Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly the clubs leading the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar.
The PSG attacker has endured another frustrating season that has seen him miss many of his club’s games because of injury. The Brazilian is out for the season with an ankle injury he picked up in PSG’s 4-3 win over Lille in February.
This has led to reports that PSG want to sell him and take his huge weekly salary out of his wage bill.

The Parisian club are looking to rebuild their squad and are now prioritising younger players and French stars instead of big names. They want to build their team around Kylian Mbappe and could allow Neymar to leave this summer if the right offer comes.
So according to reports by Foot Mercato, Man United want to take advantage of this and bring the Brazilian to Old Trafford. However, that can only happen if they can finalise a sale of the club.
The Red Devils are in the midst of a takeover and will be able to sign quality players once the new owners take over. According to the report, several big names will be signed in the event of a successful sale, with Neymar on the list of wanted star players.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils are not alone in the pursuit of Neymar. Fellow Premier League side Chelsea are also interested in the Brazilian.
The Blues unsuccessfully tried to sign the 31-year-old last summer but will be back on the negotiation table this summer.
