Manchester United and Chelsea both looked into signing Barcelona star Neymar but were put off by the £195million asking price Paris Saint-Germain appear willing to pay for the Brazilian forward.
Reports in Brazil have suggested the 25-year-old has accepted an offer from PSG, with the French club said to have met his release clause, which was upped to £195million on July 1, although those claims have been denied in Paris.
United and Chelsea have both been in the market for a leading forward this summer, with the Red Devils having completed the £75million signing from under the noses of the Premier League champions, who continue their search for a front man.
