Neymar in 'talks with Chelsea' after informing PSG he wants to leave

Neymar's entourage are in continued discussions with Chelsea, it has been claimed.

Neymar's entourage allegedly never seized discussions with Chelsea, who are managed by former PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino, while they have also reportedly been in contact with an unidentified Brazilian club.

The latter option is said to not be a likely option, given the player remains keen to continue playing in a major league.

The RMC Sport report follows news that the Brazilian has told Paris Saint-Germain he wants to leave the club.

According to L'Equipe, Neymar allegedly brought his family and agent, Pini Zahavi, together last week and decided that it was time to depart Ligue 1.

The 31-year-old is said to still be affected by the PSG ultras’ protest in front of his house back in the spring. Meanwhile the winger allegedly feels the French club do not do enough to protect their players.

Could Neymar sign for Chelsea?

The Mail Online claimed on Monday that Pochettino is expecting four new arrivals at Chelsea before the window closes.

Leeds United's Tyler Adams should be the first to arrive while bids are being worked on for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise and Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic. Meanwhile, Brighton's Moises Caicedo is also pushing for a move to join the Blues.

However unverified reports that new signing Christopher Nkunku could be out injured for the foreseeable future suggest that the club could consider a move for Neymar.

However L'Equipe have claimed Neymar wants to return to Barcelona, with the Catalan club also keen for a reunion.

The attacker, who is on £25million a year at PSG, was also linked with a move to United earlier this summer. Back in May, L'Equipe reported that discussions have been 'initiated' between Neymar and Premier League clubs, with the Old Trafford outfit among the interested parties.

The French outlet added that Neymar's compatriot, Casemiro was pushing for his international team mate to join him at Old Trafford.
