According to Goal, PSG chiefs are willing to listen to offers for the former Barcelona star for who they forked out £200m to snap him from Camp Nou in 2017.

However, offloading the Brazil international will not be cheap for interested suitors as the forward is tied to a long-term contract at Parc des Princes until 2025.

Neymar wants to win the Champions League at PSG

Wagner Ribeiro, a former football agent of the Brazilian star has now claimed that Neymar is unwilling to leave PSG until he wins the Champions League with the club.

“Neymar has a dream: to be champion of the Champions League with PSG," Wagner told Goal.
“Despite all the rumours regarding a possible exit, he is very motivated and will not stop until he achieves it," he added.

While PSG have continued to strengthen over the years, they have often fallen short in their pursuit to conquer Europe.

The closest the French giants have come to winning the European competition was in 2020 when they narrowly lost in the final against Bayern Munich.

How Chelsea missed the chance to sign Kylian Mbappe

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Chelsea came close to signing Paris Saint-Germain ace, Kylian Mbappe, while he was aged just 14.

At the time, Mbappe trialled with the Blues but was unable to seal a permanent move as the EPL side wanted him to have a second trial.

The Frenchman went on to join AS Monaco where he shot to stardom before he later moved to PSG.
