'He’d wait...' - Journalist now drops key Neymar to Newcastle claim after reports emerge

As per reports from Spain, the St. James’ Park faithful are one of three clubs who want to sign Neymar in the summer, along with both Manchester City and FC Barcelona.

PSG are reportedly open to letting him go, following their exit from the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid, and there are very few clubs who could handle the financial burden of such a move.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, journalist O’Rourke has revealed that Neymar would consider a move to the North East club, but only once the project ‘gets off the ground’:

“Neymar, it’s a bit of a pipe dream that one.

“I don’t think Newcastle will be looking to do that one, or that Neymar would be considering wanting to join Newcastle.

“He’d wait on the project to get off the ground really [before considering it].”

The fact that the Tyneside outfit are even being linked with a player like Neymar is exciting in itself.

Yes, it may take a few years before the long-term project starts to really kick in, but the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still performing well into their 30s, and there is no reason why the Brazilian superstar cannot do the same.

He has already had such a decorated career, and may now want to test himself in the Premier League, should the Champions League trophy ultimately desert him in France.

Nonetheless, even if not this summer, this is a deal that the ambitious new owners could one day have in the pipeline.
