Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's Daily Transfer Roundup. We have some exciting bits of news to bring to you today. So without wasting any more time, let's take a look at the top transfer news, rumours and updates that made headlines on 1 July 2019.
Neymar goes on strike to force move to Barcelona
Neymar wants a return to the Camp Nou and he wants it now. There is no 2 ways about it. The then much talked about move to Paris Saint-Germain has not worked out like Neymar had expected and wants to head back and perhaps take shelter in Messi's shadow for a little while longer.
With speculation rife and the whole world preparing themselves for the Brazilian's return to Barcelona, latest reports claim that Neymar has threatened Paris Saint-Germain to go on strike and not report for pre-season duty.'
He has told PSG that he wants to leave this summer and that he wants to join Barcelona. The Ligue 1 Champions are not interested in standing in his way either. They're reportedly ready to let him go and have lowered their asking price to less than €200 million. This sum could be further reduced if Barcelona include a couple of their players in the deal.
PSG players are set to reunite on July 8th and prepare for their pre-season tour in China. However, Neymar has told the club that he won't be attending the same. PSG, meanwhile, are resigned to losing him and do not want the situation to escalate as they negotiate with the Catalan giants.
Neymar is currently in Brazil where he is hoping to be relieved of a rape allegation levelled against him. He is also recovering from an ankle injury. But he posted a video where he was sprinting and the recovery seems to be going well.
Neymar has, however, refused to comment on his future out of respect for his teammates as they take part in the Copa America.
Ben Yedder agrees personal terms with Manchester United
Manchester United fans wouldn't have forgotten Ben Yedder- the Sevilla striker, whose impressive brace knocked them out of the UEFA Champions League in the 2017-18 season. Now, as per the latest reports, the Red Devils have agreed terms with the 28-year-old ahead of a potential switch to Old Trafford.
Manchester United are lining up replacements for Romelu Lukaku as he becomes increasingly linked with a move to Inter Milan. The Red Devils would ideally want for the big Belgian to stay put and compete for a starting spot with Rashford. However, they are ready to let him leave should a good offer be tabled.
The Sevilla frontman has been on fire and scored 30 goals from 54 appearances last season and has been on the radar of top clubs like PSG and Barcelona. He is now keen on joining Manchester United irrespective of what happens with Romelu Lukaku, as per the report.
Ben Yedder's release clause stands at £35 million and therefore, he will be a bargain if United choose to go ahead and trigger it.
Real Madrid bid for Van de Beek
The youngsters of Ajax impressed one and all with their sensational performances in the UEFA Champions League last term. Several of their top players have been on the radars of some big clubs and the futures of the likes of Frenkie De Jong and Matthijs De Ligt were the focus of tabloids all over Europe.
Now, the latest addition to that list is the 22-year-old Dutch international Donny van de Beek. Real Madrid have now tabled an offer for van de Beek as they make sure alternatives are in place should Paul Pogba not sign for them this summer.
Pogba and Eriksen remain on top of Real Madrid's list. Zizou wants Pogba while the Real Madrid top brass are more tilted towards Tottenham Hotspur's Christian Eriksen. Donny van de Beek reportedly has 8 offers on the table from top European clubs and is not entirely sold on a move to Real Madrid as he does not believe he will be a guaranteed starter at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Derby give Lampard permission to talk with Chelsea
Chelsea are desperate to appoint a manager before the players depart for the pre-season tour. The Blues want Stamford Bridge legend Frank Lampard to take over at the helm after Maurizio Sarri set sails for Juventus after a difficult year in London.
Derby had given Chelsea permission to make an approach to their manager and have now told Lampard that he can enter into negotiations. According to the report, Chelsea are ready to pay £4 million as Frank Lampard's compensation clause as per the terms on his contract with Derby.
Lampard has in fact been excused from training on Monday and Tuesday to sit down and get the discussions over with and resolve his future. Meanwhile, the Championship side will need to amp up their efforts to sign a new manager as they find themselves in a difficult predicament caused by no fault of their own.
LaLiga president Javier Tebas does not want Neymar to return
Javier Tebas, the LaLiga president, did not mince his words whilst talking about Neymar's potential return to Barcelona. The Brazilian's departure in the summer of 2017 proved to be problematic and his off-the-field conduct at PSG was nothing to write home about either.
Tebas told Onda Cero (radio station),
"I prefer that Neymar does not return to Barca,"
"We always want to bring great players, but in the case of Neymar that behaviour is not good for the competition because in the end the news is if the player has done this or that.
"We have worked a lot in La Liga to maintain the values and we don't want to change the image."
