4 things Chelsea must do to become a top side again
Football5 Clubs Neymar Could Join, Including Man United, As PSG Fans Demand He Leaves
- Neymar has once again found himself the target of Paris Saint-Germain fans' anger
- A group of fans camped outside his house recently and demanded he leave the club
- Given Neymar's quality, a lot of clubs would be willing to sign him should he depart
Neymar's relationship with a section of Paris Saint-Germain fans hit a new low on May 3, after they assembled outside his home in Paris to demand he leaves the club.
The Brazilian's transfer to the French capital from Barcelona in 2017 hasn't entirely gone according to plan, with the club still yet to win the UEFA Champions League.
In addition, Neymar's frequent inability to remain fit throughout the campaign has always rubbed the fans the wrong way.
Last summer, there were claims that fellow star, Kylian Mbappe wanted him out - a report the Frenchman vehemently denied.

The 31-year-old is currently nursing an ankle injury but going by the recent protests; he might have to find another club next season.
His fitness and injuries notwithstanding, he remains a world-class player who can fit into any team that can pay his astronomical wages.
Sports Brief has complied a list of five such teams.
1. Manchester United
There is a high likelihood that the Red Devils will be under new ownership in the summer, as the Mirror reports. Sheikh Jassim, one of the favourites to take over, has reportedly already indicated his interest to splash large wads of cash on new players.
What a statement it would be to sign the world's most expensive footballer. Neymar operates from the left wing but given Marcus Rashford's meteoric rise under Erik ten Hag, the Brazilian can slot in at number 10 or as a secondary striker, like he did for Tite in the national team.

Football2. Manchester City
United's cross-city rivals also have the wherewithal to sign Neymar. A player with the flair and class of the PSG forward can surely thrive under Pep Guardiola.
The Spanish manager's acumen and tactical nous will see him fit anywhere in his frontline. Take a moment and imagine how an attack that has Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, and Neymar would fare in Europe.
3. Bayern Munich
The Bavarian giants have never been ones to splash huge amounts of cash, but there is a growing sense of unsettlement among their current wingers. Sadio Mane could be sold just one year after his transfer from Liverpool.
Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry have also been in and out of the team under Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel. Even better for Bayern, Neymar already has a rapport with the German team's current manager.
4. Chelsea
Under different circumstances, Chelsea would rank higher on the list. However, their lack of European football next season is bound to work against them in acquiring top targets, let alone Neymar.

FootballThat aside, Todd Boehly has shown he is not afraid to put his money where his mouth is. An owner who forked out almost €100 million for an untested Mykhailo Mudryk, can do much better - or worse, depending on where you come from - for the proven and experienced Neymar.
5. Barcelona
Just like Chelsea, Barcelona could be higher on the list but their financial woes of the last two or three years are not entirely behind them. Neymar has in the past attempted to go back to Spain and likely would be open to a chance to do so if his situation in Paris becomes untenable.
Apart from the finances, Barca would prefer to have Lionel Messi over the Brazilian, given the veteran Argentine is also poised to leave at the end of the season.
Neymar speaks after fans' protests
Sports Brief has also reported on the Brazilian taking to social media to respond to angry PSG supporters wanting Neymar out along with Messi this summer.

FootballA section of supporters known as 'Ultras' showed up at his home on Wednesday in protest against his stay at the club, which he joined for a record fee in 2017.
Neymar responded to the criticism by posting a cryptic message on Instagram, suggesting he would not be drawn into the 'storm' being created by PSG fans.
