In case you didn’t know…
The Neymar saga has been one of the longest-running transfer stories this summer, with the Brazilian seemingly left undecided on his next destination.
The wantaway Paris Saint-Germain star has been heavily linked with Clasico rivals, Barcelona and Real Madrid, and is believed to be keen on reuniting with his former teammates at Camp Nou.
The 27-year-old spent four years with Barcelona, where he formed the one of the most feared attacking trio in Europe alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. He later left the Catalan giants for PSG in a record-breaking transfer in 2017.
Following limited European success at PSG in a stint marred by injuries, Neymar has been linked with a sensational return to Catalonia.
However, it appears the Spanish giants are not the only ones vying for the forward’s signature, as Serie A champions, Juventus have now joined the race.
The heart of the matter
Rivaldo believes the tantalising prospect of Neymar and Ronaldo working together would greatly benefit Juventus in their race for the Champions League title, as he backs the duo to form a dangerous partnership in Turin.
Speaking to Betfair, he said:
What’s next?
Juventus are reportedly willing to offer PSG a player-plus-cash deal involving Paulo Dybala in exchange for Neymar, as they are looking to strengthen their squad in the hopes of finally winning the Champions League, a title that has eluded them since 1996.
There is no certainty regarding how this saga will turn out, and it remains to be seen if Neymar will actually leave the Ligue 1 giants after all the speculation.
