The future of Neymar Jr. at Paris Saint-Germain looks up in the air. Even though his contract at the Parc des Princes runs until 2027, the Brazilian has been heavily linked with a potential departure this summer, with Chelsea mentioned as a possible landing spot.

According to Le Parisien, the Blues remain interested in the 31-year-old, but are reportedly waiting to see whether he still wants out of the French capital. Given his ties with PSG new coach Luis Enrique, many believe Ney could change his mind and decide to run things back with the Ligue 1 champions.

Will Luis Enrique’s hiring make Neymar stay at PSG?

The Brazilian superstar knows the Spanish coach from their time together in Barcelona. Under Enrique’s tutelage, Neymar formed a mighty offensive trio alongside Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, who led the Catalan club to a memorable treble in the 2014-15 season.

Therefore, the outlook may have changed for the winger ahead of the upcoming campaign. With Enrique at the helm, Neymar could have a pivotal role again and the coach may convince not only the player himself to stay, but also the board not to sell him.

Now, it looks like Chelsea will wait to know Neymar’s intentions this summer before making a decision. In the event he decides to leave, the London-based outfit would also offer a reunion with Mauricio Pochettino, who worked with the No. 10 during his time in Paris.
