Following reports that Neymar is close to joining Chelsea, Neymar’s father has given an update on his future. According to him, the club’s offer to keep him has been accepted, but there is still a possibility that he will move elsewhere. Chelsea have already rejected Ronaldo’s move to Stamford Bridge, but Liverpool have been linked with a move for the PSG star.

Neymar’s father gives update on his future
It’s been a big week for Paris Saint-Germain and Neymar’s father has given an update on the Brazilian’s future. Reports suggest that the winger is set to leave PSG this summer. Neymar’s father has previously denied rumours linking him with Santos, claiming that he has been approached by the Brazilian club. He also denied that he has received over a hundred messages pertaining to a potential PSG move, which indicates that he is not unhappy with his current club.
During the transfer window, PSG’s fans were excited about the prospect of Neymar leaving the club. However, the Brazilian’s father was keen for his son to stay put. This decision is a sign of his commitment to his new club, and the transfer rumours may just be that Chelsea were interested. While the Brazilian has been linked with Chelsea in the past, the new manager has shown his commitment to the project.
Despite his age, the Argentine has yet to deliver any European glory for PSG. It’s no wonder that Chelsea and Real Madrid are keen to sign him, with the Brazilian reportedly placing a return to Barcelona at the top of his wish list. However, this is not a certainty as he’s still under contract until 2021.
Neymar’s offer to stay at PSG has been reciprocated
There was massive speculation over the summer that Neymar would leave Paris Saint-Germain, but it seems that the Brazilian midfielder has instead decided to remain at PSG. The Brazilian international is set to lead Brazil at the World Cup this summer in Qatar, where they will look to win their first major title since 2002. Despite the rumours, Neymar is very happy at PSG and is unconcerned with the rumors.

In a press conference in his first press conference for over two years, Neymar hinted that he would like to stay at PSG beyond the summer. The Brazilian is currently earning a gross annual salary of EUR43.4 million, which will increase to EUR50 million from next season. Neymar has a number of commercial deals and an extension clause will ensure that he stays at PSG until 30 June 2023.
While selling Neymar would be a big benefit to PSG, it is not an easy task. A number of top teams in Europe would like to bring Neymar to their squad, but few can afford to pay his wages. As long as PSG are able to retain Neymar, the French champions are sure to win the league. But what do they need to do?
Ronaldo is off the table for a move to Chelsea
Manchester United have denied any interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo, despite the rumors linking the Portuguese striker with a move to the Premier League. While reports of a move to Roma and Sporting Lisbon have also been making the rounds, Chelsea are rumoured to be interested. Nevertheless, Chelsea president Antonio Conte has insisted that the player is not on the table. This news has led many to question whether Chelsea will make an offer.
According to reports, Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly has met with Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes and is in talks about a deal. Although Chelsea haven’t made a formal approach to the player, he is still in the club’s plans. And despite the interest from other clubs, the Portuguese striker has failed to join the club on the pre-season tour.

Manchester United are reportedly not interested in selling Cristiano Ronaldo to Chelsea. Despite earning around PS500,000 a week, Ronaldo is unhappy at Old Trafford and wants out. It’s said that the Portuguese striker’s agent Jorge Mendes had conversations with Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly last month. Thomas Tuchel is said to be interested in signing Ronaldo. It’s likely that a formal bid will be made soon.
If Ronaldo were to join Chelsea, it would be a major coup for the Blues. Chelsea finished 19 points behind Man City last season, and they will be without Romelu Lukaku – who has moved to Inter Milan on loan. Without a world-class striker, Chelsea will struggle to finish higher than third. In addition, signing Ronaldo would create problems with the team’s style of play.
Liverpool have expressed an interest in signing Neymar
Recent reports have linked the Reds with the Barcelona forward. However, the current transfer ban has stopped the French giants from moving their star player. As a result, other sides have expressed an interest in signing the Brazilian. While it would be a great coup to sign Neymar, Liverpool do not have the financial clout to pull off the deal. The English Premier League side is a far cry from being among the elite sides of Europe.
While it might seem unlikely that Liverpool would be interested in signing Neymar, the Reds have an injury-prone squad. In the past two summers, the Reds have lost several key players to big money deals. In their place, they have bought players with potential but are below the top-tier. With such injuries, it is understandable that Liverpool are looking for a replacement. But, can they afford to pay Neymar’s massive transfer fee?

Another player who has come to Liverpool’s attention is Leeds winger Raphinha. The Brazilian has recently been linked with a move to Liverpool. Last season, Liverpool were linked with a deal for Leeds’ winger Jarrod Bowen. Raphinha’s transfer to Liverpool is now priced at 25/1. However, it does seem unlikely given Liverpool’s recent summer transfer ban. In the meantime, Liverpool have made an offer to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha, who is valued at PS60m.
Manchester City want to sign Raheem Sterling
Reports suggest that Manchester City are willing to let Raheem Sterling leave in the summer. The England international has expressed his desire to leave the club before his contract expires in the summer. Sterling is reportedly ready to leave the club for a PS50 million fee, which Chelsea are prepared to pay. It is understood that Sterling has a contract until 2020 and would like to move on before the expiry date.
The English striker has been a vital part of Manchester City since his PS47.5 million switch from Liverpool. The forward has helped the club to win four Premier League titles, three League Cups, and reached the Champions League final in 2021. He has also become a key player for England, making three appearances at the last European Championship. Despite his impressive performances, Sterling has openedly credited Guardiola’s coaching staff for his development. The striker views his time under Guardiola as highly successful.
Pep Guardiola has made it clear that he does not want to keep Sterling unhappy, and is prepared to sell him for PS50 million to a rival. The manager has repeatedly stated that he does not like to keep unhappy players, and would welcome Sterling to any Premier League club. Sterling has played for City for a decade, and he has won 11 trophies. Sterling has also been awarded the MBE in 2021 for his work in racial equality.

Liverpool want to sign Christian Pulisic
If you were to listen to the talk on the football pitch, the latest news on Liverpool want to sign Christian Pulisic would be a mixed bag. While the American midfielder is regarded highly by many in the Premier League, he has struggled for consistency since joining Chelsea last summer. Liverpool are likely to add another attacker to their squad this summer, and signing Pulisic would provide an ideal solution to that problem.
According to Christian Falk, a reliable source in German transfer news, Liverpool are looking to sign Christian Pulisic to help them replace Sadio Mane, who is almost certain to leave for Bayern Munich. While Liverpool have several attacking options, a second attacker may be a better option, with Divock Origi likely to join AC Milan. This would leave a space on the bench for Liverpool. If they want to keep Sadio Mane, Pulisic could be the perfect replacement.
Chelsea are a great club to play for, and Liverpool could be one of the top contenders. However, Pulisic’s current contract runs out in the summer of 2024, and the club would prefer to retain their prized asset. The US international has made 115 appearances for Chelsea, but has struggled for regular game time under new manager Thomas Tuchel. Liverpool could also look to sign Pulisic if Sadio Mane departs. However, the latter is said to be in talks with Bayern Munich.
