Could MSN be set to be pulled apart by an extraordinary transfer fee?
Many argue that the Barcelona front three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar has become the deadliest front line in football history but a key component may be in danger of jumping ship.
Neymar’s dad has revealed that a club has offered a whopping £144.4million for the tricky Brazilian but, with a move of that magnitude difficult to complete before winter’s transfer deadline, it could mean that the Catalan club will be swayed in the summer.
Neymar Sr. didn’t identify the buying club by name but did confirm to Spanish sources, as quoted by The Sun, that it wasn’t Real Madrid.
Real president Florentino Perez has been an admirer of Neymar for some time but it’s understood that Manchester United are leading the race for the forward’s signature.
United are keen to bring their fans back onside after the discontented rumblings around Old Trafford this season and a superstar signing would be certainly be one way of winning them over.
However, with the Brazilian recently admitting that he’d love to play for Pep Guardiola in the future, perhaps a move to the other team in Manchester shouldn’t be ruled out.
