Neymar urges Paris Saint-Germain to sign Philippe Coutinho… but would accept Alexis Sanchez

NEYMAR has reportedly urged Paris Saint-Germain to sign Philippe Coutinho – but would accept Alexis Sanchez instead.

say Brazilian frontman Neymar laid down some staggering requests ahead of his expected £195million arrival from Barcelona.

Neymar is even thought to be a big reason that fellow Brazilian Dani Alves - who he calls his "big brother" - chose PSG over Manchester City.

The French newspaper claim “Neymar dreams of playing with (Coutinho) in a PSG jersey” and say he is insisting that Brazilian winger Lucas Moura stays with PSG.

But it is believed Neymar accepted that luring Liverpool's Brazil playmaker Coutinho might be too difficult - because the likely asking price of £80m-plus could be beyond even PSG if they splash-out on the Barca superstar.

Neymar is then said to have approved PSG's hunt for what they see as the next-best option - Arsenal main man Sanchez.

Now, though, Chile hero Sanchez also seems unlikely to join the mega-spending Parisians.
