Man Utd leads race in Neymar transfer

It is reported that PSG’s willingness to listen to offers for Neymar especially one’s from clubs like Man Utd as the club aims to reduce their wage bill, which has been inflated by the high salaries of their star players.

Additionally, Manchester United is not the only club interested in signing Neymar, as there have been rumors of a potential return to Barcelona or a move to Real Madrid.

However, if Sheikh Jassim’s takeover bid for Manchester United is successful, it is expected that the club will have significant financial resources to make a competitive offer for Neymar’s signature.

Man Utd’s chances of signing Neymar have received a huge boost

And it has emerged that PSG are planning for life without both the Brazilian and Lionel Messi.

Messi has been suspended for two weeks after defying club chiefs’ wishes and flying for a promotional tour to Saudi Arabia.

That was seen as a blatant move to alienate the club and fans, after his initial love affair in Paris has degenerated to more of a marriage of convenience.

PSG bosses have been working on a future blueprint over the past few months, which it is envisaged will mean a wholesale change in policy.

One club source explained: “From now on, the plan for PSG is simple – young, French and team players.

“It’s obvious to anyone who that applies to and who it doesn’t.”

PSG’s previous masterplan was to use the attacking trident of Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to conquer Europe and win the Champions League for the first time.

But the Ligue 1 champions have fallen short with last 16 exits – at the hands of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich – for two straight seasons.

Messi, out of contract at the end of this campaign, will not be offered a new deal – although his hopes of a return to Barcelona depend on the catalan giants reaching a financial agreement with La Liga bosses.

And while PSG will not boot Neymar out of the door, it is understood that they will be willing to listen to serious offers if they come this summer.

That is the opportunity for United to pounce if they think Neymar is the jigsaw piece that can take them back into the title equation and a genuine Champions League run.

Neymar, who moved to Ligue 1 in a £198m deal from Barcelona in 2017, has two years left on his current PSG contract.

But it is understood the South American, on a staggering £490,000 per WEEK, would be keen on a move to the Prem.

Mbappe’s future has been clouded in uncertainty over the past 18 months, with Real Madrid desperate to land him.

But while his attitude to team-mates has seen heads being shaken at times, he is 24, the emblem of France and also a player who will give everything to win on the pitch.

A departure of the two South American stars would also leave Mbappe unchallenged as the “King of Paris” and the stand-out star in Ligue 1.

Neymar’s girlfriend announces pregnancy

In more positive news, Sports Brief reported on Neymar becoming a father again after his girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi’s recent pregnancy announcement.

The model tagged the 31-year-old Paris Saint-Germain superstar in a post on social media(Instagram), where she announced the positive news to her 3.8 million followers.

The couple shared a series of snaps highlighting Biancardi’s visibly growing baby bump, and in one of the photos, Neymar holds his girlfriend’s belly with a smile.

The news was reported by Sports Brief and announced by Biancardi herself on social media.

The post included a series of pictures, including some highlighting Biancardi’s visibly growing baby bump. The post was coupled with a passionate message to the unborn child of how she has a beautiful family awaiting his/her coming into this world.

Neymar has been in a relationship with Biancardi for some time, and the news of their upcoming child has been well-received by his fans and followers on social media. This will be Neymar’s third child, as he is already a father to a son, Davi Lucca, whom he had with his former partner Carolina Dantas, and a daughter, whose mother’s identity is not publicly known.
