It’s fair to say Neymar to Newcastle United is a complete non-starter, but Joelinton isn’t giving up on a move for the Brazilian superstar!
French outlets L’Equipe and RMC Sport claimed last week that we were one of the clubs eyeing the unsettled PSG star, however it’s clearly a million miles away from the type of pragmatic moves we’re making this summer – something Simon Jordan highlighted during a recent rant on talkSPORT.
That said, it hasn’t stopped Joelinton reacting to the outlandish rumours, with him urging Toon teammate Bruno Guimaraes to drop his compatriot a text!
Speaking with a smile on the Cast FC podcast, here’s what the big man had to say when asked about those Neymar links:
“We can get him a spot!
“If he comes it will be…I can’t explain it. This man is an idol.
“Huge in world soccer so the invitation is done.
“Ney, if you are listening to this, you can come. I’ll run to you all the time.
“I’ll send a message to Bruno. Bruno has his contact. He can send Ney a message inviting him to play.”
