According to reports, Pep Guardiola has reached out to Neymar to inquire about his future plans.
Neymar’s uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has reportedly made contact with the Brazilian superstar. The 31-year-old forward has been surrounded by speculation regarding his potential departure from the Ligue 1 champions this summer, with recent events fueling the transfer rumors.
The relationship between Neymar and PSG has shown signs of strain, as the club appears open to his departure. This sentiment was further emphasized when a group of ultras gathered outside Neymar’s residence, passionately urging him to leave the club ahead of the forthcoming season.
Amidst the mounting speculation, L’Equipe has now revealed that Pep Guardiola took the initiative to reach out to Neymar personally, seeking insights into the player’s intentions for the upcoming transfer window. However, despite the approach from the Premier League champions, it is believed that the chances of Neymar joining Manchester City are quite slim.
Although Neymar has endured an injury-riddled second half of the season, it cannot be ignored that prior to his setbacks, the Brazilian international showcased his exceptional form. Throughout the current campaign, he managed to contribute significantly, featuring in 29 matches and amassing an impressive tally of 18 goals and 17 assists.
