PSG is reportedly open to letting the former Barcelona star depart this summer, particularly following recent protests by their ‘ultras’ outside Neymar’s house, demanding his departure.

It is worth noting that Lionel Messi is also likely to leave PSG at the end of the season, either joining a Saudi club or potentially returning to Barcelona.

The prospect of Neymar gracing the Premier League is truly mouth-watering, and it remains to be seen if Manchester United can outmaneuver their competitors to secure his services.

Manchester United’s Serious Interest in Neymar

According to reports from The Sun, several English clubs have expressed interest in signing Neymar, but Manchester United has emerged as the team with the most serious intentions.

Neymar has previously expressed admiration for Manchester United, as well as other Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal. It has long been a dream of his to play in the English top-flight.

Although there have been strong links between Neymar and Newcastle, manager Eddie Howe has dismissed those reports as inaccurate.

With all these factors in mind, a move to the Premier League appears increasingly likely for Neymar.

Regarded as one of the world’s best players, the 31-year-old has made 20 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, scoring 13 goals and providing 11 assists for PSG.

While the transfer fee demanded by PSG has not been disclosed, Neymar is unlikely to come cheap. Additionally, the Brazilian reportedly earns a staggering weekly wage of £957,000, including bonuses, which means he may need to accept a pay cut to secure a move to England.

Another consideration for any potential suitors is Neymar’s injury record. He has missed 15 games this season due to an ankle injury, which adds an element of risk that Erik ten Hag, Manchester United’s potential manager, must take into account before finalizing any deal.

Nevertheless, Sheikh Jassim’s determination to bring Neymar to Manchester United could see the Brazilian superstar donning the famous red jersey at Old Trafford.

Interestingly, Neymar might not be the only PSG player joining Manchester United next season, as the club also has its sights set on midfielder Marco Verratti.

As the coming months unfold, it will be intriguing to see if Manchester United submits a concrete offer to secure Neymar’s services and if the Brazilian maestro will make the much-anticipated move to the Premier League.
