Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has reportedly expressed interest in joining a select handful of Premier League clubs if he leaves the Ligue 1 champions this summer. The Brazilian has been targeted by some PSG fans, who have protested outside his house, and the club has underperformed in Ligue 1 this season, while also failing to win the Champions League. Neymar’s teammate Lionel Messi is also expected to leave the club this summer.
Neymar has previously stated that he is happy in Paris, but according to Le Parisien, he has changed his mind and is now looking to leave this summer. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are among the clubs that have been linked with Neymar in the past, and he has named these four clubs as teams that he admires and would be interested in playing for in the future.
Neymar is a highly talented player, with 18 goals and 17 assists in 29 appearances for PSG this season. Although his world record transfer fee of £200 million remains the current record, it is unlikely that a transfer out of Paris would cost near that figure, given that he is now 31 and has just two years left on his contract.
A move to any of the four Premier League clubs mentioned would undoubtedly improve each team, and the prospect of playing in the Champions League would be a lure for Neymar. However, it remains to be seen which, if any, of these clubs will make a move for the Brazilian, and his potential exit from PSG is likely to be one of the transfer sagas of the upcoming summer transfer window.
