Paris Saint-Germain&nbsp;have been "disrespectful" in their pursuit of Lionel Messi, according to&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;presidential candidate Joan Laporta, who has threatened to report the&nbsp;Ligue 1&nbsp;champions to FIFA.

Jadon Sancho would be "Donny van de Beek two"&nbsp;if he signed for&nbsp;Manchester United, according to Dimitar Berbatov, who insists the Red Devils don't need the&nbsp;Borussia Dortmund&nbsp;star. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer identified Sancho as his primary target in the summer transfer window, but United ultimately failed to sign the winger after a drawn-out saga which saw Dortmund refuse to budge on their £100 million ($136m) asking price. United decided against paying such a large fee&nbsp;amid the financial uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and moved onto alternative targets at the start of the 2020-21 campaign.
