William Hill: Chelsea have renewed interest in Neymar and Paris want to get rid of him, but the players themselves don't want to go
Although the situation is very bleak now, if a player like Neymar really wants to transfer, he still has a lot of chasers in the market, because he is very unhappy in Paris now, and the team does not want to keep him, the Brazilian's transfer this summer seems inevitable.
According to the Mirror, Chelsea could revive interest in Paris striker Neymar after the end of the season.
The newspaper said that the chairman of the team will personally revise many of the previous strategies and practices, compared with the previous one, the club's operating strategy is undergoing a huge change, Messi is likely to leave the team after the contract expires in June. The previous negotiations between the two sides have been fruitless, and there is a high probability that there is no way to negotiate.
Neymar's future in Paris has also been seriously questioned as the club looks to focus more on young people and Chelsea are also interested in re-signing the South American player.
The Blues were first linked with Neymar last summer and Tuchel was keen to sign the Brazilian, who had been in charge in France for almost two years, however, the Ligue 1 giants opted not to sell. Perhaps by now, Paris must regret their bad decision last summer.
Chelsea were again considered interested in the former Barcelona striker in January and ready to act ahead of the transfer deadline, but they were told it was impossible to strike a deal with Neymar. In this way, Chelsea's two interests ended in vain. Chelsea boss Burley, who flew to Paris to meet Nasser during the Ligue 1 side's 1-0 Champions League win over Bayern Munich in February, discussed the possibility of bringing Neymar to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
After West London side spent £323 million on eight new players in the winter transfer window, compared to nearly £300m last summer, it is believed that there will be a summer purge that may be more important than buying, but that doesn't mean they will stop looking to bring in new talent and Neymar could be identified as a potential transfer target.
Since moving to France from Barcelona in 2017, Neymar has been plagued by injuries despite scoring 118 goals and providing 76 assists in 186 appearances in all competitions. In fact, he basically didn't finish a season, which is very disappointing.
The 31-year-old, valued at £62 million by Transfermarkt, was determined in February due to an ankle problem that he would not be able to play for the remainder of the 2022-2023 season, however, he still scored 18 goals and provided 17 assists and 29 games, which is quite good.
According to the Mirror, Chelsea could face competition from an unnamed Premier League club who are said to be interested in signing Neymar at the end of the season. And recently, this team was revealed to be Manchester United. But here Paris needs to be noted, in fact, Neymar himself never wanted to leave Paris, this needs to be clear.
It is believed that Paris will be aware of the possible consequences if both Messi and Neymar leave in the summer, as this requires the club to sign top players, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. However, there is news that the team has planned to be completely young.
The two sides now have contracts expiring in 2025 but can trigger a one-year extension on their own, representing Brazil at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but failing to help his country reach the final as they were eliminated 4-2 by Croatia in the quarter's penalty shootout.
