"Manchester City", which has the greatest purchasing power in the English Premier League, took a serious step towards acquiring the Brazilian star Neymar.
On February 6, some of the Manchester City team leaders Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain began negotiations with Neymar's family and representatives during a friendly match between the England and Brazil national teams at Wembley Stadium, as reported by dailymail.co.uk.
The 21-year-old forward is expected to begin his journey to Europe after the World Cup. It is expected that this tournament will further increase the player's value.
However, Manchester City is not the only club interested in acquiring Neymar. Barcelona currently holds the highest position on the list.
Manchester City is hopeful that their wealth from Qatar will allow them to offer a contract of equal or even better value.
