Representatives of Brazilian star Neymar are said to have opened talks with five Premier League clubs over a potential future move, according to 90min.
The report claims that there is plenty of interest from English clubs in the Paris Saint-Germain player with intermediaries having already spoken with Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle United to express his interest in a move to the Premier League.
The 31-year-oldis under contract with the Ligue 1 giants until the summer of 2025, and while they are in no rush to offload the former Barcelona player, they are open to the prospect of him leaving at the end of the current campaign.
A meeting between Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly and PSG’s Nasser Al-Khelaifi was said to have seen Neymar’s name come up for discussion, despite it not have been on the main agenda for the discussions between the pair.
PSG are once again under pressure to deliver success and face the uphill task in their Champions League round of sixteen clash against Bayern Munich, having gone 1-0 down in the first leg at the Parc des Princes.
The Sports View
With Neymar now in his 30’s, this summer could represent PSG’s best chance to command a sizeable transfer fee for the playmarker, who is said to earn a staggering £3.4million-per-month in France (talkSPORT).
Chelsea have already shown that they are not afriad to splash the cash under their new ownership, while Newcastle have been relatively calm in comparison. However, this could all change if the Magpies secure Champions League qualification this season.
