Manchester City joins Chelsea in pursuit of Neymar from PSG

• PSG is reportedly willing to let Neymar Jr leave the club at the end of the current campaign
• The Brazilian is however still contracted with the France giants until 2025
• Chelsea, Man City, Man United and Liverpool are amongst the Premier League clubs interested in signing the forward

The Premier League is becoming more appealing to Neymar, and teams like Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool have been informed of his prospective availability.

With a trade not ruled out, Neymar’s management has approached several of England’s best clubs after the 31-year-old star reportedly came up in a recent meeting between Chelsea owner Todd Boehly and Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

With 10 assists, Neymar is tied for first in Ligue 1 and has 12 goals in 19 games.

The Brazil’s joint-all-time leading scorer is looking for a fresh challenge as he enters his sixth season in France after moving there for a record-breaking €222 million. He is also on the verge of another disappointing Champions League exit.

Neymar’s “intermediaries are reported to have spoken with Chelsea, Liverpool, City, United, and Newcastle United,” according to sources, notifying the teams of his intention to relocate to the Premier League.

According to the report, Paris Saint-Germain is willing to facilitate a transaction rather than being in a hurry to let Neymar go.

It is reported that Chelsea owner Boehly is “intrigued” by the prospect of such a high-profile addition, but it is unclear whether anyone else would be willing to fulfil what is anticipated to be an extremely hefty contract demand.

Transfer Round-up

Mason Mount, who still has one season left on his current Chelsea contract and is unwilling to sign the kind of long-term contracts Chelsea have been handing out, is reportedly being actively watched by Liverpool, City, and United.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a 22-year-old winger for Napoli, is sought after by Newcastle, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and City, but the Serie A leaders have no interest in selling and are in the midst of offering the Georgian a lucrative new contract, per 90 minutes.

Gianluca Prestianni, a 17-year-old Velez prospect who is the third-youngest debutant in the history of Argentina’s premier division behind Diego Maradona and Sergio Aguero, is being watched by Real Madrid, Barcelona, City, and Chelsea, according to Tuttosport.

Bayern Munich, according to Calciomercato, will keep pursuing Tottenham Hotspur and England forward Harry Kane, but they are unwilling to pay their asking price of £100 million (€112 million).

Arsenal sent scouts to see Vitor Roque, a 17-year-old forward for Athletico Paranaense who is supposedly worth more than £50 million, according to CaughtOffside.
