Chelsea are being kept in the loop over the future of Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar, according to reports.
Brazilian star Neymar, who’s now 31, is linked with a move away from Paris this summer.
90min claims that French giants PSG are open to selling Neymar, who’s scored 118 goals in 173 career appearances for them.
It is explained that the attacker’s agents are in contact with Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United to update them on developments about his future. Newcastle United are named as interested buyers, too.
The report adds that PSG could demand in excess of £75million for the player’s sale.
We heard from The Mirror last month that Chelsea could rekindle interest in Neymar after Blues co-owner Todd Boehly previously held talks about him.
The Brazilian forward does divide opinion at times, but 18 goals and 17 assists this season across all competitions illustrates the quality he’s got.
It’s interesting to note that Neymar has been coached at PSG in the past by Mauricio Pochettino, who’s the out-of-work manager strongly linked with taking charge at Chelsea next season. He actually scored 21 goals in 47 games when playing for Pochettino.
Chelsea fans are still waiting to hear confirmation that the 51-year-old Argentine coach will be in the manager’s dugout at Stamford Bridge next season.
Journalist Dean Jones recently told GiveMeSport that Pochettino could be announced as the new Chelsea boss this week.
Do we really need a player with a big ego walking into the Chelsea dressing room next season?
It would be fantastic to see Neymar flexing his muscles in the Premier League because he’s unplayable on his day.
We have some reservations about his character, though.
Plus, what is someone like Mykhailo Mudryk going to think if Neymar arrives to challenge him for a spot on the left wing?
