Neymar favours PSG stay as Newcastle, Chelsea options emerge

A move away from PSG is unlikely for Neymar this summer.

L'Equipe says Neymar will remain at Parc des Princes for the foreseeable future - despite the club inviting interest from Europe's elite clubs with the forward being put on their transfer list in a bid to offload him.

His wages, however, make it difficult to find a potential buyer with Chelsea and Newcastle the only real clubs in a position to afford such a deal for Neymar.

Neymar's bumper contract and his desire to help end the Ligue 1 giants' long wait for a Champions League crown, mean he could see out the rest of his existing contract in the French capital.

The same report suggest that Neymar's relatives have also assured that he always intended to stay until 2027 - the date the contract he was offered in the summer of 2021 will expire.
