In the midst of rumors about Neymar's desire to leave PSG and his potential contact with MU, L'Equipe unexpectedly reported that Pep Guardiola (Man City's manager) has expressed interest in the forward.
In addition to Lionel Messi having only one month left on his contract with PSG before leaving on a free transfer when both parties do not renew the contract, the future of Neymar is also receiving public attention. "The Little Pele" is rumored to want to leave the Parc des Princes this summer as the club's leadership wants Kylian Mbappe to be the number one star instead of choosing the Brazilian forward.
Just a few days ago, Neymar was rumored to have contacted several Premier League clubs, including Newcastle and MU. In fact, the English press even revealed that Casemiro played the role of a persuader to convince his Brazilian national team teammate to join him at Old Trafford.
However, Neymar has remained silent. In the midst of this, there is a rather surprising piece of information about PSG's number 10 provided by the French media. According to L'Equipe, Pep Guardiola (Man City's manager) is very keen to know Neymar's thoughts on his future before the upcoming summer transfer window, and the Spanish strategist made a phone call to get in touch with the star player.
L'Equipe newspaper has revealed that Pep Guardiola (Man City's manager) made a phone call to Neymar, enticing him to come and play in the Premier League this summer.
However, the French publication also adds that Neymar is unlikely to move to the Etihad Stadium despite Pep Guardiola's interest in him. Currently, Man City already has Jack Grealish and Phil Foden performing exceptionally well in the left-wing position, which is similar to Neymar's preferred role.
On the other hand, Manchester United might also consider pursuing Neymar if Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani, the owner of the Qatar Islamic Bank, successfully takes over the "Red Devils" from the Glazer family this summer, as they are fiercely competing with British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
