Agents working on behalf of Neymar have offered the Paris Saint-Germain star to Liverpool and Newcastle United. The Brazil forward is interested in a transfer to the Premier League.
That is according to 90min, which reports PSG are open to selling Neymar at the end of the season. The 31-year-old is under contract at the Parc des Princes until June 2025. But their recent slump in form has seen chiefs at the Ligue 1 powerhouse consider parting company.
Neymar is enjoying a superb season so far with 17 goals and 16 assists over his 28 games in all competitions. So, Paris Saint-Germain are in no rush to agree on deals for the winger’s departure. But his agents are now in touch with Premier League teams to explore interest.
Representatives for the 124-cap Brazil icon have informed Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle that moving to the Premier League would interest Neymar. His agents also told each club that PSG may consider cashing in over the summer.
Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has even discussed Neymar with Paris Saint-Germain chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi. The pair met to debate Hakim Ziyech’s failed transfer to the French side in January. But the conversations also moved on to Neymar with Boehly open to a transfer.
Paris Saint-Germain ace Neymar’s transfer offered to Liverpool and Newcastle
Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to consider Neymar’s transfer amid his agent touting the forward to Liverpool, Newcastle et al with yet another failed Champions League campaign on the cards. Les Parisiens lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Round of 16 tie.
Neymar registered two of his goals and three assists during the group stage before setting records at the World Cup. The forward, who cost PSG £200m to sign from Barcelona back in 2017, equalled Pele as Brazil’s all-time record goalscorer with his 77th international hit.
The forward’s performances in Qatar also led Danny Murphy to assert Neymar as one of the best of his generation. But his domestic successes having not won a Champions League title at PSG leave question marks over the 2014/15 champion with Barcelona’s full legacy.
“It depends how you interpret greats,” Murphy told talkSPORT. “I mean, yes, he’s a special talent, really special. Has he fulfilled his potential? At Barcelona, for a while, he was because he was winning everything and he was contributing to that.
“He’s a super talent, somebody I really enjoy watching… In my lifetime, he’s been one of the greats. He could be for two or three games on a level and just look unplayable. Then for two or three games, he drops. He disappears for a bit [and] he doesn’t quite fancy it.”
