Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Barca's Neymar offer rejected by PSG

Paris Saint-Germain are ready to reject a loan-to-buy offer by Barcelona for star forward Neymar, reports <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/paris-saint-germain/story/3924985/sources-psg-to-reject-barcas-neymar-loan-offer" target="_blank">ESPN</a>. While PSG are ready to let Neymar leave, they want at least the&nbsp;€222 million (£203m/$246m) they paid to bring him to Paris&nbsp;recouped. Even if Barca agreed to pay that amount next year, after a loan, PSG do not believe the Liga champions would make the payment in a lump sum, which is another sticking point for the French club.&nbsp;

James Maddison's creative talents could take Liverpool to the next level, according to Jamie Carragher. The playmaker created 100 chances last season, the most in the Premier League, and set up Wilfred Ndidi's equaliser at Chelsea in Sunday 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. Carragher thinks Maddison is the man the Reds should look to sign. “I think he is the one player outside of the top six who Liverpool should be looking at," he said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football. “People have been talking about Coutinho coming back, but obviously that hasn’t happened as he’s gone to Bayern Munich, but if your looking in the Premier League, yes he will cost a lot of money, but he should be the one Liverpool are looking at if you’re going to that next step up.”
