Chelsea suffer transfer blow in bid to land Neymar as PSG star’s future plans are revealed


NEYMAR wants to spend the rest of his career at Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.

Chelsea have shown an interest in signing the 31-year-old.

But according to The Athletic, Neymar has “no intention” of playing for anyone but PSG.

The forward joined the French champions from Barcelona, another club he has often been linked with, in 2017.

He has since played 173 times for PSG, scoring 117 goals and laying on 77 assists.

Prior to suffering a season-ending ankle injury against Lille, Neymar has been enjoying another productive season.

He netted 18 goals and set up a further 17 in 29 games this term.

Without their No10 at their disposal, PSG meekly exited the Champions League 3-0 on aggregate to Bayern Munich.

Much uncertainty surrounds the futures of Neymar’s fellow forwards Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.

Mbappe, 24, will enter the final year of his contract this summer.

While Messi, 35, could choose to leave at the end of the campaign, with Inter Miami having been linked.

PSG’s football director Luis Campos may have to revamp the club’s front line this season.

The Ligue 1 leaders are interested in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who Campos signed during his time at Lille in 2019.

While they also admire Manchester City star Bernardo Silva and his Portugal team-mate Goncalo Ramos.
