PSG worries mount as Chelsea target Neymar

This summer's transfer window has been full of surprises, and it seems like the excitement is far from over. Following several major moves, Chelsea are now considering acquiring Brazilian superstar Neymar to strengthen their attack for the upcoming season.

While the football world is caught up in the Mbappe-PSG saga, Paris Saint-Germain find itself facing yet another setback. According to a recent report by Le Parisien, Chelsea, the West London Blues, have set their sights on PSG's Brazilian superstar Neymar.

After a disappointing performance last season, Chelsea is determined to enhance their attacking options by adding the Brazilian talent to their squad. They believe that the reunion of their new coach, Pochettino, and Neymar will prove advantageous.

The question arises: How many signings are too many signings?

Since Todd Bohely took charge at Chelsea, bringing an end to the Abramovich era, the club has consistently been associated with big-name transfers. Chelsea has already secured signings such as Raheem Sterling, Cucurella, Wesley Fofana, World Cup winner Enzo Fernandes, Mudryk, and more.

However, the team's performance failed to live up to the hype as they finished 12th in the table, missing out on a European spot.

In the upcoming season, Chelsea aims to start afresh. They plan to revamp their squad, starting with the appointment of Pochettino as the new coach and adding more high-profile players to their ranks.

Can Neymar fit into Chelsea?

It is true that Neymar's move from Barcelona to Paris did not quite live up to the lofty expectations set for him. However, when a player of Neymar's caliber is in question, it would be unwise to rule out the possibility of a surprise. So, let's dispel any doubts—NO!

Despite not achieving the performance level that could have propelled him to win the Ballon d'Or, Neymar has consistently delivered impressive stats whenever he has stepped onto the field. Moreover, with the departures of Pulisic to AC Milan and Joao Felix back to Atletico Madrid, there is a vacant spot for a prominent and promising winger. If there's an opportunity to secure Neymar's services, no team in the world would let it slip away easily.

Is Neymar the answer to Chelsea's attacking woes?

As Chelsea endeavors to solve their attacking problems, following failed attempts with Aubameyang and Romelu Lukaku, resolving their winger situation is high on their list of priorities. Acquiring a player of Neymar's caliber to fill that gap could prove to be a highly fruitful deal for the Blues.

Neymar’s capability to switch between an attacking midfielder and lap ahead to score goals has the chances of becoming a big solution to Chelsea’s attacking concerns.

Pochettino-Neymar reunion 

Neymar's potential move to Chelsea would also reunite him with his former PSG coach and current Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino. The Brazilian forward played under Pochettino during the Argentinian's tenure in the French capital, where they secured the French Ligue 1 title.

The Chelsea board sees this existing connection as a potential boost to their hopes of securing the Neymar deal and making the most of it in the upcoming season.
