What did Luke Chadwick say about a possible Neymar transfer to the Premier League?
In an exclusive interview with Caughtoffside, the Former Manchester United midfielder said: “It’s an interesting one, obviously he’s one of the best players in the world and has been for many years.
“But you look at what comes with Neymar in terms of the finances involved, and probably having to build your team around him … the best teams in the Premier League are built around an excellent work ethic, both in and out of possession.
“You look at Manchester City or Liverpool and you wonder if he’d really add that much to what they’ve got, not because of his ability, which is not in question, but whether he’s got that mindset at this stage in his career to do the work that the other players at those clubs do.
“I’d be surprised to see him in the Premier League, and obviously I’d like to see him play here because he’s such an entertaining player, but I’m not sure he’d be at the top of the shopping list for the big six clubs considering the cost of the deal and everything that comes with it.
“For United, with the experience of Paul Pogba in the last few years, I’m not sure Neymar would be someone Erik ten Hag would be looking to bring in at this moment in time.
“You look at what’s needed at United, obviously Neymar would offer them a lot when he’s on the ball, but when you look at what’s needed out of possession, and the kind of hype and fanfare of a big name like that would bring, I don’t think that’s a deal United would pursue.”
Neymar’s former agent Wagner Ribeiro has revealed Neymar is not ready to leave Paris Saint Germain and He is willing to help the French Champions win the Champions League.
