“Newcastle United’s New Owners Targeting Neymar Transfer: Reports”

Newcastle United’s new owners are looking to complete a statement transfer in the summer. As opposed to sources 90min have confirmed Neymar is a possible target for the Magpies.

You should have recognized the signs of the times at the latest when your own fans call for your farewells and demonstrate against you in front of your house.

With Neymar it is becoming increasingly clear that the Brazilian superstar is no longer wanted in Paris. The Ultras made that clear on Wednesday. The rumors that the club management wants to sell the 31-year-old have been going on for months.

But again and again the problem appeared that no seriously interested top club could be found for the 124-time international of the Selecao. Thomas Tuchel, then Chelsea coach, waved it off last summer. New owner Todd Boehly is said to have seen Neymar in the Blues jersey as attractive.

While Boehly lived out his spending spree differently, the market situation at Neymar has hardly changed a year later. At 31 and on a luxury contract, most clubs are likely to shy away from the investment it would take to sign Neymar. His injury susceptibility and the constant background noise off the pitch don’t make the Brazilian any more attractive.

After 90minHowever, a buyer could emerge for the coming summer. In the Premier League of course (where else?!). Sources have confirmed to us that Newcastle United’s new owners are considering Neymar.

The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) took over the Magpies, making them probably the richest club in the world. So far, a lot has been invested in the squad, but the really big deals and names haven’t been there yet. That could change with the likely move into the Champions League.

A superstar is supposed to be here in the summer – money only plays a minor role. Cristiano Ronaldo has also been traded. According to those responsible, Neymar fits much better. On the one hand, because there are already a number of Brazilians in the squad (keyword: feel-good factor). On the other hand, because coach Eddie Howe believes that Neymar fits into the tactical system.

The Magpies owners do not want to sign players with whom the sporting leadership and especially the coach do not agree. A new left winger is on the wish list anyway.

PSG will not put too many obstacles in the way of Neymar, who is tied until 2025 (who is said to have a unilateral option to extend it until 2026). However, the amount of the transfer fee and the salary would not fail in Newcastle anyway. In 2017, PSG signed Neymar for the world record sum of 222 million euros. sources have opposite 90min explains that PSG would ask for a transfer fee of around 85 million euros in the summer.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are also – at least loosely – linked to Neymar. 90min knows the player’s representatives are keeping all the big Premier League clubs up to date on developments at Neymar and his future. However, the interest of the clubs mentioned is not specific.

Despite all (justified) doubts, it should be noted once again: if Neymar is fit, he can still be an absolute difference player. Until his injury, his 2022/23 figures were impressive: 13 goals and 11 assists in 20 Ligue 1 games. Two goals and three assists in six Champions League appearances. At the World Cup in Qatar, he played just as many direct goals in just three games.
