Premier League club, Newcastle United, are exploring a possible summer transfer for Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar Jr.

Newcastle look set to secure a top four finish in the Premier League this season.

The Magpies’ owners, PIF, want a marquee signing for next season.

There have been discussions about potentially making a move for Al-Nassr captain, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Newcastle has a connection with Ronaldo as well.

However, Ronaldo, 38, doesn’t fit Newcastle manager Eddie Howe’s vision of building a team for the future.

Hence, the club’s board doesn’t want to impose any player on Howe.

According to 90min, Neymar, however, is a player that fits the team’s criteria.

Neymar will also have a Brazilian contingent of players at St James’ Park as the likes of Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes play for Newcastle.

PSG are also reportedly ready to offload the 31-year-old in the summer. The club’s fans recently protested in front of Neymar’s home in Bougival, demanding for his departure from the club.
