Talk of a Neymar move to Chelsea continues to intensify, with the latest reports out of France claiming that Todd Boehly has held a meeting with the player’s representatives.
Neymar has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge with the Paris Saint-Germain star’s future in the French capital uncertain.
It was reported earlier this week that Boehly had travelled to Paris to speak with PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, with a potential move for Neymar on the agenda.
Chelsea have spent big since Boehly and his Clearlake Capital consortium took over the club from Roman Abramovich in the summer and a move for Neymar would make another big splash in the transfer window.
Chelsea have been the busiest club across Europe in the transfer market since Boehly’s £4.25 billion takeover in England.
Neymar In May Mean Pulisic Exit
The US billionaire has spent over £600 million on players since replacing Abramovich last May and recently smashed the British transfer record with the £106.5 million signing of World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez.

A move for Neymar could have big ramifications for one Chelsea player in particular, though.
Christian Pulisic could head for an exit as another winger in the form of Neymar comes in.
New recruits mean other players could be set for an exit.
Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Timo Werner and Emerson were among the long list of departures in the summer while Italian midfielder Jorginho completed a £12 million move to London rivals Arsenal in January.
It’s expected that more senior players will leave at the end of the season amid uncertainty over contract extensions of Mason Mount, N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic.
However, one player who will almost be certain to depart if Neymar should sign for the club is USA international Pulisic.
