Manchester United have wanted Neymar for a long time, but not until reading this morning’s edition of the Catalan newspaper Sport did we truly understand just how much they want him. With the aid of a popular online translation tool, we learn that United are ready to “throw the house out of the window” to land the Barcelona superstar. Wow.
In practical terms, Sport says this involves the Red Devils making a £173m bid for the Brazilian and offering him a £21m-a-year salary – double what he earns at the Nou Camp. This is apparently “an offer he cannot refuse”.
Jose Mourinho is said to be making “regular phone calls” to Neymar and telling him a move to Old Trafford would be a “step forward in his career” because he wouldn’t have to “live in the shadow of Messi”, which sounds like it would get a bit annoying after a while. Back off Jose, play it cool – don’t ruin this.
