EPL: Chelsea in talks to sign Neymar from PSG

Chelsea have opened talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a possible deal for Neymar, according to Le10Sport.

Neymar could be on the verge of leaving the Ligue 1 champions, following Lionel Messi out of the door.

The Brazilian’s season ended early due to an ankle injury in February. By that time the forward had scored 18 goals and provided 17 assists in 29 appearances.

However, Neymar has largely failed to live up to expectations with PSG and has become the target of criticism from the club’s supporters.

Chelsea are the latest club to throw their hat in the ring by opening negotiations with PSG, after it was earlier reported that Manchester United and Newcastle were eager to bring him to England.

The Blues’ new boss, Mauricio Pochettino, is believed to be eyeing a reunion with Neymar, having previously managed him during the coach’s stint at PSG in the 2021-22 season.
