Neymar may be with the Brazil squad, preparing for the upcoming World Cup, but his recent remarks will cast a more distracting spotlight on the player's future. The 26-year-old has admitted to a desire to work under Pep Guardiola.
The PSG ace is already being bombarded with reports linking him with Real Madrid. Los Blancos is believed to be on the radar for a new, young Galactico – the Selecao ace ticks all of those boxes. While the world's most expensive player has squashed rumors of a return to Spain, his comments on Pep will now have him linked with Man City.
Although it is unlikely that the Citizens will be able to outbid the Champions League winner for Neymar, their attention might have been grabbed by his choice of words for their Spanish manager. As stated by the Sun, the former Santos sensation said he "really wants to work with Pep Guardiola".
The Brazilian missed out on the opportunity to work under the manager when he moved to Camp Nou, as Pep's reign had already come to an end by then. The Spanish tactician is contracted at the Etihad Stadium for another three years, meaning the easiest route for Neymar is to join him at Manchester.
Signing the Ligue 1 Player of the Year would undoubtedly improve the Premier League champion. His deadly connection with Gabriel Jesus will also be beneficial for Man City – and a nightmare for their English rivals.
However, as of now, the reports linking the attacker with the Manchester giant is insufficient. Furthermore, his price tag would be astronomically high.
Neymar is currently with the national side, continuing his road to recovery. While he admits he's not 100 percent fit, he hopes to feature for Tite's side in their friendly against Croatia on June 3.
