Man Utd monitoring Neymar as potential transfer target from PSG under Sheikh Jassim’s ownership

Reports from France suggest that Manchester United is monitoring Neymar’s situation. The Brazilian superstar has had another season plagued by ankle injuries, but he still managed to score 18 goals in 29 games. Neymar’s inconsistency has led to speculation about his future, with Chelsea being linked to the forward. However, Footmercato claims that United is ready to join the hunt for the former £198million star. The club made inquiries about the attacker at the start of the season but decided against a concrete approach. If Qatari investors take over at United this summer, Neymar could be seen as a marquee signing to signal their intentions. Neymar’s contract runs out in 2025, and he does have the option to extend it to 2027. PSG wants to part with the player sooner rather than later, despite the player wanting to stay. Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani, a member of the Gulf state’s ruling royal family, is a front-runner in the race to take over at Old Trafford. The Glazers hold out for a £6billion fee, and Al Thani’s bid is reportedly worth £5bn, but he is promising to wipe the club’s debt and fund upgrades for both Old Trafford and Carrington. The Glazers are set to sanction a third round of bidding after refusing to accept any offer so far. Interested parties have until the end of the month to submit revised offers.
