Marcos Cafu and Neymar are among the Brazil heroes congratulating Milan star Lucas Paquetá on his debut Seleçao goal.

The 21-year-old was the only real bright spark in Saturday’s 1-1 friendly draw with Panama.

He scored his first goal for the senior Brazil side on his full debut, wearing the iconic Number 10 jersey.

“Congratulations on the goal! May it be the first of many, champion!” wrote injured Neymar on Instagram.

Now retired Brazil and Milan hero Cafu was also impressed by Paquetá.

Gianluigi Buffon reveals how he motivates Paris Saint-Germain teammates Marco Verratti, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. “It depends on mentality.”

The Italy international spoke to RMC in France about his experience in Paris, including advice to much younger companions.

“In my view, if Kylian decides in his mind to become the Number One for the next 10 years, he can do that, but it depends on his mind.

Edinson Cavani remains the main Napoli target in attack, especially after clashing with Neymar, but Lazio’s Ciro Immobile is another option.

President Aurelio De Laurentiis has never disguised his intentions to bring Cavani back to the Stadio San Paolo, declaring publicly that the Paris Saint-Germain star would have to lower his salary.

Carlo Ancelotti believes Paris Saint-Germain “can win the Champions League this term,” but Napoli can end those ambitions early.

It kicks off on Tuesday at 20.00 GMT and follows on from the thrilling 2-2 draw at Parc des Princes, where PSG fought back twice to scrape a point.

“It’s an important game and can be decisive for both teams,” Ancelotti told Telefoot.

Napoli return to Champions League football next week and they face the daunting trip to Paris to play PSG in the first of back-to-back games against the French giants.

Fiorentina winger Marko Pjaca, on loan from Juventus, has publicly denied saying he is “on the same level as Neymar and Eden Hazard.”

The Croatia international was quoted in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport magazine Sportweek.

“I am aiming to become one of the best in the world in my role. At the moment, the best are Neymar and Hazard, but I can be up there with them, as long as I avoid further injuries.”

Inter are ready to revive their approach for Real Madrid midfielder and Ballon d’Or favourite Luka Modric, claims the Corriere dello Sport.

According to the Italian newspaper, the Croatia international is still not happy at the Bernabeu and remains open to an exit.

The Nerazzurri’s attempts to poach Modric over the summer infuriated Real Madrid, who tried reporting Inter to FIFA and repeatedly criticised them in the media.

Fiorentina winger Marko Pjaca insists he can “be up there with Neymar and Eden Hazard” if he puts the injury nightmares behind him.

The Croatia international moved from Dinamo Zagreb to Juventus for €23m in the summer of 2016, but barely featured due to serious knee injuries.

After a loan spell at Schalke 04, he joined Fiorentina on a €2m loan with €20m option to buy, although Juve retain a counter-option.

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly moved ahead of Milan in the queue for Flamengo starlet Lucas Paqueta.

According to Globo Esporte, PSG superstar Neymar has personally requested the signing of Paqueta.

Furthermore, the Brazilian would have asked for his countryman to be brought in as early as January.

It comes after Milan had reportedly instructed Ricky Kaka to scout the 21-year-old, who has been likened to former Chelsea ace Oscar.

Gianluigi Buffon’s agent claims Paris Saint-Germain’s deal for the goalkeeper was ‘as important as that for Neymar’.

Buffon was widely expected to retire after he left Juventus at the end of last season, but the 40-year-old has since committed to two seasons with PSG, winning the Trophee des Champions - his first silverware in France - at the weekend.

“Starting well is always a good thing in football. Anything can happen, but PSG are a great club for him,” Silvano Martina told RMC Sport.
