Neymar has put Premier League suitors on red alert after his dad revealed he could quit Barcelona.

SunSport report continues:

Manchester United lead the race for the Brazil superstar, with rivals City and Chelsea also monitoring the situation.

According to reports in Spain, Neymar Snr, whose son is being probed by a Spanish court for alleged corruption and fraud, told the judge that an unnamed club has offered £144.4MILLION for the striker.

On leaving the trial in Madrid, Neymar Snr said the mega bid was NOT from Barca’s rivals Real Madrid.

We revealed in August United chiefs had secret talks over bringing the ace, 23, to Old Trafford. Boss Louis van Gaal is keen to sign a player with ‘X Factor’ to inspire Red Devils fans.

But City, with Pep Guardiola taking charge next season, and Chelsea will be in the running for Neymar’s signature should he leave the Nou Camp.

Neymar, whose court case stems from when he joined Barcelona from Santos in 2013, said last week he would like to play under Guardiola.

The Spanish manager is set to depart Bayern Munich to replace Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad.

Neymar said: “Guardiola is a guy I really admire — and who I would love to work with.”
