In a wide-ranging interview with L’Equipe, Al-Khelaifi said: “He is a close friend, I have a lot of admiration and respect for him and everything he has done in football. He's a big man. 

"This is one of the first people I spoke to before buying the club, and he told me one thing that I never forgot: ‘You buy a diamond and it will be cut and shined’. I do not know what he will do, but he will have a lot offers. Today, the sports director (of PSG) is Antero Henrique and he will stay.”

MESSI CONTACTS GRIEZMANN

Lionel Messi has contacted Atletico Madridforward Antoine Griezmann to inform him that he is wanted at the Nou Camp, reportsAS.

Griezmann is Barca’s main transfer target ahead of next season, but Atletico have made various attempts to get him to stay at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The Spanish capital club have offered the France striker a new deal which includes a higher salary than the one he would earn at Barca, but it believed the player, who has doubts over his future, is still leaning towards joining the La Liga champions.

One of the main reasons behind his desire to move to the Camp Nou is because Messi has contacted him to tell him that Barca’s players are waiting for him with open arms in their dressing room.

BENITEZ OPEN TO TORRES REUNION

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez has refused to rule out the possibility of signing Fernando Torres this summer.

Torres left Atletico for Liverpool in 2007, where he played under Benitez, before returning to Madrid in 2015 and will leave his boyhood club for the second time at the end of the season.

"I think it will be harder for him to come for him, not because we don't want to," he told MARCA.

"I don't know what's going on in his head, but maybe he is thinking about something else.

"It would be appealing, but I don't think it would be easy."
