According to Foot Mercato, Manchester United are keeping tabs on the South American's future in the French capital.
The Red Devils have reportedly been monitoring the 31-year-old since the beginning of the year, and while they are yet to make any concrete offers, the record English champions are said to have enquired about the skilful attacker's availability.
Any possible deal that would see football's most expensive player ever make the move to Old Trafford has, however, been put on pause and will depend on whether or not the Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's attempted takeover of the club is successful.
Neymar is injured once again for Les Parisiens as he saw his 2022/23 season come to a premature end after undergoing ankle surgery in February.
PSG chiefs have reportedly become disillusioned with the Selecao winger and would like to offload his hefty wages.
Another Premier League outfit in Chelsea previously made serious enquiries into bringing the Mogi das Cruzes native to London at the beginning of the season, but ultimately Brazil's all-time top marksman opted to stay at the Parc des Princes.
Neymar has reportedly made it clear he wishes to retire in Paris, but given his continual injuries since arriving at the Ligue 1 giants, it seems the club want to close his chapter at the Parc des Princes.
