Talk of a Neymar move to Chelsea continues to intensify with the latest reports out of France claiming that Todd Boehly has held a meeting with the player's representatives. Neymar has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge with the Paris Saint-Germain star's future in the French capital uncertain.
It was reported earlier this week that Boehly had travelled to Paris to speak with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, with a potential move for Neymar on the agenda. Chelsea have spent big since Boehly and his Clearlake Capital consortium took over the club from Roman Abramovich in the summer and a move for Neymar would make another big splash in the transfer window.
Chelsea have been the busiest club across Europe in the transfer market since Boehly's £4.25billion takeover in England. The US billionaire has spent over £600million on players since replacing Abramovich last May and recently smashed the British transfer record with the £106.5million signing of World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez.

A move for Neymar could have big ramifications for one Chelsea player in particular, though. Christian Pulisic could head for an exit as another winger in the form of Neymar comes in.
New recruits mean other players could be set for an exit. Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Timo Werner and Emerson were among the long list of departures in the summer while Italian midfielder Jorginho completed a £12million move to London rivals Arsenal in January.
It's expected that more senior players will leave at the end of the season amid uncertainty over contract extensions of Mason Mount, N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic. However, one player who will almost be certain to depart if Neymar should sign for the club is USA international Pulisic.
The forward, 24, has been tipped to leave Chelsea in recent months after failing to cement a spot under Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter. A January move was never a possibility due to an injury picked up in December but his situation in England is expected to be assessed in the summer - when he enters the final 12 months of his deal.
Pulisic has already admitted that anything could happen regarding his future but insisted he remained focused on Chelsea. Speaking after his dazzling displays at the Qatar World Cup, the former Borussia Dortmund man told the Indirect Podcast: "Right now I'm absolutely back at Chelsea, focused and ready to finish the season.
"But you know how things work in football. Things change quickly and anything can happen. At the moment, I am just pushing myself in training and working at Chelsea because that's where I am right now."
The USMNT star is currently out injured after picking up a knock in the January defeat to Manchester City. How he performs on the field upon his return is set to play a crucial role in the decision of his future.
