PSG: Olympic Games or Copa America, Neymar’s dilemma

Eager to participate in the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Neymar risks, like Kylian Mbapp, encountering the refusal of Paris Saint-Germain. Unless the striker gives up participating in a Copa America which still lacks its palmars …

Neymar and PSG will have to get back to the negotiating table.

Assuming that we want to form the strongest squad possible, Neymar, who is the flagship player of the A squad and the best Brazilian player in activity, comes into play. (…) For us, that would be an asset of a quality standard.

Brazil U23 coach Andr Jardine sent a message last month by expressing his willingness to call Neymar among the 3 jokers over 23 years old authorized for the Tokyo Olympic Games (July 22-August 7).

Equal treatment

A message which found a favorable response to the principal concerned! The Brazilian media UOL Esporte indeed informs us that the striker of Paris Saint-Germain would have given his agreement to the Brazilian Federation. It remains now to convince his club since the tournament does not take place on FIFA dates and nothing therefore obliges PSG to release the Auriverde.

Moreover, the club of the capital has just blocked its other star, Kylian Mbapp, pre-selected with the team of France Hope for the competition. For the sake of fairness between the members of its workforce, Paris intends to adopt the same position for Colin Dagba and Arnaud Kalimuendo, also present in the pre-list of Bleuets. Despite its status and its recent extension until June 2025, Ney should not therefore expect preferential treatment insofar as PSG seeks to limit the risk of injury.

The Ney will have to choose

The only hope for the Brazilian to participate in the competition would be to accept in return for giving up the Copa America (June 11-July 10), which will be held at the same time as the Euro, in order to allow him to breathe a given moment during summer at the end of a re-emerging season. The former Barcelona had made this choice in 2016 when he flew in Catalonia and sacrificed the Copa America, which allowed him to win the home Olympics.

But this year, the choice seems to have been made given that the Copa still lacks its palm trees. Yet UOL insists on Neymar’s attachment to the Olympics and the striker would have asked his Federation to negotiate as best as possible with PSG in the tournament. hope to succeed. The Olympic competition falling all the same at a very bad time, in full period of recovery for the clubs, the reigning champion of France will he really leave the choice to his star? Nothing is less certain …
