Joelinton urges neymar to leave psg for newcastle

Joelinton has been speaking to Cast Futebol Clube about Neymar, where he invited his fellow Brazilian to join Newcastle. WHAT’S THE STORY? Well, this would be quite the signing for

Newcastle, to say the least. It has been said that Paris Saint-Germain are keen to sell Neymar this summer, and after Thiago Silva encouraged the £606,000-a-week man to join Chelsea,

Joelinton has now done similar with the Magpies. He said: “We can get him a spot. Ney, if you are listening to this, you can come. I’ll run to you all the time. I’ll send a message to Bruno.

Bruno has his number. He can send Ney a message inviting him to play.” Now, the Newcastle No.7 was clearly being tongue-in-cheek when speaking to Cast Futebol Clube, but a deal for the

£200m man certainly isn’t impossible. Brazilian journalist Rodrigo Oliveira has already claimed that Newcastle are “able to afford” the 30-year-old, while others have said that the Magpies

are one of just three clubs with the funds to sign Neymar. Therefore, if Eddie Howe wants the PSG No.10 on Tyneside, Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi would be able to finance it –

convincing Neymar himself is another matter. The Brazil international has already made it clear that he has no interest in a move to Newcastle. NEYMAR COULD BE NEWCASTLE ANSWER TO ROBINHO

After Manchester City were taken over by Sheikh Mansour in 2008, the Citizens made the football world sit up and take notice by sealing a £32.5m move for Robinho from Real Madrid. MORE

NEWCASTLE UNITED STORIES It was a transfer which sent shockwaves around Europe, and signalled a real statement of intent from Manchester City. Now, if Newcastle do manage to sign Neymar, it

would be an even bigger statement. Despite his underwhelming season at PSG, the South American remains one of the greatest players on the planet. Of course, his attitude in Paris has been

questioned, but with a World Cup on the horizon in November, Newcastle could receive a very motivated Neymar if they do strike a deal with PSG. If a deal materialises, it would arguably be

the most shocking move of all time, so keep an eye on his situation.
