PSG Opens New Offer For Cavani Just To Allow Neymar Take Penalties


The owner of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaifa, offers Edinson Cavani an improved contract in exchange for allowing Neymar to take penalties.

According to El País, Al-Khelaifa offered the Uruguayan forward one million euros if he finishes the season as the PSG’s leading goal-scorer in Ligue 1. That clause was not previously in his contract. Cavani, who has scored seven goals in seven league matches so far this season, rejected the offer.

The remarkable offer stems from an on-pitch spat between Cavani and Neymar, who joined the Parisian club for a world-record fee in the summer, during a 2-0 victory over Lyon. The pair bickered in the 79th minute over who would take a penalty. Cavani eventually took the spot-kick, and missed.

The two players had a similar argument several weeks earlier, when PSG beat Saint Etienne 3-0. On that occasion, Neymar asked Cavani to take a penalty, and the former-Napoli striker refused his request.

Manager Unai Emery publically closed the issue by stating that he will decide who takes penalties, yet the rift ostensibly runs deeper than the issue of who shoots from twelve yards.

Zidane hails ´best in the world´ Ronaldo after two-goal return

Zinedine Zidane reiterated the importance of Cristiano Ronaldo after the talismanic attacker alleviated Real Madrid’s goalscoring concerns with a trademark brace in Wednesday’s 3-0 defeat of APOEL. Still serving a five-match domestic ban for pushing the referee in last month’s Supercopa de Espana, Ronaldo showed few signs of rustiness by improving his Champions League tally to 107 goals. The reigning Ballon d’Or winner netted the opener inside 12 minutes and added a second from the penalty spot after half-time to kick-start his side’s bid for a third straight European title. Ronaldo’s return could hardly have come at a better time for Madrid after striker Karim Benzema was ruled out for at least a month with a thigh injury. “He [Ronaldo] is the best in the world,” Zidane told beIN Sports after the match. “He is always there when we need him and he always scores. If he was luckier today he could have scored four. “He is a key player for us [and] I hope he continues in t...
