Neymar transfer news: Neymar’s agent calls Chelsea as Brazilian explores move away from PSG – Follow LIVE Transfer updates
ESPN is reporting that Neymar’s agent has been in touch with Chelsea to gauge their interest in bringing in the 30-year-old, who scored 13 goals and added six assists in 22 Ligue 1 contests this past season.
While Neymar’s talent is not in question, his health may be, having missed over two months of this campaign after suffering an ankle injury, and that is coming off a 2020-21 season where he only played 18 league games due to ankle and adductor injuries.
NEYMAR WEIGHS UP CHELSEA MOVE AS PSG GIVE GREEN LIGHT
ESPN’s report mentions that Neymar’s agent, Pini Zahavi, believes there are only “two or three teams” that would be able to meet his wage demands, and it is thought that Chelsea are hoping to make a splash under the new ownership of Todd Boehly.
Spanish publication Sport claims Neymar activated a clause in his PSG contract as soon as he possibly could on July 1 to add one extra year to his deal – tying him to the French giants until 2027 – but that does not rule out a move happening.
Chelsea’s Brazilian centre-back and Neymar’s former PSG team-mate Thiago Silva has been vocal about his desire to recruit the superstar forward, but his salary of €43million could stand in the way if the Stamford Bridge club decide they would rather use this transfer period’s resources in defence.
