Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are not driven by any kind of rivalry with one another, Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Thomas Meunier insists.

The world’s most expensive player and France’s World Cup-winning star were both on target as Thomas Tuchel’s men battled to a 3-1 win over Angers on Saturday.

There is intrigue over how Neymar might respond to teen sensation Mbappe challenging his star billing in the French capital but Belgium full-back Meunier maintains any notion of a rift between the two is a media creation.

“The rivalry? It’s just to sell [newspapers],” he said.

“They are two fantastic players. They have the little bit more that the others do not have.

“We can only be happy to have such players in the squad. Kylian remains Kylian, someone smiling, calm and professional.”

The Danish player has had interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona, but now it looks like PSG could make an offer.

If the French giants fail to secure Ivan Rakitic from Barcelona for £81million, they could switch their attention to Eriksen.

PSG are reportedly keen to make one more signing before the European transfer window closes on Thursday.

Talks over Eriksen’s contract have been ongoing, as the club are look to extend it past 2020.

Eriksen is hoping that the club will improve his contract to be at the same level as the club’s highest earner, Harry Kane.
