Rivaldo talks up Chelsea option for PSG star Neymar

Brazil legend Rivaldo has urged Neymar to join a 'big club' amid interest from Chelsea.

The Selecao star has been linked with an exit from PSG, however potential destinations appear to be limited.

But Rivaldo has named Chelsea as a legitimate destination for the 30-year-old.

"It's still unclear if the rumours are true about PSG possibly selling Neymar this summer," Rivaldo told Betfair.

"But I imagine that the Brazilian star won't be too worried because he knows that even if he leaves the French club he will always have a lot of big clubs looking to sign him, including Chelsea.

"Neymar continues to be one of the best players in the world and has no reason to worry about leaving a club, as he would probably have a lot of big clubs fighting for Champions League success chasing his services.

"At 30-years-old he still has a couple of more seasons at the highest European level and even if he leaves PSG I'm sure he will continue to show all his magnificent skills in Europe on a regular basis."
