Reports in the media claim Manchester United are prepared to pay Neymar's buyout clause at Barcelona and also offer the 25 year old £22m a year.
The English club has gotten in touch with the Brazilian through his representatives in a bid to tempt him away from the Camp Nou, they have offered him an economic and sporting offer that he cannot refuse according to reports. Mourinho is desperate to reinforce Manchester United as a European force and Neymar has been identified as a potential 'power signing'.
Mourinho is steadily on the phone with Neymar and tries to convince the Brazilian that a move away from Nou Camp will suit him as he will no longer be living in Messi's shadow. Manchester United who had already paid £89m for Paul Pogba last summer are ready to splash £170m on Neymar to shatter their own record.
Roman Abramovich's Chelsea also want the Barcelona forward but are not prepared to pay the buyout clause. Manchester United's position does not help them because the club still look unlikely to play in the Champions league next season and that will be a criteria if Neymar is to sign, for now though the Brazilian is happy at Barcelona and is yet to be convinced.
