Newcastle United are a club on the up and they could push their status forward even further by signing one of the world’s biggest stars and that could happen this summer.
According to 90min’s Graeme Bailey, the Magpies are one of the clubs that would be interested in signing Neymar this summer as PSG is trying to push the Brazilian superstar out of the Paris-based club.
Yesterday saw PSG ultras travel to Neymar’s house in France where they chanted for the Brazil international to leave their club – an act that was condemned by the French champions.
This has left the future of the superstar up in the air and it is possible that he could leave this summer, should clubs become interested in the 31-year-old.
This would be a sensational signing for Newcastle to complete as the forward was one of the best players in Europe prior to the World Cup. The Brazilian has played 29 matches this campaign and has produced 18 goals and 17 assists for PSG.
Tyneside could be an attractive proposition for the superstar seeing as Champions League football will be at St. James’ Park next season and there are plenty of Brazilians in and around the club.
This will be a hard move for Newcastle to pull off but it will be a huge story should it come to fruition.

Newcastle United could make a move for midfielder Steve Bruce sold in 2020
Mention the name Steve Bruce on Tyneside, and it’ll likely see much rolling of eyes from Newcastle United fans, so news that the club may be in line to bring back a player that he brought in on loan only to sell at the end of the 2020 season isn’t likely to get the Toon Army too excited.
With Eddie Howe and his backroom team, alongside the new owners of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), taking the Magpies to heights that Bruce and Mike Ashley could’ve only dreamed about, anything that brings back memories of the time under the previous ownership and management will surely be frowned upon by the St. James’ Park masses.
However, the fact remains that the club is going to need a much larger squad next season as they ready themselves for an expected Champions League campaign to run alongside their Premier League season.
One of Howe’s tasks, that’ll continue throughout the 2023/24 campaign, will be to pick the right players for certain opponents, and to do that he needs multiple options.
It’s perhaps with that in mind that Nabil Bentaleb is being considered.
