In recent weeks there have been plenty of reports linking Manchester City with a move for Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar, but all logic and historical evidence suggests that these could not be further from the truth.
Neymar — who PSG signed from Barcelona for a world record £200m in 2017 — endured something of a fall from grace last season. His relationship with the club and fans deteriorated after his side's elimination from the Champions League in the last 16, and while new manager Christophe Galtier wants to keep him around, PSG are reportedly open to letting their Brazilian star leave.
Neymar still has three years remaining on the new contract he signed in 2021, so would demand hefty wages were he to move. That's why City are linked with him, and why PSG have reportedly 'offered' the 30-year-old to the Blues. Few other clubs would be able to afford him.
