  • Joelinton has hailed Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar as a football legend and asked the star to join Newcastle
  • Neymar's future at PSG is still up in the air, with the club reportedly looking for ways to offload him
  • Newcastle could afford Neymar given their new-found riches but would have to dig deep to conform with Fair Play Rules

Newcastle United forward Joelinton has asked Neymar to consider joining him at Newcastle this summer. The future of Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain remains uncertain, with reports suggesting that he has been asked to leave.

Should Neymar leave PSG, only a few clubs can afford his huge wages and one of those clubs is Newcastle. The Saudi takeover in October last year made it the richest club in world football.

Joelinton is excited at the prospect of getting another Brazilian at the club. Bruno Guimaraes joined in January from Lyon and plays with Neymar for the national side.

Speaking on Cast FC as quoted by The Sun, the 25-year-old said,

We can get him a spot. If he comes it will be, I can't even explain it. The man is an idol. Huge in world football, so the invitation is done. Ney, if you are listening to this, you can come.

The former Hoffenheim star even offered Neymar his preferred number 10 shirt which is currently won by fan favourite Allan Saint-Maximin.

Thiago Silva has asked Neymar to join him at Chelsea if he leaves PSG

It looks like there is a lot of lobbying going on to secure Neymar's signature. Sports Brief had earlier reported that it had emerged that Thiago Silva is working secretly to convince Neymar to join Chelsea if he ends up leaving Paris Saint-Germain.

Reports have been circulating that PSG wants to do away with Neymar, Chelsea and Juventus have been touted as possible destinations for the 30-year-old.

And now his long-time friend Thiago Silva wants Neymar to join him in London. Silva and Neymar have been teammates at PSG and shared the same dressing room at the national team level.
