The reports seem to generate from more than just idle rumour and PSG boss Emery confessed that there is interest in the player, “Neymar belongs to the top five in the world,” he said. “The president and the club have been working for years to attract the best players.
“The team, but also the fans, would be glad that there is a top five, six or seven player in addition to the already strong ones who are here. This quest is not easy. Maybe we’ll get there, maybe not.”
Speaking to L’Equipe newspaper, Emery continued, “PSG wants the best players in the world, who are in the best clubs in the world. If we want to compete with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and win the Champions League, then PSG must have a player of the world top five. We are trying to get one signed this summer.”
