Despite a dilettante investment at PSG, Neymar does not intend to change the air anytime soon. The Brazilian intends to complete his contract.
Injured, Neymar will not play the clash against Marseille this weekend, and he may well miss the Champions League round of 16 second leg against Bayern on March 8. Credited with a good first part of the season, the Brazilian wisp has been much less convincing in recent weeks since his return from the World Cup. And it is with malicious pleasure that he regularly provokes his detractors, again recently by appearing in fast football or spending his days off at a poker table.
Since his arrival at PSG in 2017, Neymar has thus evolved, as a dilettante, between brilliant strokes and disenchanted parentheses, ultimately unable to help his club reach the ultimate milestone which makes the champions of Europe. Paris, under the leadership of Luis Campos, became aware of this when seeking to transfer him last summer. But the Auriverde, with a contract with multiple automatic extensions running until June 2027 now, knows full well that he has more to lose than to gain by leaving the French capital.
“Neymar is not willing to leave the club”
« He, in any case, does not see himself dreaming anywhere but in Paris, for the moment. Under contract for four years still at the end of this season, he knows that the club could come back to the charge, like last summer, to send him the message that he is no longer wanted and invite him to the departure. But that’s still not his intention. Even if Messi, his friend, does not stay in the capital – which is the trend – Neymar is not ready to leave a club where he now feels good. He knows that each of his deviations will raise waves of criticism but he prefers to have fun, even if it means playing provocation “, can we read this Monday evening in the digital pages of L’Equipe.
The suitors for such a player – with the risks that such a bet entails – are not numerous on the market. If not Chelsea, which with the American Todd Boehly at its head seems ready for all kinds of madness, or Newcastle, whose Saudi resources open up many prospects. ” In his entourage, however, we are listening to the market and we measure that Neymar’s salary (4 M€ gross monthly) will, in any case, be a major obstacle to a transfer.notes the aroused sports daily. His relatives also assure that the player always had in mind to stay until 2027 when the club offered to extend his contract in May 2021. »
