Newcastle want to sign Neymar, player currently looking to end season with Ligue 1 title

According to reports, Newcastle is considering launching a wave of acquisitions of Neymar in the transfer market this summer after determining that Ronaldo is not suitable for the club.


According to 90min, the club could afford Neymar 's arrival as the club look to add a left-wing attacker to their squad in the upcoming transfer window. Neymar has already hinted at his future by liking a tweet referring to Paris Saint-Germain as a "small club".


Ronaldo is also reportedly being tipped as a potential target, but he is not considered a player who could fit directly into Eddie Howe's side. Neymar is considered an easier acquisition, with Paris Saint-Germain apparently willing to sanction a deal.


Separately, PSG superfans staged a protest outside Neymar's Paris residence earlier this week, urging him to leave the club. Paris Saint-Germain know it will be next to impossible to recoup the world-record fee of £194.3 million they paid for Neymar , and they have set their asking price for the player at around £75 million.


The sidelined PSG superstar is hoping to end the season with the Ligue 1 title, with the club currently five points clear of second-placed Marseille with five games to go.
