Chelsea will move again for Neymar but one other Premier League club is also keen. PSG are set to lose Lionel Messi too as Barca reach for more levers…
CHELSEA TO RENEW NEYMAR INTEREST
Neymar could be on his way out of PSG this summer so of course Chelsea are interested.
The Mirror says the Brazilian could be one of the victims of a new approach in Paris, with the Ligue 1 leaders keen to sign younger players and develop their own talent at the new academy they are opening.
