laurent Blanc's number one target, however, with the Italian giants unlikely to sell, Manchester City's Ivorian powerhouse is believed to be seen as their next best option.
Touré opened the door to a potential move to France in January when he publicly lauded the French champions in an interview with ESPN. However since then, the midfielder has made no further comments on where he future may lie.
The Messi rumours have made an inevitable return, but Barcelona's worrying decline in recent weeks have made the whispers a percentile louder. The Manchester Evening News report that Manchester City are preparing an extraordinary £250m bid for the Argentinian wizard who has reportedly become disillusioned with life at the Catalan club. Barcelona have endured a month to forget after crashing out of the Champions League and watching their bitter rivals Real Madrid lift the Copa del Rey, and not even the brilliance of Lionel Messi has been able to resurrect his side.
