Neymar to Manchester United?  Casemiro is likely to lure PSG's superstar to the Premier League

Manchester United are in talks with PSG over the transfer of superstar Neymar. that writes L’Equipe. Several Premier League clubs have approached the French champions’ club bosses about the 31-year-old, but negotiations are most advanced with the Red Devils.

ManUnited have been on the hunt for a striker ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left the club at the end of 2022. Neymar doesn’t necessarily fit the profile of a striker, but he is versatile on offense. While the English are looking for a loan, PSG would like to sell Neymar.

Neymar started his professional career at FC Santos and joined Barça in 2013 for €88m. After enjoying great success with the Catalans, he joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for a record fee of €222m.

The striker is currently recovering from a serious ankle injury. He has 18 goals and 17 assists in 29 appearances this season.
