[OSEN=노진주 기자] Neymar (31) of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) directly requested a ‘transfer’ to the club.
Foreign media ‘Eurosport’ reported on the 8th (Korean time) that “Neymar hopes to return to Barcelona this summer.”
“Neymar informed PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi that he wanted to leave France for Barcelona. He is planning an amazing comeback,” he added.
Neymar wants to return to Barcelona after six years, where he played from 2013 to 2017. He scored 105 goals and 76 assists in 186 appearances for Barcelona. At PSG, where he has been playing since 2017, he scored a lot of goals while recording fewer appearances. 173 appearances, 118 goals and 77 assists.
Rumors of a Neymar move had been circulating even before the transfer window opened this summer. ‘Eurosport’ said, “PSG planned to release Neymar this summer. However, because of the uncertainty surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s future, PSG turned to Neymar.”
But Neymar thought differently. He wants to go back to Barcelona.
However, it is unclear whether Barcelona, which is suffering from severe financial difficulties, will be able to bring the ‘mogul’ Neymar. ‘Eurosport’ predicted, “It is difficult to see that Barcelona, which has financial problems, will be able to make a deal.”
PSG, which brought Neymar to Barcelona in 2017 by paying 222 million euros (310 billion won), the highest transfer fee at the time, is in a position to never let him go at a ‘cheap price’.
If Neymar leaves PSG, there will be no picture of him cooperating with Lee Kang-in in the next season.
The two exposed a lot of closeness after Lee Kang-in transferred to PSG from Mallorca on the 9th of last month. Even when he visited Korea earlier this month and played a pre-season match against Jeonbuk Hyundai, he stayed by his side and created a ‘bromance’.
