# Liverpool: Reds offered chance to sign Neymar

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) have been offered the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward [Neymar](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/neymar/), according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Contact made

The Brazilian’s contract at the Parc des Princes isn’t set to expire until [2025](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neymar/profil/spieler/68290), but Christophe Galtier’s side are [reportedly](https://www.90min.com/posts/neymar-offered-to-premier-league-clubs-ahead-of-potential-psg-exit) open to sanctioning a sale in the summer.

The Reds are one of several clubs believed to have already been [approached](https://www.90min.com/posts/neymar-offered-to-premier-league-clubs-ahead-of-potential-psg-exit) regarding a potential move, with the 31-year-old interested in completing a transfer to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

### The Latest: Liverpool offered Neymar

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-liverpool-offered-neymar-amid-70m-reveal/?amp), Liverpool have now been ‘offered’ the chance to recruit Neymar ahead of the 2023/24 campaign. Sources close to the situation have claimed that FSG would need to pay between £70m and £80m to secure his services for [Jurgen Klopp](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jurgen-klopp/).

However, the Merseysiders believe that a deal is ‘unlikely’ as a result of the sum being demanded, not to mention the off-field ‘baggage’ that the Brazilian would potentially bring.

### The Verdict: Don’t do it…

Neymar has been dubbed an ‘[artist](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/neymar-is-an-artist-psg-star-praised-by-galtier-for-getting-back-in-great-shape-after-underwhelming-2021-22-season/blt552d6ddc03bbfec6)’ by his manager Galtier, and whilst he ranks in the [99th percentile](https://fbref.com/en/players/69384e5d/Neymar) for four different statistics among positional peers in Europe’s top five leagues, including shot-creating actions and expected goals assisted, Liverpool are better off not pursuing a deal for him.

The [Puma-sponsored](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neymar/profil/spieler/68290) athlete has previously been criticised over his attitude, with current Aston Villa manager Unai Emery [admitting](https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/features/neymar-the-attitude_334897.html) that he had to make special accommodations for Neymar during his time in charge at PSG as a result of the Brazilian not wanting to implement the 51-year-old’s style of play.

Also, Liverpool already have Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota as [options](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/berateruebersicht/verein/31) in that left-wing position, so for someone who’d only likely be a bit-part player due to numbers and discipline, there’s no point in bringing Neymar to Anfield.

That’s before we even go into the folly of signing a 31-year-old who earns [more than £600,000 per week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/neymar/) and would shatter the Reds’ [wage structure](https://fbref.com/en/squads/822bd0ba/2022-2023/wages/Liverpool-Wage-Details) if he were to demand that amount on Merseyside.
