According to Mundo Deportivo, Neymar's future will be decided within the next 48 hours. Barca president Josep Bartomeu and PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi are set to meet in Liverpool to discuss the transfer of the Brazilian star.
It is known that both sides will try their best to reach an agreement. In the context, Neymar has publicly expressed his desire to leave the Parc des Princes, while PSG fans are holding banners demanding the 1992-born player be expelled.

Although it was only 2 years ago, PSG made Neymar the most expensive player in the world when they spent 206 million pounds to break Neymar's contract with Barca. That was also a milestone that changed the transfer market, causing player prices to skyrocket.
PSG are now demanding £206m if Barca want to bring Neymar back to the Nou Camp. The French club have previously rejected Barca's offer of £74m plus Philippe Coutinho for Neymar.
Goalkeeper Filip Nguyen plays brilliantly
Recently, in round 6 of the Czech Republic National Championship, Slovan Liberec suffered a 0-1 defeat against Slavia Praha. Notably, Vietnamese-American goalkeeper Filip Nguyen played very well, helping Slovan Liberec avoid many goals, despite being constantly attacked throughout the match.
Slavia Praha coach Jindrich Trpisovsky has given Filip a lot of praise. According to this coach, Filip could even go to England to play for Chelsea like his senior Petr Cech.

Meanwhile, Slovan Liberec coach Pavel Hoftych also praised his half-Vietnamese student: "Filip Nguyen had a great match against Slavia Praha. Unfortunately, we still lost."
It is known that Filip has recently completed the procedures to apply for Vietnamese citizenship. Although he received support from VFF, this has not been completed. Therefore, he cannot wear the Vietnamese national team shirt in the upcoming training session to prepare for the big match with Thailand in the 2019 World Cup qualifiers.
Martin Lo scores, U22 Vietnam defeats top Hong Kong team
Given two opportunities in the same match, striker Martin Lo shined with a goal, helping U22 Vietnam defeat Kitchee 2-0 in a friendly match at PVF Center (Hai Duong) on the evening of August 14.
Kitchee is considered the top team in Hong Kong, having won the championship twice in the last three seasons. However, in the friendly match at PVF, coach Balaz Sliskovic's players were not at their best, played poorly and accepted a 0-2 defeat to the home team.
Among the players called up by coach Park Hang-seo this time, Martin Lo continues to be the name that attracts attention because he is the only one called by the Korean coach in all 4 training sessions.

13 clubs want to own Liverpool's 'waste'
No longer valued by the Anfield team, striker Daniel Sturridge is still sought after by many clubs in this summer transfer window.
After the 2018/19 season, striker Daniel Sturridge is unemployed as Liverpool do not need his services. However, this is not a big problem for the former Chelsea player.
Telegraph, The Sun and Fourfourtwo believe that at least 13 clubs want the services of this striker and have sent offers to Sturridge. Because there are many options, this striker is still considering very carefully. The above mentioned clubs are from Europe, America and even in the Middle East.

Real Betis, Bologna và Marseille cũng được cho là muốn có sự phục vụ của Sturridge. DC United ở giải MLS của Mỹ cũng thể hiện sự quan tâm tới cựu tiền đạo tuyển Anh.
Sturridge, 30 tuổi, là một chân sút được đánh giá cao tại Anh.
Tuy nhiên, những chấn thương đã ảnh hưởng không nhỏ đến sự nghiệp của cầu thủ này. Anh chơi cho Liverpool trong 6 mùa giải nhưng chỉ ra sân hơn 100 trận, trung bình gần 20 trận mỗi mùa.
Sự nghiệp liên tiếp bị gián đoạn bởi chấn thương nhưng Sturridge lại sở hữu nhiều danh hiệu cao quý mà nhiều cầu thủ mơ ước, với 2 Champions League, 2 Premier League cùng một League Cup trong các màu áo Chelsea và Liverpool.
