Although Neymar was not able to bag a deal away from his club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the recently concluded transfer window, it does not seem like he is going to stay at PSG for long.

The star forward had earlier made it very clear that he wants to go back to his former team Barcelona and he feels that they are not doing enough to try and rope him in. On the other hand, Barcelona stated that it was the PSG terms and conditions which made it virtually impossible for the deal to happen.

If reports are to be believed, Barcelona have gradually started losing interest in Neymar and they are hopeful of making a League winning team without Neymar. Despite all that, Neymar still hopes to make that move.

According to a report carried by Diario Gol, a Spanish sports portal, Neymar is considering a move to England as an option. The report further states that Manchester United and Manchester City would be more than happy to welcome him in his team. Other teams like Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea are also in the race, if Neymar is interested enough.

The report goes on to state that the 27-year-old wants to match at least Messi’s salary and with a higher wage rate in the Premier League, that may just be possible. Thus, a move to world’s most popular and followed football league in the world might not be that far for the Brazilian but as of now, he is still a part of PSG.
