Heartbreak Neymar after the defeat of Paris Saint-Germain by Manchester United
Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar da Silva is preparing to refuse the opportunity to return to his former club Barcelona in order to renew his contract with his French club, according to a report published by the Spanish newspaper “AS”.
The report said that the Brazilian international has backed away from the idea of returning to the Catalan club and will enter into initial negotiations to renew his contract with Saint-Germain.
Press reports had previously said that the player had asked his representatives not to renew his contract with Saint-Germain beyond 2022.
Neymar has been linked to Barcelona in the last 18 months through several press sources from Spain, and the Catalan team has already negotiated his inclusion, but those negotiations were rejected by the French club, who insisted on selling him at the same price he bought for it, 222 million euros.
Paris Saint-Germain wants to renew the contract of its 28-year-old player, but his priority is currently to maintain the services of Kylian Mbappe, especially in light of the great interest from Real Madrid and Liverpool to sign him.
The report indicated that Neymar is seeking to continue with Saint Germain in exchange for the same current salary of 30 million euros, but the club wants to offer only 25 million because the player is approaching the age of 30.
Neymar joined St. Germain from Barcelona after paying the penalty clause in his contract, which is estimated at 222 million euros, making him the most expensive player in history.
The current player’s contract with his team extends until the summer of 2022.
During the current season, Neymar participated in 6 matches in all competitions, during which he scored two goals and scored 4.
