Man Utd beating PSG in Champions League could trigger mega Neymar transfer - big claim
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN could sell Neymar if they fail again in the Champions League this season.
Neymar leaving PSG 'wont happen in January' says Nicol
That is the opinion of ESPN FC pundit and former Liverpool and Scotland defender Steve Nicol.
Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona for a world-record £200million in the summer of 2017.

However, the Brazil superstar has repeatedly been linked with a move away from the Ligue 1 side.
Real Madrid and a move back to Barcelona are two of the clubs reportedly keen on the forward.
The only possibility of him moving is another failure in the Champions League
PSG’s Qatari owners are desperate to win the Champions League but have failed to even reach the final during their time at the club.
Manchester United are their opponents in the last 16 of the competition next February.
And Nicol reckons another season of failing to win the tournament could see Neymar on his way.
“Well it’s not going to happen in January,” Nicol said of Neymar leaving PSG.
“I think the only way he moves is if it’s another failure, or the only possibility of him moving, is another failure in the Champions League and the owners rethink how they go about it.
“So it’s not happening in January.
“I guess it will happen eventually, but no not in January.”
United sacked manager Jose Mourinho on Tuesday and replaced him with interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
And Neymar reckons the Norwegian will bring a different style of football to his predecessor.
"The coach has changed and it will be a different playing style – they’re in the process of changing things up – but we know the quality they have,” he said.
“I love the big matches and it’s always a pleasure to play in them.
“I’m very happy to be taking on Manchester United.”
Neymar has scored 44 goals in 49 appearances for PSG since joining.
