The next club Neymar after his imminent departure from Paris Saint Germain remains a mystery. At this moment, the most considered destination is the Barcelona, with even his alleged salary at the Catalan club revealed by a TV programbut there is a “small” snag: Xavi Hernandez. According to information from the Spanish newspaper AS, the Blaugrana coach is not the most enthusiastic about the striker’s arrival because he is a “bad influence”. At the end of this Saturday afternoon, the French portal RMC Sportthe Brazilian star would be being negotiated for the Al-Hilalfrom Saudi Arabia.
Barcelona currently has a diversity of young players in its squad, among them the already consolidated ones. Gavi e Pedri, and the former midfielder is afraid that the off-field behavior of the star player will have a negative impact on the posture of these athletes. The recent injury history does not seem to be a deciding factor in this case, at least that’s what the European media reports.

Neymar has yet to comment on Xavi’s position on his signing, but it’s not likely there will be any “feuds” between the two, as they won the title together. 2014-2015 Champions League and have mutual respect. The midfielder’s opinion, at the moment, seems to be strictly outside his personal field.
It is not new that Brazilians lead a busy life off the field, being a frequent presence at parties or organizing their own. In the country, there is always a debate about him not having matured at the age of 31. For himself, this should not be a reason for criticism, since he remains at his peak for a long time, even with injuries. “You have to charge me with what I do on the field”, said Neymar in 2021 to the channel I was clear in an interview on the subject.
Last weekend, Neymar went to Ibiza, Spain, to participate in a famous ballad. Alongside his father, the player took advantage of the Ushuaia party and met famous people. In February, the French press reported that the player’s neighbors complained about noisy parties at his mansion in Bourgival, a town of 9,000 inhabitants west of Paris. Birthday celebrations and titles extend into the early morning.
In December, a few days after the elimination of the Brazilian team from the World Cup in Qatar, Neymar organized a party at the house of his sister, Rafaella Santos, in the capital of São Paulo. Gabriel Medina, João Gomes, Livinho and MC Daniel were present.
A few months ago, the attacker also announced that he would have a themed cruise between Santos and Búzios. One of the promotional images for the “Ney Ship in High Seas” is accompanied by the phrase “three days of daring and joy on board with one of the greatest football idols.”
Neymar and his off-field life
Injuries, even if they weren’t indicated as a worrying factor for Xavi, also hindered him for much of his career. Since he arrived at PSG in 2017, there have been 12 injuries and about 500 days stopped for treatment. The most recent was an ankle injury against Lille and the need for surgery, which left him out for a few months. At Qatar World Cuphe almost missed the tournament for the same reason and had to play the last matches of the selection Brazilian “in sacrifice”.
Neymar has support from sectors of Barcelona
In addition to the board and its intense search for the striker, there are other sectors that support the hiring, mainly as a replacement for Ousmane Dembele’s, who just left for PSG – the deal would basically be an “exchange” between the institutions. With the squad not currently having many replacement parts in attack, it would add depth to the season that starts this month.
However, Neymar has one more obstacle to his transfer, and not because of him, but because of Barcelona’s financial issues. The club is currently struggling to stay within the rules of the financial fair play and has only 13 athletes registered in the Spanish Championship system; all the reinforcements for the season are not yet on the roster.
Athletes as the steering wheel Ilkay Gundoganwhich arrived free of charge from Manchester Citythe defender Iñígo Martínezex-Athletic Bilbaoe Ronald Araújo, Iñaki Peña e Sergi Roberto, who were already in the team and had their ties renewed, have not yet been registered as athletes for the Catalan club. Therefore, also, the Brazilian’s salary would be reduced in relation to what he earns at PSG.
Strong market competition for Barcelona
Other clubs interested in Neymar in Europe are Chelsea, Newcastle e Manchester Unitedof English football, and Milan, from Italian. the crescent Championship saudi and their millionaire figures are also on the lookout, with the Al-Hilal emerging as a strong candidate. O Championship Americano run outside, since the star has already declared that he has some interest in playing there, in addition to getting closer to his friend Lionel Messi.
