Cryptic Neymar to Chelsea transfer hint dropped despite Frenkie de Jong Manchester United theory

Could Neymar to Chelsea really happen this summer? With Paris Saint-Germain open to selling their star player who struggled with consistent game time last season due to injuries and other issues which saw him fall down the pecking order, a few options could open up for him regarding a potential exit this summer.

The Blues have been name checked as one of the 30-year-old's options that could come up on the table this summer if PSG's No. 10 were to push hard for this exit. Others include the likes of Manchester United, Newcastle, Juventus and potentially Barcelona, if they can sort out their finances in time. Xavi is reportedly a huge fan of a player who made up part of the lethal Messi-Suarez-Neymar combination during his four year stint in Spain before his world record £200million move went through to the Ligue 1 Champions in 2017.
