Transfer roundup: Alvaro Morata may rule out Man United move; Neymar, PSG links resurface

Morata won't play behind Zlatan
Alvaro Morata will turn down a move to Manchester United if they complete the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic because he is not interested in playing second fiddle to the Swede, Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

The Spain international's performances for Juventus have caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe including Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid, and the striker can seemingly take his pick ahead of next season.
But any plans Jose Mourinho had to land the former Real Madrid man could now be off due to his interest in Ibrahimovic, for whom a deal is reportedly as good as done.

Neymar to PSG resurfaces
Paris Saint-Germain's search to replace Ibrahimovic could lead to them making a world record bid of £153 million for Barcelona forward Neymar, the Mail claims.
The Brazil international has a release clause in his Barca contract that PSG are considering activating as they look to find someone who can recreate or even improve on Ibrahimovic's effect after the striker led them to the Ligue 1 title in each of the last four seasons.
Neymar's agent Wagner Ribeiro has previously talked up interest from PSG and the prospect of his client living in the French capital, where he would link up with a number of international teammates including Thiago Silva and David Luiz.

Falcao to land with Boro?
Radamel Falcao could be set for a third stint in the Premier League with Middlesbrough, according to the Gazette, following unsuccessful loan spells with Manchester United and Chelsea over the last two seasons.
At Old Trafford, Falcao managed only four goals in 29 appearances while a return of one goal in 12 outings for Chelsea was even worse value. The 30-year-old Colombian is now back with parent club Monaco but is likely to be available on another short-term deal.
Boro owner Steve Gibson is looking to Falcao's agent Jorge Mendes to broker the move with Falcao reportedly keen for another crack at English football.
