Man United handed boost in Neymar pursuit as striker could still leave Barcelona
NEYMAR is reportedly in talks over a move to Paris Saint-Germain, despite claims he agreed a new five-year contract at Barcelona last week.
Neymar has scored 77 goals in 125 games for Barcelona
The Brazilian has long been linked with a move away from the Nou Camp, with Manchester United making a number of bids for his services last summer, while PSG are also known to be keen.
But reports in Brazil claimed the striker had signed a new £500k-a-week contract with the Catlan giants, keeping him at the club until 2021.
However Journalist Eduardo Inda claimed on Spanish TV show El Chiringuito de Jugones that Neymar is still in talks with PSG.
The news that Neymar is still taking to other clubs is a welcome boost for United.
They are willing to meet the 24-year-old's £144million release clause and will be able to pay his huge wage demands.
