Neymar was reportedly offered to Manchester City by PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN.
However, the Premier League winners flatly rejected their suggestion that Bernardo Silva be traded and moved in the opposite direction.
Le Parisien claims that the French titans have recently moved toward City.
Despite a clause in his contract securing him until 2027, they appear to be trying to try to unload the most expensive football player in the world during mid-year.
But as City have continued to focus on signing young talent rather than the 30-year-old Neymar, there was no deal to be struck with them.
In the current exchange window, City has acquired Erling Haaland, Kalvin Philipps, and Julian Alvarez while also offloading Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling.
Silva has also been linked to an exit as Barcelona fought for it.
The Portuguese playmaker, who was one of Pep Guardiola's champion players in the title-winning effort last season, is someone who the manager is frantically trying to cling onto.
Currently, the former Monaco star is set to stay at the Etihad for a sixth consecutive year with plans to increase his startling haul of nine awards.
Together with his PSG teammates, Neymar is currently in Japan.
They have traveled to the Far East for a ten-day preseason tour as they get to know their new boss, Christophe Galtier.
Galtier has made it clear that he needed the £600,000 for seven days in order to stay at the Parc des Princes, despite his links to Chelsea and Manchester United.
After replacing Pochettino, he declared in his most memorable question-and-answer session: "He is the best on the planet, without a doubt.
"What mentor wouldn't want to work with him? I know exactly what to expect from him, quite well.
Naturally, I think he should stay.
However, Bayern has already made good use of the resources it acquired in exchange for Lewandowski, as seen by their reporting of Chelsea's pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt, a former Juventus player.
In the interim, Man Utd and Arsenal have both entered the battle for Youri Tielemans.
Additionally, Neymar allegedly received an offer from Paris Saint-Germain to join Manchester City.
