Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel has declared Lionel Messi is "very welcome" to join the club should the Barcelona star decide to pursue a move away from Camp Nou. The Argentine legend has once again been linked with a possible Barca exit after seeing his side end the season without a trophy and lose 8-2 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Former&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;left-back Patrice Evra has revealed how angry he was about the manner in which his exit from the club to&nbsp;Juventus&nbsp;was handled. The ex-France&nbsp;international turned out for the Old Trafford club between 2006 and 2014, playing 379 matches for them over the course of his stay. He has explained how he felt his loyalty to the side was ignored by chief executive Ed Woodward, who did his best to block the defender from moving to&nbsp;Serie A&nbsp;by triggering an automatic one-year extension in his contract after the player had indicated his desire to move to Turin on a Bosman deal. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/i-felt-betrayed-by-ed-evra-reveals-fury-at-woodward-over-man-utd-/184egqvx1s6891tizcnx9jgw4v" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>
