Brazilian star, Neymar is rumoured to be on his way out of Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

The forward joined the French giants in the summer of 2017, with PSG forking out a world-record fee of £200 million to land him from Barcelona.

The 31-year-old penned a five-year contract at Parc des Princes and has gone on to enjoy an illustrious career with them.

However, reports claim the Brazil international is keen to depart the club this summer, putting some European clubs on red alert.

According to Sky Sports, Neymar has already informed PSG chiefs of his intention to quit the club with three years left on his deal.

Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle are among the clubs the forward has been linked with in recent weeks.

Neymar's love for EPL clubs

Incredibly, Neymar has in the past expressed his love and admiration for four Premier League clubs.

According to Sportbible, the ex-Santos ace declared his love for the clubs while he was at Barcelona.

"The Premier League is a championship that amazes me," the forward said.
"I like the playing style and the teams. And who knows? Someday, I would like to play [in] it, yes. I admire Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool —these are the teams that are always there fighting," he added.

Neymar keen on PSG exit

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Neymar Jr. has reportedly informed PSG of his desire to leave the club. The Brazilian has an active contract he signed in 2021.

PSG are currently in a standoff with Kylian Mbappe, who refused to sign a new deal. It is possible they will lose the two superstars this summer.

The 31-year-old is said to have informed the club's management that he wants to leave the club this summer. His decision has likely been influenced by the protest by PSG ultras in front of his house in May this year. The fans asked Neymar to leave the club.
