Psg in chaos, Neymar’s decision displaces everyone

Stars on the run from Paris Saint Germain: last season’s wonder trident could leave en bloc before the Ligue 1 kickoff. After Lionel Messi’s farewell, heading to the United States, and the Arab ownership’s decision to take Kylian Mbappé off the roster, now the Neymar case has deflagrated under the Eiffel Tower: the Brazilian striker according to French media reports has asked for an immediate transfer.

L’Equipe explains that the player told managers last Sunday his intention to leave immediately, despite his contract expiring in 2025. The player earns 30 million euros net per season but is not happy in Paris and is on the rocks with the fans and the team, but his decision has displaced many because only a week ago he had expressed his desire to stay, at least for next season.

Psg tried to offer him to Barcelona, which stalled at the moment given the salary and the unconvinced opinion of coach Xavi. Neymar in May had been harshly protested by fans, who turned up in large numbers under his home urging him to leave.

Neymar, back from a long injury, is unlikely to be available for Saturday’s match against Lorient, valid for the first day of Ligue 1. It’s raining cats and dogs for Luis Enrique, who after Mbappé is likely to do without the other big star currently available. Neymar has scored 118 goals in 173 total games played in a Psg jersey in six seasons.
