In the previous days, the football market was shaken by the dissatisfaction of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United and possible options for continuing his career. And now another soap opera transfer is on the horizon due to a dissatisfied star. Neymar does not like some things in Paris Saint-Germain and the option of his departure from the City of Light is a possibility. And it seems that even the club from the Princes’ Park would not mind getting rid of the Brazilian national team player.’Is Neymar part of the project? Some will come, some will go’Until a few days ago, Neymar was satisfied in Paris and it did not occur to him to change the club in the year of the World Cup. But, president Nasser Al Khelaifi went public and said some things that the Brazilian did not like.“Is Neymar part of the new project? We can’t talk about these issues in the media, some will come and some will go, but these are private negotiations. Now PSG’s position is clear: players who are not part of the project will have to leave. Some took advantage of the situation, now it’s over! What I can tell you is that we expect all the players to do a lot more than they did last season. A lot more! They all have to be 100%. Been good enough to go far. For next season, the objective is clear: to work every day at 200%. To give everything we have for this shirt, to give the maximum and we will see the result. We have to become humble again” said PSG president just a week ago.🚨 Neymar ideally wants to stay at PSG but the recent comments from Nasser Al-Khelaifi has changed the situation. He wants the French club to clarify their position but is now more open to leaving if the club want him gone.

After all, Neymar played only 28 games last season, scored 13 goals (three from the penalty spot) and recorded six assists. In all competitions. For example, he did not score a single goal in the Champions League. A meager performance for the most expensive player of all time and someone whose gross annual salary is pharaonic 49,000,000 euros.Not too many goals, nor the UCL trophy, but birthday boy Leo has brought PSG an astonishing €700 millionIt seems that in Paris, they are slowly giving up on Neymar and the project in which he was supposed to be the leader who will climb the Saints on the much desired ‘roof’ of Europe. Five years have passed and PSG have been eliminated in the eight finals of the Champions League three times in those five seasons. They had another final and a semifinal in which the Brazilian did not provide what he was brought for. In those three matches of the semifinals and finals, he had neither a goal nor an assist. Neymar played 144 games and scored 100 goals in five seasons. It is not a bad goal-scoring performance, but the problem is that he was often absent in the most important games and that he scored 70% of the goals in the French championship, where PSG is dominant for years, with or without Neymar. And when the number of games played is divided by the number of seasons, the number is reached that he played less than 30 matches per season.(2.25) CORINTHIANS (3.00) BOCA JUNIORS (3.60)A stormy life off the field, frequent injuries and helplessness in the key matches of the Champions League have seriously melted Neymar’s credit with the club’s owners. As of this summer, PSG has thrown all the cards on Kylian Mbappe as the team leader and made him the highest paid player in the world. The Parisians also gave him the authority to ask about the club’s sports policy, and unofficial information says that he would like to see Neymar’s back. The situation since the contract extension is such that every Kylian’s wish becomes practically an obligation for PSG to do everything it can to fulfill it. Neymar realizes that his influence is no longer so important. There have been whistles during the season and he no longer feels loved as he did before. He doesn’t like to be in anyone’s shadow, which he showed when he left Messi’s shadow five years ago to be the main star in Paris. With the arrival of Messi last summer, his star in Paris ‘darkened’ even more.Al Khelaifi: It’s over with glitter and spotlights in Paris; Zidane was not an option, we are negotiating with NiceBut, the biggest obstacles to any deal would be finances. The Brazilian costs almost 50,000,000 euros per season and has a contract for another four years. They also know in the French club that Neymar cannot get those conditions anywhere in the world. The player knows that too. But some options still exist. Manchester United could finance his arrival if Ronaldo leaves. Chelsea also have money for Neymar if new boss Todd Boehly decides to start a new era with the transfer of some big star. Juventus is interested, but the question of finance remains. The return to Barcelona is not realistic due to the financial crisis of the Catalan club. Neymar is also worried that the change of the club would reflect on his representative future, as this World Cup is the last chance for him win the tournament with Brazil. In the coming days, Al Khelaifi and director Campos should hold talks with Neymar and his entourage. After that meeting, a lot should be clearer …
