Just two weeks after rumors stated Casemiro was pressing Neymar to join Manchester United, Chelsea has just started negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain to capture him this summer.
At PSG, a lot of changes are now taking place. Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi have already made their exit announcements, and Christophe Galtier is also going to lose his job.
Neymar may be the next to go, according to Le10 Sport, and Chelsea is reportedly in negotiations with the French champions to finalize a deal.
Neymar is a target for Chelsea this summer.
Manchester United report: First signing of the season ‘fully agreed’
With Mauricio Pochettino leading the way, Chelsea is looking ahead after what was a terrible season that saw them finish 12th.
Next season, there won’t be any distractions from Europe for the Blues; there will often be just one game per week. They stand to gain greatly from that, and they intend to take significant action.
According to the source, Chelsea has recently been in touch with PSG to formally begin talks to sign Neymar this summer. The Brazilian has had a difficult season in Paris, and there is a very real possibility that he will leave.
The thought of selling their most expensive player is not something PSG is opposed to. They are paying attention to what Chelsea has in mind because they are prepared to let him go if a good offer comes in.
Neymar has the option to extend his current contract by an additional year, which would take effect in the summer of 2025.
He was persuaded to join Manchester United by Casemiro.
Newcastle United is one of the clubs interested in signing the Brazilian superstar, and Neymar’s future has been in the news for some time. At the beginning of last month, journalist Graeme Bailey said that he might be sold for £75 million.
Then, roughly two weeks ago, the French publication L’Equipe asserted that Manchester United is also interested in Neymar and that Erik ten Hag’s team is the “most advanced” in their pursuit of the Brazilian superstar.

The publication also asserted at the time that Casemiro was pressuring the PSG superstar to transfer to Old Trafford this summer out of desperation.
It will now be interesting to see where Neymar goes if he departs PSG in the upcoming months, especially with Chelsea in the mix.
