Manchester United is reportedly keeping an eye on Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar Jr. According to French news outlet Foot Mercato, United is said to be monitoring the Brazilian forward’s situation in Paris, as he has not yet agreed to extend his contract with the French club.

Neymar’s current contract with PSG expires in 2022, and the club has been in talks to extend it for some time. However, negotiations have reportedly been complicated, and no agreement has been reached yet.

The report states that if Neymar decides not to renew his contract with the Parisians, United could make a move for him in the summer transfer window. The Red Devils are said to be willing to offer him a significant contract, which could convince the Brazilian to make the move to Old Trafford.

It is important to note that Neymar has been linked with a return to his former club Barcelona, and the Spanish giants are believed to be keen to bring him back to Camp Nou. However, PSG has reportedly put a high price tag on the forward, and it remains to be seen if the Catalan giants will be able to afford him, considering their financial situation.

Manchester United consider signing Neymar

For United, signing a player of Neymar’s calibre would be a major coup, as they continue their quest to reclaim their spot at the top of English football. The Red Devils have been rebuilding under manager Erik ten Hag and have made some significant signings in recent years.

However, they are still some way off the pace set by Manchester City, who have dominated the Premier League in recent years. Neymar’s arrival could help United close the gap and challenge their rivals for the title.

Despite the potential benefits of signing Neymar, United will face fierce competition for his signature if he becomes available. Barcelona and Real Madrid have also been linked with the Brazilian, and it remains to be seen where he will end up in the summer transfer window.
