Wanting to leave PSG is not new for Neymar. Before every new season, there are discussions about the possible destination of the Brazilian forward—what's new about it! Even two seasons ago, there were loud rumors of him returning to Barcelona after leaving PSG.

However, he hasn't returned to his old address yet. Now, it is being heard that he can join the English Premier League in the upcoming summer. Initially, there were rumors of him going to Arsenal, but instead, the 31-year-old star can join Manchester United.

The French League One season is nearing its end. Only the 38th round remains. PSG has already secured the 11th league title. However, Neymar was not present with his fellow stars Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe for the celebration of the trophy. What will he do! The Brazilian superstar remains outside the field for a long time due to an old injury. Perhaps he can be present when PSG unveils the trophy at Parc des Princes.

But the relationship with the French giants is not the same as before for Neymar. There is a somewhat cool relationship between both parties. The two-year contract with PSG is coming to an end for him. If his friend Messi leaves, Neymar may also have a chance to leave Paris. In that case, there is the possibility of Neymar's name being associated with Newcastle United in the Champions League in the upcoming season.

Recently, several European media outlets have reported that Neymar does not want to stay at PSG. He believes that a six-year relationship with the club is enough. In 2017, he joined PSG for a world-record fee of €222 million, leaving Barcelona. However, he had to deal with injuries while in Paris. Of course, PSG does not want Neymar to leave their project right now. They want to reach an agreement with the Brazilian star until 2025.

There are 'ifs' and 'buts' regarding Neymar's move to United. There is a possibility of him leaving Tottenham in the upcoming season and joining Old Trafford. United also wants to get an English captain. If Kane goes to Old Trafford, they may not negotiate with Neymar. Initially, there were rumors of his move to Arsenal. However, the noise of that rumor hasn't spread much. Even the name of Newcastle United, who will play in the Champions League in the upcoming season, is a possible destination for Neymar.

However, last week, Manchester United's coach Erik ten Hag denied the possibility of Neymar's potential transfer. In this case, the Dutch coach's experience of dealing with "big and famous players" plays a role. In his first season at Old Trafford, he will clash with Cristiano Ronaldo. However, if the Glazer family sells United, then there is a chance for Neymar to go to Manchester. Because there is a good relationship between PSG and the ownership of Qatar, led by Hamad Al Thani.

French sports media outlet L'Équipe recently reported that there are negotiations between Neymar and Manchester United regarding a contract. According to their claims, the Brazilian superstar has rejected a lucrative offer from a Saudi Arabian club, which remains undisclosed. Even Manchester City, United's city rivals and former Barcelona star's previous club, has expressed interest in acquiring him, as reported by L'Équipe.

Neymar's 2022-23 season was cut short due to an ankle injury suffered in March. Currently, he is in the process of recovery. On the night of confirming PSG's Ligue 1 triumph, he was spotted attending the Grand Prix in Monaco and received praise for doing so. Last summer, Neymar had expressed his desire to stay at PSG, stating, "I want to stay at this club. The club hasn't told me anything, so I don't know their plans."

Having previously played in Spanish and French football, Neymar is now seeking a taste of English football. However, he has yet to play in the Premier League. Of course, should the Brazilian star be susceptible to injuries, there will be significant risks involved when joining the Premier League. The physical demands of English football are substantial.
