Barcelona target set to extend PSG deal
The former Pescara man was linked to Barcelona this summer, even being photographed holding a copy of El Mundo Deportivo.

The Italian international is now set to remain with the Ligue 1 leaders until 2022.
The playmaker, who was suspended and couldn’t play in Milan as Italy were knocked out of the World Cup playoffs, is set to earn €12 million a year. It would all but double, since he was earning between €6 and €7.4 million.
The 25-year-old has scored twice and made three assists between Ligue 1 and Champions League action so far this season.
Many believe that PSG signing both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe for a combined €402m may have changed his mind, as his camp had made a number of references to his wanting to win silverware.
