Paris FC vs Paris Saint Germain

PSG's Ligue 1 opener against Rennes has been moved to Roazhon Park after extreme summer heat left the Parc des Princes pitch unsafe to play on. The bigger story is that PSG couldn't find a single alternative venue in Paris, forcing the LFP to step in days before kickoff.

Barcelona rejected a PSG bid of around €40m for Ferran Torres just a day before granting the World Cup winner permission to skip training as a deal above £40m nears completion. The move doubles as a financial win for Barcelona and a forward-line reshuffle for PSG amid Bradley Barcola's links to Liverpool.
