Paper Talk: Man Utd to land Neymar in three-way swap plus £50m
Manchester United have been given fresh hope of a deal for Neymar – but only if they sacrifice two stars first, while there is mounting interest in Jurgen Klopp, according to Sunday’s newspapers.
MAN UTD DEMAND NEYMAR IF PSG SWOOP FOR DUO
Manchester United will demand Neymar in exchange if PSG try to sign Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, according to reports on Sunday.
The Daily Star on Sunday suggests PSG have already approached United over the potential of signing the duo this summer – and with it give United the chance to sign the Brazilian superstar as part of the deal.
It’s suggested United would still have to give PSG £50m in addition to the two players as part of the sensational swoop – and the report suggests all parties are keen on the deal, with Martial and Pogba’s future both under the spotlight at Old Trafford and Neymar failing to settle in Paris.
Neymar has long been linked with United despite having joined PSG in a world-record €222m deal last summer.
The Brazilian forward has scored 28 goals in 30 appearances for the Ligue 1 giants before being struck down by a fractured metatarsal injury that could have ended his season.
