The adventure continues. Neymar to sign four-year contract extension with PSG on Saturday, newspaper says The team. His contract expired in 2022, here he is now engaged with the capital club until 2026.
This signature has been in the pipeline for weeks. Transferred from Barcelona with great fanfare in 2017 for 222 million euros, which in the process became the most expensive player in history, the Brazilian had wanted to return to Catalonia for a while. Notably two years ago. But he subsequently reached the Champions League final in 2020, lost 1-0 to Bayern, and reached the semi-finals this season, as Parisian sporting director Leonardo ruled in February that a new contract was ” on the right track “.
“This is no longer a subject,” the 29-year-old slipped in mid-April after qualifying for the quarter against Bayern Munich. “It is obvious that I feel very comfortable, at home, here at PSG”, he had launched at the microphone of TNT Sports Brazil after the return leg. In almost four years at the club, and despite repeated injuries, he scored 85 goals and provided 51 assists in 112 games.
Mbappé, a much more delicate matter
Parisian leaders can now concentrate all their forces on a much more difficult and delicate matter, that which concerns Mbappé. “We’ve been talking for a long time, everyone knows what we want. Things are clear. We will arrive at the moment – and I think it is soon – to say what is the vision of everyone for the future. We arrive at the moment when we must take a position and a decision. These words, granted by the sporting director Leonardo to France Bleu, date from February 25. Two and a half months later, the club is no further ahead.
The former Monegasque, for the moment free in 2022, has always said that he would take his time. The duration of the proposed contract, the guarantees on the next squad, his role within the club … So many details that will count in the face of the competition offered by Real Madrid. Renewed four years as president of the White House, Florentino Pérez wants to install Mbappé as a new flag bearer, like Zinedine Zidane in 2001 or Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
