It would be the real bomb of the market. Nothing would be left of the 75 million (plus 25 in variables) from Darwin Núñez to Liverpool or the 60 from Manchester City for Haaland… Mbappé is not counted because he could for Real Madrid but ended up being a renewal for PSG.
If the rumors are true, it would be Neymar Jr and not a young promising goalkeeper who would be the real big news on the market in the Premier League.
At least that’s what the Daily Star newspaper says, which states that the Brazilian will not stay another year at PSG, obeying a clause in his contract, according to what L’Equipe said in recent days, but that he would take off.
“Chelsea are believed to be in pole position to make a surprising move for Neymar, with a host of other top European teams also fighting to sign him. Neymar endured a difficult campaign at Paris Saint-Germain last year, suffering an embarrassing exit from the Champions League against Real Madrid. Following that disappointment, the Brazilian was widely booed by his own fans,” the source said.
That would make him tempted to go to England, as the new sporting director, Luis Campos, would have him on the starting line, as part of a reorganization. That and the frustration of Neymar himself at seeing himself displaced by Mbappé and even by his friend Messi.
Although the possibility of Newcastle was also discussed weeks ago, the Brazilian did not like the idea and instead Chelsea, which could have the financial muscle to pay him and the team to propel him to titles, would seem more reasonable to him. Reality or just smoke? The market decides everything.
