Rumors are swirling over Chelsea’s possible move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Neymar. The 31-year-old Brazilian is one of world football’s most iconic figures, and it appears that the Blues may be keen to acquire his services this summer.
According to reports, Chelsea have approached PSG regarding a possible transfer and while no official deal has been officially agreed, the possibility remains open. Neymar has enjoyed another stellar season with the French champions, finishing with 18 goals and 17 assists in 29 appearances across all competitions, but injuries and PSG’s desire to offload several high-profile names means that the veteran forward could be sold this summer.
The potential departure of Neymar would also allow funds for PSG to secure Bernardo Silva from Manchester City – a priority signing for the club ahead of next season. There is no doubt that Neymar would be a huge asset for any team that is able to bring him in, given his exceptional record and technical quality on the ball. He would also bring added glamour and star power to whichever side he joins – something Chelsea could certainly use as they look to challenge the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.
Neymar has previously played in England before when he was at Barcelona between 2013 and 2017, so there shouldn’t be any fear about his ability to cope with life in London or the English top flight itself. Furthermore, it’s believed that Neymar himself would welcome a move back to England given his successful stint at Barca previously, which included helping them win two La Liga titles during his time with them.
For any self-respecting football fan around the globe though, an image of Neymar in a PSG jersey still resonates strong – having been one of their most important players over recent years despite being blighted by injuries recently – but it appears change may be looming on the horizon for him this summer if rumors are true. It will certainly be interesting to see where he ends up when all is said and done – especially if it ends up being at Chelsea!
