In addition to Chelsea, at least one other Premier League club is apparently interested in signing Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain.
After another injury-plagued season in 2022–2023, the Brazilian attacker is having worries about his future at Parc des Princes.
He has made 29 appearances this season and has scored 18 goals, however he has been out with an ankle injury since February 19.
While the 31-year-old has not been at his best this season, Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is said to have asked about the South American’s potential availability during talks with PSG bosses earlier this year.
Neymar would fit the bill for the Blues when it comes to bringing in another marquee addition.
The Mirror is, however, claiming that Chelsea could face competition from domestic rivals in any scramble to secure Neymar’s signature.
Interest from England is said to be building, with there no doubting that a man with a record 77 international goals to his name remains a match-altering talent on his day.
Neymar is tied to a contract at PSG through to 2025, with there a further 12-month option in his deal that could be triggered.
But the Ligue 1 champions are considering a freshening up of their ranks and the summer of 2023 may present them with a final opportunity to demand a sizeable fee for an ageing playmaker.
