Neymar at PSG
L’Équipe reported on Wednesday that Paris Saint-Germain would not be against selling Neymar this summer should a high enough offer come in, even if the Brazilian would like to stay in the French capital.
The reason for this is the former Barcelona man’s decline since his arrival in 2017, having suffered multiple injuries and seen his influence on the team falter, as well as his debatable lifestyle as an elite athlete.
L’Equipe also said his relationship with star man Kylian Mbappe who has just signed a £650,000 a week, three-year deal has deteriorated to the point the club and president Nasser Al-Khelaifi are fine with letting him go.
Incoming director Luis Campos’ team is convinced that the 30-year-old could pose an issue and that a solution is best found as soon as possible – this could involve leaving the door open to a departure.
European giants Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich have no interest in signing the 30-year-old with Newcastle the only club that could afford him and Neymar would not necessarily be keen on moving to northern England.
However, according to some sources, Neymar has no intention of leaving. The Brazilian is not bothered about Mbappé’s increasing status within the team. He loves Paris and is the second-highest earner in the squad.
The forward is convinced that he can return to form in a PSG shirt as evidenced by his 10 goals and 5 assists since returning from injury at the back end of the season.
Neymar recently became only the third player to score 100 goals for three different clubs
