Manchester United Rejected Chance To Sign PSG Superstar Neymar In Swap Deal

by ICON30 June 20220570

Manchester United reportedly decided against signing Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Neymar in a swap deal with midfielder.

Neymar, 30, continues to be linked with a departure from the Parc des Princes, as he’s irked by comments made by president Nasser Al-Khelaifi. One team linked with the Brazilian is Manchester United, although they could have already acquired the PSG star three years ago.

The Independent reported in 2019 that United’s former chief executive Ed Woodward rejected the opportunity of luring Neymar to Old Trafford. PSG reportedly approached United about the possibility of exchanging their Brazilian star with Paul Pogba, but the Red Devils deemed Neymar to be too expensive.

The 30-year-old’s wages of around £606,000 a week reportedly put Woodward off, and the former executive was also keen to retain Pogba.

The Frenchman is set to leave United as a free agent for a second time. He’s heading towards a return to Serie A side Juventus, per acclaimed transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Meanwhile, speculation over Neymar’s future continues to grow, with the Ligue 1 champions reportedly considering offloading the 30-year-old. The former Barcelona star joined the Parisians in 2017 in a £200 million deal that made him the world’s most expensive player.

He has made 144 appearances since arriving at the Parc des Princes, scoring 100 goals and contributing 60 assists. However, he has largely struggled to replicate his Barcelona heroics.
