Parisians in sensational swap proposal

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly offered Manchester City a sensational swap deal involving Neymar and Bernardo Silva.

The Parisian side are very keen on the Portuguese attacker and are willing to part with their Brazilian star to convince the Citizens to agree to the deal.

New head coach Cristophe Galtier has made the former Benfica and Monaco man one of his top priorities this summer, hence PSG's surprise offer of Neymar.

If it happens, this would be one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer, perhaps uniquely involving two such high-calibre players switching clubs.

All this is according to 'Le Parisien' in France, who also claim that Pep Guardiola is not keen on the deal and wants to keep Bernardo Silva at the Etihad next season.

The 27-year-old, however, is very much in demand, with Barcelona also keen.

Galtier, meanwhile, doesn't want to lose Neymar, but the PSG board seem to have other ideas and wish to move the Brazilian on.

Neymar himself is happy in Paris and has no desire to move, recently having renewed his deal through 2026.
