Barcelona Transfer News: Neymar Confirms Summer Talks Amid PSG, United Rumours

Neymar has confirmed revelations from his agent that he met with a number of clubs during the summer over a possible transfer before opting to sign a new contract with Barcelona and remain at the Camp Nou.

The Brazilian superstar's representative, Wagner Ribeiro, recently said Neymar was "close" to joining Paris Saint-Germain on a €40 million yearly salary, while he was "also close to a spell at Manchester United," per ESPN Brazil (h/t ESPN FC's Ian Holyman).

Neymar refused to confirm which clubs he had been in talks with or how much money he had been offered, but he did admit to discussions with alternative outfits before he committed himself to Barca, per ESPN FC's Sam Marsden.
