TOP STORY: Chelsea prepare talks for PSG’s Neymar
Chelsea have approached Paris Saint-Germain regarding a possible move for winger Neymar, according to Le10Sport.
The 31-year-old endured another stellar season with the French champions, notching 18 goals and 17 assists in 29 appearances across all competitions, but injuries, alongside the club’s desire to offload several high-profile names this summer could see PSG part ways with the Brazil international.
PSG have identified Bernardo Silva as a priority signing, ahead of next season, with the potential departure of Neymar allowing for funds to secure the services of the Manchester City stand-out. The report suggests the club will seek a “good” price for Neymar’s transfer, who signed for the French outfit for a world-record fee of €222 million from Barcelona in the summer of 2017.
Chelsea suffered a disappointing 2022-23 season, in which the west London club could only manage a 12th placed finish in the Premier League, and it is said that new manager Mauricio Pochettino is eyeing up several high-profile names ahead of next season. Pochettino is no stranger to Neymar, having previously managed the winger during his stint as PSG manager during the 2021-22 season.
Since the arrival of Todd Boehly as the club’s owner last summer, Chelsea have spent close to £600 million on transfers, however with the likes of Mason Mount and Kai Havertz linked with moves from Stamford Bridge this summer, there could be room to sign Neymar.
