# Liverpool have spoken to Neymar’s agents

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) are one of numerous [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clubs to have held talks with Paris Saint-Germain superstar [Neymar](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/neymar/) over a summer move.**

### The Lowdown: Neymar a modern superstar

The 31-year-old is one of the leading footballers of his generation, having consistently performed at the top level for around a decade now.

Neymar is Brazil’s all-time top goalscorer, [netting 77 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neymar/profil/spieler/68290) in 125 caps for his country and also [winning](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neymar/erfolge/spieler/68290) six league titles and one Champions League trophy in his career.

He is [contracted](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neymar/profil/spieler/68290) at PSG until 2025, but recent rumours have suggested that he is [unhappy](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/neymar-psg-luis-campos-monaco-29196054) there, which could potentially lead to a move away.

### The Latest: Liverpool interest emerges

According to [*90min*](https://www.90min.com/posts/neymar-offered-to-premier-league-clubs-ahead-of-potential-psg-exit), Liverpool are one of the clubs who Neymar’s representatives have spoken to regarding a move in the summer, with a Premier League switch appealing to him.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle United are all mentioned in the report, too, ahead of a possible battle to snap him up in the coming months.

### The Verdict: Would be a big shock

Neymar is clearly an unbelievable footballer who has enjoyed so much success – he has been [called](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/one-of-the-best-players-on-the-planet-galtier-heaps-praise-on-great-professional-neymar-after-lightning-start-to-season/blt4252eeab86ca9bc7) ‘one of the best players on the planet’ by PSG boss Christophe Galtier – but it is extremely hard to see him at Liverpool next season.

\[freshpress-quiz id=“419074″\]

At 31, there is an argument to say that his peak years may just be behind him and [Jurgen Klopp](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jurgen-klopp/) needs to be signing younger players with the hunger to work hard for the team.

Neymar only averages [0.2 interceptions](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/50835/Show/Neymar) per game in Ligue 1 this season and is something of a luxury player now, while his extortionate wages could likely only be afforded by some of their rivals.

It is a shock rumour, in many ways, and while some may not be against the idea of the forward in a Liverpool shirt, it feels like a bad fit, especially when Klopp has six strong attacking options at his disposal already.
