According to rumours in the media, Brazilian star Neymar is being linked with a January transfer to Premier League team Manchester United According to rumors from EL Nacional and Manchester Evening News, Manchester United is considering signing Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar Jr. in the upcoming transfer season. Despite the Old Trafford club's obvious financial difficulties, United recently made a strong statement by signing Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varne, and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo. Neymar's addition to the squad may prove to be a turning point for United as they attempt to break their poor run of play in the Premier League in 2021-22.
In 128 appearances for PSG, the 29-year-old Neymar has scored 90 goals and assisted on 55 others, but his time with the Ligue 1 club has been plagued by injury. If United express interest in him, he may consider the shocking move, noting the uncertain future at PSG as they seek balance on and off the field with the signing of great footballer Lionel Messi. At the same time, El Nacional reported that Neymar had no intention of leaving PSG any time soon. The fact that Kylian Mbappe's contract with PSG expires at the end of the current season may help his cause at the club. Mbappe has previously rejected down Real Madrid's invitation to join them twice, and if he decides to leave Ligue 1, Neymar might be in line for a longer stay at the club.
At the same time, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been linked with a move to Spain. Pogba's desire to leave United reached an all-time high when the Frenchman and his agent, Mino Raiola, turned down a deal to extend his contract at Old Trafford. PSG, Real Madrid, and his former club Juventus all expressed interest in signing him, but he declined. The January transfer window will open on January 1st, and the football world may see some high-profile and high-value transactions as a result of rumors surrounding stars such as Neymar, Pogba, and Mbappe.
