Neymar's Pep talk
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola called Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar to enquire about his intentions with his future in doubt ahead of the summer transfer window.
The star forward's season was curtailed by injury and he has frustrated the club with some of his behaviour, such as attending the Monaco Grand Prix while his team-mates celebrated winning Ligue 1.
Guardiola is keen to know exactly what the Brazil international is thinking ahead of the transfer window and called up for a chat, according to L'Equipe.
The report, though, adds that the 31-year-old is unlikely to move to the Etihad, despite the Spanish tactician's interest in his wellbeing.
On the Prow-l
Southampton are hoping to land up to £40million for James Ward-Prowse this summer despite their relegation to the Championship, reports SunSport's Jack Rosser.
Saints see Ward-Prowse as one of their few chances to receive a big fee during the summer transfer window as they look to fund a rebuild.
Despite dropping to the Championship, the midfielder still has three years left on his deal and will be in demand this summer, leading to Southampton's optimistic valuation.
West Ham have long tracked the England international and are keen to add Fulham's Joao Palhinha alongside him as they look to replace Declan Rice, a target for Arsenal and Manchester United.
No talks have been held between the 28-year-old and interested clubs at this stage as he is planning some time away following his final Southampton game against Liverpool on Sunday.

Chelsea are pressing ahead in the chase for Sporting Lisbon star Manuel Ugarte, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Ugarte, 22, has had agent Jorge Mendes negotiating on the midfielder's behalf.
But Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the Uruguay international.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have pulled out of the transfer race.
Brighton pair on the move
Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has cast doubt on the future of Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo.
Mac Allister was in tears at Aston Villa after what could be his last match for the Seagulls amid his links with a move to Liverpool.
De Zerbi said: “I think it can be the last game of Alexis and Caicedo. I’m really sorry, because they are two great great players…
“I think it can be the last game for Alexis and Moises Caicedo.

“He’s just gone missing the last year or two, had one or two injuries, the fact he can’t get in a bad Chelsea team.
“I wouldn’t be hanging my hat too much on him in terms of improving United and closing the gap, I think he’s a good player but would he improve United? I’m not so sure.”
