Neymar's Chelsea transfer stance revealed amid 'secret' Todd Boehly PSG meetings on summer move

Neymar Jr to Chelsea has been a move often talked about in the past year, with the Brazilian superstar seemingly matching the aura of previous legends seen wearing blue at Stamford Bridge. The 31-year-old has often shown his capability since becoming one of the biggest signings in world football at PSG, but hasn't quite hit the highest of heights.

The Premier League could offer a chance for just that, with the Blues heavily linked with a switch last summer for the winger. This was only enhanced further in recent days as Le Parisien reported that Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly held "secret" meetings with the PSG hierarchy over a deal.

Any move would see the Boehly-Clearlake ownership extend their large spending that has come about since their takeover in May 2022. Over half-a-billion-pounds has been spent on a range of talents, from more experienced signings in the summer to those with bright futures in January.

Neymar would certainly fit into the more experienced bracket, not quite fitting the new philosophy of the hierarchy at Stamford Bridge. Though he would bring star power and with it a potential new way of unlocking defences that the side have struggled with under Graham Potter.

However, it appears as though Neymar may have already made a decision on his future and a potential move to west London in the summer. According to reports from L'Equipe, the Selecao forward is not intending on leaving the French capital when the window opens once again.

His desire is said to be winning the Champions League with PSG, with an idea of seeing out the remainder of his contract - which runs until 2025. It could dash any hopes of a switch to Chelsea, however transfer sagas have been proven to take many twists and turns, which could be on the horizon.
