According to reports from British media, Newcastle United is in hot pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain’s Brazilian superstar, Neymar, who could potentially leave the French club in the upcoming summer transfer window.
This news comes after recent protests by PSG fans due to poor performances, with some even taking their frustrations to Neymar’s home.
It is believed that the English club, owned by Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, one of the richest owners in world football, could be an attractive destination for the talented player. Newcastle United is currently in a series of four games without a win, and they are hoping that the addition of Neymar could be the boost they need to secure better results in the future.
Neymar, who is currently under contract with PSG until June 2025, has a market value estimated by Transfermarkt at 70 million euros. The Brazilian forward joined PSG from Barcelona in 2017 for a world-record fee of 222 million euros. With 118 goals and 77 assists in 173 matches played for PSG, Neymar has been one of the most successful and prominent players in European football.
Will Newcastle United succeed in bringing in one of the world’s best players? The football world awaits the outcome of this exciting transfer saga.
