Neymar ‘wants to leave PSG in the summer, with the French giants willing to offer a cut-price deal to get his £44m-a-season salary off the books’… amid interest in the Brazilian from Chelsea, Newcastle and Man United

Neymar wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, according to reports.

The Brazilian superstar has suffered an injury-hit season in the French capital, only making 20 Ligue 1 appearances.

And amid Financial Fair Play concerns, PSG are said to be keen to cash in on the forward to get his giant £44million-a-season salary off their wage bill.

As reported by Brazilian outlet UOL, the French giants are so keen to get him off their books, they would be willing to make a ‘significantly reduced’ deal with an interested club.

Indeed, UOL add that PSG has made it clear behind the scenes in recent days they want to sell Neymar in the summer transfer window.

The 31-year-old is said to be aware of their decision and is himself pushing for an exit to grant him a fresh start amid fans calling for him to leave.

Premier League sides Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle are among the sides to have been credited with interest in the former Barcelona star.

Christophe Galtier’s side made the 124-cap international the most expensive player of all time when they bought him for £198m from Barca in 2017.

Despite that, they are said to be willing to make a substantial loss as part of the squad overhaul initiated by president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

Argentine Lionel Messi, 35, may leave this summer too, with manager Galtier also potentially on the chopping block.

Mail Sport reported on Monday that Messi will consider a £320m-a-year megadeal from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.

But any desire Lionel Messi might have in moving to Saudi could be impacted by his wife Antonella, who is reportedly hesitant about the family moving to the Gulf state.

Messi is prepared to wait until the end of the season to make his decision – one that could be influenced by his wife Antonela Roccuzzo. French publication L’Equipe have reported that Antonela ‘can’t imagine’ their family moving to Saudi Arabia.
