Paris Saint-Germain seem to have had enough of Neymar for good. The Parisian side, reported both ‘AS’ and ‘Foot Mercato’, want to get rid of the Brazilian star.
His recent conflicts, especially one with Luis Campos, have put an end to the patience of the French club, who do not want to continue counting on the former Barcelona player.
Neymar was signed for a world record transfer fee of €222 million from Barcelona in the summer of 2017 and he has since recorded 117 goals and 76 assists in 171 games for PSG, but his time in Paris appears to be drawing to a close. The Brazil international has been linked with Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea in the past, but PSG have yet to receive any formal offers for the attacker.
Journalist Santi Aouna claimed that PSG have made the decision to let the Brazilian leave at the end of the season, but that it will be up to the player to decide whether or not to do so.
The reigning Ligue 1 champions have reportedly run out of patience with the Brazilian and are prepared to place him on the transfer list when the summer window opens, according to Foot Mercato.
PSG officials have come to the decision on the back of Neymar’s inconsistent performances since his return from the 2022 World Cup, with his latest outing against Monaco representing a new low. The 31-year-old reportedly slammed his colleagues Vitinha and Hugo Ekitike during the 3-1 defeat and was involved in a verbal altercation with sporting advisor Luis Campos after the match.
It is worth remembering that Neymar is automatically renewed until 2027 and is one of the highest paid players in the squad, so getting him out of Paris will not be easy.
It is not the first time that PSG has considered selling the still most expensive player in the history of football. Last year they tried, but the striker’s contractual situation prevented it.
All this while Messi has still not renewed his contract with the Parisian club. His contract expires in June and the Argentine wants to wait until the end of the season to negotiate.
Both Barcelona and Inter Miami are also awaiting the decision of Paris Saint-Germain’s ’30’, who will be waiting until the end of his contract to make his choice.
Neymar is tied to a contract at Parc des Princes through to 2027, and has previously insisted that he is happy in Paris. However, it has been reported that he has a rocky relationship with another of PSG’s star forwards, Kylian Mbappe, and hasn’t quite been able to live up to expectations during his five-year spell with the club amid question marks over his attitude.
