Reports suggest that Manchester United is actively engaged in negotiations for a high-profile summer transfer for PSG Forward Neymar.
These negotiations could potentially indicate that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is in a favorable position to acquire the club from the Glazers, amidst ongoing speculation about his plans for player transfers.
L’Equipe reports that United has initiated talks with PSG regarding a possible summer deal involving the 31-year-old Brazilian.
According to the report, PSG prefers a permanent transfer as Neymar is eager to leave France for a fresh challenge.
However, it is also mentioned that PSG may consider a loan offer from United, wherein the club would contribute to Neymar’s salary, with or without an option to buy.
There are claims that Casemiro is in contact with Neymar to persuade him to make a move to Old Trafford.
This development aligns with earlier reports that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani aims to buy Manchester United and bring in Neymar as a marquee signing to make a statement if he surpasses Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the race to purchase the club.
Sheikh Jassim intends to complete a full takeover this summer, ending the Glazers’ 18-year tenure as the club’s owners.
The ongoing discussions between Manchester United and PSG hint at the potential success of Sheikh Jassim’s acquisition bid.
While Ten Hag is seeking attacking reinforcements for his second season as manager, his focus appears to be on signing a striker rather than a winger.
