Brazilian crack can leave PSG?

Last week, Neymar returned to Paris Saint-Germain. The player is still recovering from the ankle injury he suffered months ago and still has no forecast of returning to the pitch, being doubtful for the French team’s pre-season friendlies. Even in this scenario, there is a club that is interested in the athlete.

According to the French newspaper Le Parisien, Chelsea, from England, is keeping an eye on Neymar and is interested in signing the Brazilian star. The English club awaits Neymar’s next steps and also Paris Saint-Germain, as the French team is undergoing cast reformulations.

Also according to Le Parisien, businessman Todd Boehly, owner of Chelsea, would like to have the Brazilian on the team and welcomes the possibility of bringing together Neymar and Mauricio Pochettino, coach who commanded PSG in 2021 and 2022.

Neymar has not played for Paris Saint-Germain since February, when he suffered an injury to his right ankle during a Ligue 1 match against Lille. The number 10 of the Brazilian national team had to undergo surgery, which was recommended by the medical team at Paris Saint-Germain due to the athlete’s injury history. It is likely that Neymar will only return to the pitch from September, staying out of the team’s pre-season.

Paris Saint-Germain’s pre-season starts on July 21, when they will face Le Havre AC, a club that gained access to the French first division last season after being champion of Ligue 2. After that friendly, PSG goes to Japan to face Al-Nassr, on the 25th, Cerezo Osaka, on the 28th, and Inter Milan, on the first day of August.
