Following another injury-plagued season for the world's most expensive footballer, speculation has surfaced that Paris Saint-Germain and Neymar could part ways this summer.
Neymar arrived at the Parc des Princes in 2017 in a world-record-breaking £198 million sale from Barcelona, but despite a spectacular goal record in France, he has struggled to maintain his fitness for much of his time there.
In each of his five seasons, the Brazil international has failed to start more than 22 league games, and there are reports that PSG may let the 30-year-old to depart if a reasonable bid comes in.
So, for those of you who enjoy following the odds on the best betting sites, we've decided to take a look at the five bookmakers' top picks to sign Neymar.
Manchester United has a 16/1 shot.
Manchester United are listed at odds of 16/1 to pursue Neymar this summer as Erik ten Hag attempts to revamp a faltering squad at Old Trafford.
Last season, the Red Devils had their worst-ever Premier League season in terms of points total, and they are in desperate need of both direction and quality heading into the 2022/23 season.
The arrival of Neymar – who has scored 100 goals in 144 appearances for PSG – would certainly represent a statement of intent, though the expensive signing of an injury-prone player over the age of 30 is far from the recruitment model the new boss will be looking to implement for his rebuild.
Real Madrid – 14/1
Could Real Madrid make another move for a PSG superstar?
Kylian Mbappe had been expected to swap Paris for Madrid this summer, but the forward’s decision to turn down the Spaniard’s advances and sign a new deal has upset the Bernabeu board.
With cash in reserve following Mbappe’s snub, the European champions could view Neymar as a viable alternative as the club look to ease the goalscoring burden on Karim Benzema.
