On May 25th, L’Equipe reported that ‘only Newcastle United’ are an option for Neymar this summer.
It was also stated the Ligue 1 winners will not be against the forward’s sale if there is an interesting offer.
A day later, we carried a report from ESPN Brasil, who explained that Newcastle are a ‘viable option’ for the 30-year-old.
The Brazil international featured 28 times last season, and ended the campaign with 13 goals and eight assists.
Brazilian journalist Rodrigo Oliveira appeared as a guest on Calciomercato.it’s CMIT TV, where he explained why the Magpies are the only option for the player.
“There will be problems between him and PSG. The player is not playing as expected and in Qatar, France, they don’t appreciate his behaviour, but the player earns a lot. I’m sure Neymar wants to leave the Parisians, but I don’t know who can pay him,” Oliveira said,
“There are two options: Neymar stays at PSG and tries to show off; the other chance is to go to a club like Newcastle, able to afford the figures that gravitate around Neymar.”
