Although Zinedine Zidane recently commented that managing PSG is not his objective right now, Ramon Fuentes claims in 'Mundo Deportivo' that contacts with the club existed. What's more, he claims that, in order to say "yes" to the club, he made one request: he wanted Neymar out.

The talk at the Parc des Princes is all about nothing else. Who will be the new coach is the question on everyone's lips.

Zidane was mentioned as a candidate, but he made it clear that his priority is to coach France right now. However, he did not close the door on PSG. "Never say never...", he said when asked if he would sit on the bench one day.

Ramon Fuentes claims that the former Real Madrid coach has negotiated with PSG, despite the fact that Al-Khelaifi, the club's owner, has denied it. What's more, the journalist writes in 'Mundo Deportivo' that Zidane even asked the club to find a way out of Neymar if they wanted to keep him at the helm.

In recent days, according to the same source, rumours have been growing about Neymar's possible departure from PSG. And all of this would be due to this request from Zinedine Zidane.

Emir Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani is the one who is fighting for Zidane to be Pochettino's replacement. Ramon Fuentes claims that PSG's initial offer to the former 'Merengue' coach was raised from 25 to 33 million euros at the club's owner's request.

In any case, according to this source, Galtier's arrival is imminent. Although there have been contacts between the parties, it seems that they did not come to fruition.

Meanwhile, the clubs interested in Neymar are growing in number. According to the British press, Chelsea would be the best positioned to sign him, although 'L'Equipe' points out that he will renew until 2027 and his salary will automatically drop.
