– The 30-year-old joined the French giants in a world-record £198million transfer back in the summer of 2017 and is committed to the club until 2027 after penning a new deal just 12 months ago. However, speculation that the former Barcelona man could be on the move sooner rather than later has been rife in recent weeks.
– A new report from ESPN has now revealed that PSG are open to parting ways with Neymar this summer after securing the future of Kylian Mbappe. It is expected that Christophe Galtier will oversee a squad overhaul once he succeeds Mauricio Pochettino at the helm in Paris, with the new chief expected to place an emphasis on cultivating a strong team ethic in a bid to finally guide PSG to European success.
– After discovering PSG would be open to allowing him to move, Neymar is now ‘considering’ his future in Paris, and Chelsea have been sounded out over a potential move for the attacker. New Blues owner Todd Boehly is thought to be keen to make a blockbuster purchase this summer, and acquiring a player of Neymar’s ilk would fit the bill.
– Despite making contact with the Blues over a potential move to Stamford Bridge, it remains to be seen if Thomas Tuchel have any appetite to bring Neymar to the Premier League. The German has been given a much bigger say in the club’s transfer dealings after the departure of Marina Granovskaia and is keen to snap up Raphinha and Raheem Sterling to bolster his attacking options.
– Neymar’s agent, Pini Zahavi, is ‘working hard’ to try and identify other potential destinations for his star client, but Neymar’s lavish €43m (£37.3m) gross salary means that, realistically, only a handful of clubs in Europe would be able to afford a deal to take him on.
