The Brazilian football star, Neymar, has been making hints about his exit from his current club, Paris Saint Germain (PSG). This is not the latest news that star players at Paris Saint-Germain have exited. Neymar himself has a good reputation, and it is being reported that he might want to rejoin Barcelona.
The 31-year-old Brazilian has told PSG of his desire to quit. However, Neymar’s contract with PSG runs until 2027. Despite protestations, PSG’s administration has been informed that Neymar is considering leaving the club. He currently has three years left on his £25 million-a-year contract, which makes his exit a surprise too. It is still unclear if he’s leaping or being pushed. PSG is looking into offers for Neymar, perhaps one of the priciest players in the football world, ranging from £50 million to £80 million, depending on the buyer.
Football Clubs in Saudi Arabia, Brazil, the United States, and Europe all seem likely to make bids for Neymar this summer. Arsenal, who are presently focused on completing a deal for Brentford goalie David Raya, had previously been connected with a bid for him. There were also talks with Chelsea in January. Barcelona is the latest team to be connected with bringing him back to the club. Neymar allegedly came into contact with Barcelona president Joan Laporta over the weekend, according to Football Espana.
Nevertheless, a report also states that while the President is interested in signing him, manager Xavi Hernandez is opposed to the notion. This is because he believes it will disrupt the positive dressing room attitude that he has worked so hard to establish.
Though, with Lionel Messi leaving for Inter Miami in addition to Kylian Mbappe about to depart, the French club is grappling with the number of exits. They are about to face a crisis with the amount of talent leaving the club. Meanwhile, PSG signed Portugal attacker Goncalo Ramos on a season-long loan from Benfica. But for now, Neymar’s next collaboration would be a treat for football fans.
