Neymar “blocked” by PSG: call to Barça

The 31-year-old Brazilian earns 30 million a season in Paris

Total chaos in Paris. After Messi’s farewell and the mystery over Mbappé’s future, now the Neymar grana has also erupted. As reported by l’Equipe, the 31-year-old Brazilian is reportedly tired of Paris and would dream of a return to Barcelona, the club he played with for four seasons (2013 to 2017).

A dream that is unlikely to become reality. Also according to the French media, Xavi would not be convinced to have Neymar in his squad. The risk that he could destabilize the environment would be too high. Moreover, there is a mere economic issue that seems insurmountable, namely the salary the Brazilian receives in Paris, amounting to 30 million euros per season.

PSG seems untroubled, on the strength of a guaranteed contract until 2027. Less so is Neymar, who seems determined to do anything to leave the French club where he has been playing since the summer of 2017. The relationship with the fans is not optimal and, at 31, Neymar is looking for new stimuli. Barcelona seems impossible, watch out for the Saudi Arabia chance. Neymar is very popular and his arrival in the Saudi Pro League would be another coup for the ambitious Arab league. Whether the Brazilian is already ready to leave European soccer for the rich Saudi Pro League remains to be seen.
