Argentina striker includes £59m option to buy• Real Madrid’s Keylor Navas joins PSGParis Saint-Germain have agreed a deal to sign Mauro Icardi on a season-long loan from Internazionale, with the French champions also snapping up the goalkeeper Keylor Navas from
Real Madrid as Neymar’s hopes of sealing a return to
