Manchester United have offered Barcelona a
whooping €190 million (£144m) offer off for
Brazil star, Neymar, to join the Red Devils during
summer.

United, who have been in a hot chase for the
former Santos of Brazil forward are ready to pay
a world-record fee by activating the Brazil
international’s release clause, but club and
player held firm and Neymar Senior expects the
forward to stay put for the foreseeable future
as well.

He told COPE: “ Manchester United is the side
that offered €190m for Neymar. He has still two
years left on his contract but you all [the media]
can be calm as my son is so happy here.”

United spent over £108m on new players in the
transfer window last summer, though they made
much of that back with sales including Angel Di
Maria’s departure for Paris Saint-Germain, but a
successful bid for the Barca star would have
taken that purchasing spree to huge new levels.

Since United’s failed attempt to sign him,
Neymar has scored 21 goals in 27 games across
all competitions for the Blaugrana this season,
continuing his incredible partnership with Lionel
Messi and Luis Suarez.
