Despite the arrival of a Luis Enrique who is rather favorable to Neymar, PSG are still considering selling their Brazilian. Todd Boehly will follow the advice of Mauricio Pochettino and try everything to buy Neymar this summer.
Todd Boehly had promised to step down from the transfer window at Chelsea given his fiasco on his first attempt after taking over the club. The American owner should however quickly return to business, at the request of Mauricio Pochettino. The new coach of the Blues has a very big desire for this summer and he needs his boss to weigh all his weight on this possible tour de force. Indeed, Fichajes announces that the former PSG coach dreams of signing Neymar this summer. An eminently complex file, but which also has its supporters.
A billion euros invested for nothing in Chelsea
Indeed, the American owner has dreamed since his arrival of bringing in a headliner from European football. And in terms of marketing and media appeal, Neymar would take Chelsea to another dimension. The rather crazy bets to sign players like Enzo Fernandez, Wesley Fofana, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling or even Malo Gusto and Benoit Badiashile for 1 billion euros clearly did not bear fruit. So, you might as well break the ceiling with a record offer capable of cracking PSG and thus affording the Brazilian star.
But the hardest part will not be to convince PSG, which agrees to get rid of a player who has disappointed more than enchanted the Parc des Princes since signing in 2017. Even if the probable arrival of Luis Enrique could reshuffle the cards and allow number 10 to have a weighty support on the bench, the will of the Emir of Qatar is not to insist if ever an opportunity to sell Neymar arises.

On the Brazilian side, not much has changed. If we understand that PSG is tired of its disappointing seasons, its reinforced concrete contract always puts it in a position of strength. His intention is clearly not to join Saudi Arabia, which is trying to convince him to come. England would have a small chance, but not really Chelsea, who will not play in any European Cup next season. This fiasco in the Premier League is one of the reasons given by Neymar for not responding favorably to such a request. This can be understood, even if making Neymar the leader of a new project capable of putting Chelsea back on the front of the stage in England and Europe could motivate him.
But for the moment, the London club is coming up against a wall and risks paying a high price for its failed season with a lack of sporting arguments to convince Neymar to come. In any case, this file is closely followed by PSG, which has clearly put its number 10 on the transfer list this summer. A situation that Todd Boehly wants to take advantage of, since the Spanish media claims that the American owner of the Blues really wants to try his luck in this case, just to have no regrets and to have shown Mauricio Pochettino that he was able to follow him in his desires.
