Todd Boehly handed Neymar transfer boost as Chelsea shortlisted in £40.8m Premier League tussle

Chelsea have been handed a major boost towards signing Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The 30-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Blues amid an increasingly uncertain future at Les Parc des Princes.

Last month, the Brazil international had no intention of leaving the French giants despite his parent club open to the prospect of his sale, according to L'Equipe. However, following continued speculation, RMC Sport claim that Neymar is now said to be considering his future in the France capital, but any deal for the Brazil international would reportedly need significant financial backing.

The forward, who sees his contract at PSG expire in 2025, is said to earn more than any other player at Les Parisians, claim L’Equipe - including Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. Neymar is taking home £3.4million-per-month (£40.8m-per-year), despite having only featured 28 times for the French outfit this season, directly contributing towards 21 goals.
