Newcastle want to recruit Neymar

The future of Neymar Jr. at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) remains uncertain heading into the 2023-24 season. Spanish media outlet Relevo revealed that Newcastle United wants to recruit Neymar, report agencies.

The Magpies will be in the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League and the club wants to add a player that can be a difference-maker.

Newcastle has asked about him, calling the footballer's entourage, who is unhappy in Paris after the treatment received by the fans and is seriously considering a change of scenery in the summer. However, although the Premier League club is doing its due diligence, the Neymar-Newcastle operation is not advanced. Relevo notes that the agreement on an economic level is very complicated, mainly by the wage that requests the Brazilian.

Nonetheless, the Spanish media outlet concludes that if Neymar leaves PSG, it will only be to the Premier League because of price and salary.

According to information from Relevo, Newcastle have already asked PSG about Neymar, "calling the footballer's entourage," after discovering the player is "unhappy in Paris after the treatment received by the fans" and that Neymar is "seriously considering a change of scenery in the summer."

Nevertheless, the Neymar-Newcastle agreement is not advanced at all at this point and the agreement might turn into a complicated one to finalise if only on a purely financial level, mainly due to the wages reportedly demanded by the Brazilian. The most feasible destination for Neymar, especially due to the questions about his price and salary, is the Premier League.

It is no longer breaking news that PSG intends to sell Neymar. However, Newcastle could ultimately be an unlikely destination if only because of the huge investment it'd take Newcastle United FC (NUFC) and their Public Investment Fund (PIF) owners to make it happen, and the implications it might have in future Financial Fair Play issues and accounting.
