According to reports, Manchester United is one of the only teams willing to take on Neymar's contract, and Paris Saint-Germain are open to selling.
Following the anticipated change in ownership in the upcoming months, Manchester United is reportedly keeping a close eye on Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar as a potential transfer target.
Neymar, 31, is one of the most well-known athletes in the world. He has scored over 100 goals for both Paris Saint-Germain and his former club, Barcelona, and he has 77 goals in 124 appearances for Brazil in international competition, which ties Pele for the most goals scored by a player for a single nation.
Neymar's place among the greatest players of all time is assured, but this season he has battled injuries once more, with a catastrophic ankle injury in February ending his career early.
Neymar owns the cards for when and if he leaves Paris after becoming the most expensive transfer in world football history back in 2017, but he has supporters in England if he decides to pursue a new challenge.

Foot Mercato claims that United had been monitoring Neymar's status "for several months" after making inquiries about him during the January transfer window. However, they will not be able to go further in any negotiations until the club has been sold, according to Foot Mercato.
According to the source, Neymar would likely be near the top of the list of notable talents who would be brought to Old Trafford in the case of a sale.
The Brazilian talent is also attracting interest from Chelsea, according to The Mirror, although Neymar will eventually make the final decision because his contract includes a player option to extend through 2026.
