CHELSEA have stolen a march on Manchester United by reportedly opening talks to sign Neymar.
The Brazil striker has also been linked with Newcastle as PSG face an exodus of legends.
Neymar could have a choice of Prem giants to join
Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi are also heading out of the French giants.
PSG sacked boss Christophe Galtier on Tuesday despite pipping Lens to retain the Ligue 1 crown.
And Neymar, 31, is understood to be open to moving on as the Parisians face a huge summer shake-up.
He has two years left on his contract, with the option of a further 12 months.
So Chelsea would still have to splash out to land the ex-Barcelona hero as new chief Mauricio Pochettino looks to stamp his mark.
Neymar was thought to favour a move to Old Trafford.
But Le10sport say Chelsea officials are showing their backing for Pochettino – who bossed the superstar at PSG – by opening negotiations over a mega move.
Poch has also being tipped to beat Arsenal to £80milion-rated midfielder Moises Caicedo.
Meanwhile, Messi has been linked with old club Barcelona as well as Saudi Arabian teams.
And Iconic Spanish centre-back Ramos has announced his departure from PSG.
