Neymar 2023/24 Club Odds*

Neymar has been with Paris Saint-Germain since 2017, although the Brazilian has only made 173 appearances for the French side in that time. His career with PSG has been blighted by injury, and the 2022/23 season was cut short for the forward after an ankle injury meant that his last game was against Lille on 19 February. The 31-year-old has represented Brazil in three World Cups, but he has not got past the quarter-final stage.

PSG spent the princely sum of £198 million to land Neymar from Barcelona six years ago, although it could be that the 31-year-old now leaves the French capital, and football betting sites have priced the odds for several clubs who might be prepared to make a big-money approach for the forward’s services.

That includes Premier League clubs Chelsea and Manchester United, who already have Brazilians Casemiro, Fred and Antony on their books. They might be open to landing a marquee signing, especially if the new owners want to make a statement after taking over at Old Trafford. We also know that Chelsea have the finances to make a move happen after spending over £500 million in January.

Will Neymar Stay At PSG If Messi Leaves?

It seems increasingly likely that Lionel Messi is going to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, and perhaps Neymar will therefore stick around, with the Brazilian still contracted at the Ligue 1 giants. It’s been an injury-hit season as the forward continues to recover from an ankle problem, although he could be ready to forge a partnership with Kylian Mbappe next term.

Neymar is on a handsome contact at the French club. He has scored 24 goals for club and country since the beginning of last June, with the forward starting the 2022/23 season on fire. There are two main issues with the player at PSG: injury problems are accompanied by a lack of discipline on the pitch.

It’s always a challenge for any PSG manager to control an ego as big as Neymar’s, and it will be interesting to see whether the club are keen to retain the player’s services or listen to offers from other clubs in a bid to make Mbappe the main man and play the French forward in his preferred central attacking position.

Neymar Linked To Manchester United 

There’s no smoke without fire, and French newspaper L’Equipe has been reporting that Manchester United are in "advanced talks" to sign Neymar this summer, with the Red Devils clearly in need of boosting their attack. With new owners set to take over at Old Trafford, this could be a marquee signing that is likely to delight supporters. Some betting apps see a move to Old Trafford possibly happening this summer.

With Casemiro having been an instant hit at Old Trafford, perhaps his compatriot can be persuaded to come to Manchester, with Erik ten Hag needing more firepower at the club considering that the team have been over-reliant on Marcus Rashford for goals this season, with Anthony Martial and Wout Weghorst struggling to score goals regularly.

Brazilian winger Antony and midfielder Fred are also on the books at United, and the odds suggest that a move could happen, with Neymar potentially looking for a clean break after a tumultuous time at PSG. He could be part of a Premier League and Champions League assault with the Red Devils.

Chelsea Looking for Quality Forwards

It’s wild that Chelsea have been short of goals this season despite spending over £500 million on players this season. While Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk are likely to prove astute signings at Stamford Bridge, there was a distinct lack of goals from them, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz have struggled to make an impact.

Therefore, it could be that Chelsea return to the market and look to capture Neymar this summer, with the Brazilian having previously worked with prospective new Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino at PSG. Money appears to be no object for owner Todd Boehly, who has previously held talks with Neymar’s representatives, and new betting sites suggest a move to Stamford Bridge could be back on.

There will be no European football for the Blues next season, but Pochettino will be expected to mount a top-four assault, and with no midweek ties to distract them, possibly they might even be targeting the title. Much depends on whether Neymar is prepared to join a team who are something of an unknown quantity after a difficult campaign.

Italy or Germany Next For Neymar?

Neymar is likely to have approaches from a number of quarters, and perhaps there could be some Serie A clubs interested in landing his signature. The Brazilian might be attracted by the prospect of operating in Italy, with Inter and AC Milan offering him the chance to play in a glamorous location, and he is sure to get amongst the goals domestically and in Europe for these sides.

Perhaps Juventus could even make an approach, and they previously had Cristiano Ronaldo on their books, while Napoli are kings of Italy right now and will be looking to strengthen ahead of the 2023/24 season, having been the stand out team in Serie A this season.

If Neymar doesn’t head to Italy, then perhaps the German Bundesliga could be his next destination. There are rumours that Sadio Mane will be leaving Bayern Munich this summer, and Neymar would represent a like-for-like replacement, with Thomas Tuchel having worked with the Brazilian previously during his time at PSG, and perhaps the pair could be reunited.
