Neymar was very interested in a move from Paris Saint-Germain to Manchester United, before the Red Devils missed out on qualification for the Champions League.

The Brazilian forward is angling for a transfer this summer with his first choice being a return to Barcelona, but he has also drawn up a list of other options, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The 27-year-old is reportedly open to a switch to Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus, while Man Utd had been on his list, but are no longer an option.

With United competing in the Europa League this season, Neymar no longer considers them as a viable destination for him as he only wants to compete at the top level.

While it is Neymar’s first choice, a return to Barcelona is very complicated as they will not meet the enormous £198m that PSG are asking for the striker.



The only way a deal will be done is if the two clubs can identify a number of players that could be swapped for Neymar, but obviously PSG must want them and Barca must be happy to let them go, which will be difficult to achieve.

The La Liga champions have already placed a bid of £40m plus Ivan Rakitic and Philippe Coutinho for Neymar, reports the Express, but PSG turned it down.

The Parisians are keen on bringing in Coutinho, but did not believe that Rakitic and £40m on top of the former Liverpool man equated to the value of Neymar.

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel is aware that Neymar is keen to leave the club, but insists that he will do his best to work with him until a deal is done.

‘It is clear between us, now it is between the club and Ney. We work together,’ said the German manager.

‘Did I know he wanted to leave? Yes, I found out before the Copa America. But it is something between the club and Ney

‘I am the coach, it’s my player. If he is in the locker room, this is my player and I work with him.’

Despite the Brazilian’s desire to leave, it will take an enormous bid from any potential suitors to make PSG do a deal after they paid £198m for him just two years ago.

After Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have already spent big this summer, his options appear to be dwindling.
