Real Madrid will return for PSG star Neymar next summer, according to Le10Sport. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Blancos, and the club has made contact with his father to explore a transfer in the summer of 2019. A deal is by no means a certainty, however, with Madrid still required to find an agreement with both Neymar and PSG. Zinedine Zidane is keen to get back into coaching – but what will be the Real Madrid legend’s next challenge? “I am definitely going to coach again soon,” he told Spanish television station RTVE. “It’s what I like doing and it’s what I’ve done my whole life.” Manchester United, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have all emerged for possibilities, while he may have to wait a while for a chance at the France job.
