Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has held discussions with Paris Saint-Germain over a potential deal for Neymar, according to reports in France.
The Brazilian forward's future in the French capital has been up in the air of late.
In fact, PSG are open to the idea of allowing Neymar to leave the Ligue 1 side this summer, according to AS, who mention his attitude towards teammates and sporting director Luis Campos.
He was, by his own admission, involved in a heated dressing room bust-up following PSG’s 3-1 defeat to Monaco on Saturday, after Campos accused the players of lacking aggression.

And his 'tenuous' relationship with club captain Kylian Mbappe continues to cause headlines.
With rumours swirling around his future at the Parc des Princes, reliable French publication Le Parisien suggest Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is interested in making a move for the former Barcelona forward.
Boehly travelled to Paris on Tuesday to hold talks with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi about the conditions of a potential deal to bring him to Stamford Bridge this summer.
Neymar, who is under contract at the Ligue 1 champions until 2025, is unlikely to come cheap but the ambitious Boehly has shown he is not afraid to splash the cash since completing a £4.25 billion takeover in May.
Last summer, they forked out a record-breaking £278 million on transfers as Kalidou Koulibaly, Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella arrived for big fees.
And the Premier League outfit have thrown a further £323 million at improving Graham Potter's underperforming squad in January, too, with Mykhailo Mudryk arriving from Shakhtar Donetsk in a deal worth £88 million.
The Blues also completed a British record £106.8 million transfer for World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez on transfer deadline day, while Benoit Badiashile, Malo Gusto and Noni Madueke also arrived from Europe.
Chelsea certainly have plenty of attacking talent in their ranks, so do they really need Neymar?
The Brazilian, who signed for Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for a then world-record fee of £200 million, takes home a reported £606,000 per week at the French club.
