The most expensive professional soccer player in the world apparently has to look for a new club. According to a report, Paris Saint-Germain have told attacking star Neymar that they no longer want to bet on him. However, Neymar’s father had previously denied a possible departure of his son.
A few days before the first league game of the new season, personnel debates at Paris Saint-Germain continue unabated. As the sports newspaper “L’Équipe” reported, coach Luis Enrique and sports director Luis Campos informed four players on Wednesday that the club would no longer bet on them.
In addition to Marco Verratti (30), Hugo Ekitike (21), ex-Bayern professional Juan Bernat (30), Neymar (31) should also have no future with the French soccer champions. The Brazilian international switched from FC Barcelona to PSG in 2017 for the record transfer fee of 222 million euros. According to “L’Équipe”, his contract in Paris, which should bring him 30 million a year, runs until 2027.
However, Neymar’s father only denied his son’s possible departure on Tuesday. “I can’t confirm any news that doesn’t exist,” Neymar da Silva Santos told Premier League Brasil. “L’Équipe” had previously reported that the 31-year-old offensive player had already addressed a change request to the top club. The father then spoke up and described the report as “fake news”.
The transfer poker for superstar Kylian Mbappé also keeps the Parisians busy. The 24-year-old had declared that he did not want to extend his contract with the French capital club, which ran until 2024, and was not on the preparatory trip to Japan and South Korea. According to “L’Équipe”, the French international is now training in Paris with the group of players with whom coach Luis Enrique is no longer planning for the new season. This should also include the German national player Julian Draxler. So it is possible that the club will lose all the big stars this summer. Lionel Messi had previously migrated to Inter Miami.
