Newcastle backed for stunning Neymar transfer as Man Utd and Liverpool rule out bids

Newcastle have been brought into the mix to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar this summer.

The 30-year-old has been linked with a move away from the French capital despite penning a new four-year deal this time last year. Reports in France claim Neymar's situation has deteriorated as Kylian Mbappe has replaced him as the main man at PSG with Lionel Messi also above him in the pecking order.

This could see the Brazilian leave the club and Mbappe, who now has a huge say in off-field decisions and appointments within PSG's hierarchy, would have no qualms with his departure. Neymar could also pose a problem in new sporting director Luis Campos' plans as PSG begin to rebuild their squad.

According to L’Equipe , Newcastle would be likely to welcome Neymar to St James' Park. That being said, the Magpies are not necessarily an attractive prospect for the player despite the fact their Saudi owners could afford his mammoth wages.

Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid have also been linked with a move for Neymar, but the quartet are not said to be interested in him. There have been rumours suggesting the winger may return to Barcelona one day and president Joan Laporta has flirted with the possibility of that happening.

"Who doesn't love Neymar? He's exceptional player," he told Catalan outlet L'Esportiu. "But all these players to return to Barca one day should come for free. Players who have signed for clubs like PSG, have almost signed their slavery. For money."

While PSG are open to Neymar's exit, he is not looking to leave the club. He wants to stay in Paris and push for more trophies, including the Champions League, which they once again missed out on
