Neymar’s agent, Wagenr Ribeiro, has revealed that the player was close to signing for Manchester United or Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
The Brazil forward, has since penned a long term contract with Barcelona until 2021.
“He was close to joining PSG,” Ribeiro told Bate-Bola Debat.
“He would have earned €40 million a year net.
“Neymar was also close to a spell at Manchester United, but he extended his contract to earn less at Barcelona because he wanted to stay at Barcelona.”
However, an unnamed PSG source, has told L’Equipe that there was no interest in Neymar.
“It’s totally false,” they said.
“With employer contributions on top, that salary would have cost more than €60m a year. It’s obscene. Neymar used us to strengthen his hand with Barcelona.”
