RMC Sport reports that Chelsea has engaged in discussions regarding a prospective transfer for Paris Saint-Germain’s forward, Neymar, during the current summer transfer window. This move aligns with Mauricio Pochettino’s intentions to bolster the team’s offensive capabilities.
Neymar has communicated his wish to depart from the Ligue 1 champions this summer. Meanwhile, PSG is open to the prospect of selling the South American superstar, provided a suitable offer materializes.
The Premier League appears to be a potential destination. The French source indicates Neymar’s representatives have engaged in prolonged discussions with Chelsea regarding a prospective transfer to Stamford Bridge.
PSG’s stance has shifted, and they are now prepared to sell Neymar. His market value stands at £52 million according to Transfermarkt. Chelsea possesses the financial means to finalize a potential transaction. Yet the decision to actualize their interest during this summer remains uncertain.
What does the future of Neymar holds?
Nonetheless, Neymar’s recent years have a series of injury setbacks. In the previous season, he encountered an ankle injury in February, which resulted in his absence for the remainder of the campaign.
Neymar’s inclination is towards a return to his former club Barcelona. However, as outlined by RMC Sport, it appears that he does not factor into Xavi’s plans for the upcoming season, making his desired reunion with Barcelona quite improbable. While a Brazilian club has expressed interest in securing his services, Neymar’s preference is to stay within the European circuit.
The dynamics surrounding Neymar’s situation at the club might undergo rapid changes in the upcoming weeks. The unfolding scenario will reveal whether Chelsea decides to formalize their interest through an official bid.
