Manchester United 'contacted' by Neymar agents and more transfer rumours

Reports suggest Manchester United have been sounded out by Neymar's representatives as speculation continues over his future.

The Brazilian ace has been linked with an exit from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with rumours suggesting the French champions may look to cash in on him. Neymar only signed a new contract with the club last year, having decided against a potential return to former club Barcelona.

Reports, though, claim there is a ‘division’ behind the scenes in the French capital, with PSG’s owners split on whether to sell him before the World Cup. Some members of the club’s board are said to be open to a sale this summer.

United have been touted as a possible destination, with 90min suggesting the club have been contacted by Neymar's agents. It still looks unlikely that United will offer him a deal, with Erik ten Hag focusing on the signings of Frenkie de Jong and Tyrell Malacia for the time being.

Manchester City are also said to have been contacted, as well as Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Very few teams though are likely to have the finances to meet Neymar’s reported salary, with the Brazilian said to be earning close to £900,000 per week.

Elsewhere, reports in Italy suggest United have been in contact with the agent of Paulo Dybala to discuss a potential move. The Argentina international is available as a free agent this summer after departing Juventus.

According to FC Inter News, Inter Milan are keen on signing the 28-year-old, but are finding it difficult to get a deal over the line after bringing Romelu Lukaku back on loan. Dybala has been tipped to stay in Italy, but has been linked with a move abroad.

United and Arsenal are both claimed to have called the forward’s agent in recent days to get to bottom of the situation with Inter. Both clubs are said to have done so with an eye on making a move themselves.
