It’s a story that’s dominated the front pages of British Tabloids over the last few days. Manchester United F.C. are reportedly preparing an audacious 240 million Pound bid for Brazilian and Barcelona superstar Neymar. United and Barcelona have neither confirmed nor denied this.
Manchester United are willing to break the record for the highest transfer fee ever paid in an effort to bring the Brazilian to Old Trafford.
Neymar’s transfer fee from Santos to Barcelona is already the highest ever paid by any club in the world, more than what Gareth Bale cost Real Madrid from Tottenham in 2013.
However, if United and Barcelona agree to the reported sum of 240 million Pounds for Neymar, it will be by far the most expensive transfer in the history of football.
Will the 23-year-old Neymar move to England having just won an unprecedented four trophies with the Catalan giants, including the UEFA Champions League?
The British media insist there is no smoke without fire. United’s goalless draw at home with Newcastle United has surely added fuel to speculation.
On Neymar, United coach Van Gaal said: “I don’t enter into this discussion. You can ask about all the players in the world, you do it every press conference and every press conference I say the same to protect the interests of Manchester United.”
With less than a week to go for the transfer window to shut, Neymar will keep United and Barcelona fans on their toes.
