Another failure of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League has increased the question marks regarding the future of Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, but as far as the third part of the trio that was supposed to lead the French champions to lift the trophy with the big ears, Neymar, it seems that no dramatic changes are expected. This morning (Monday) “Athletic” reporter David Orenstein reported that the Brazilian intends to end his career at Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar, whose name is mentioned every summer in the context of a comeback to Barcelona or a move to other teams, is signed with the club from the City of Lights until 2027 and is determined to lead the Parisians to greater achievements, especially in the Champions League, which they have not yet been able to win despite the huge financial investment in the players.
The star, who, as I remember, ended the current season due to an ankle injury that forced him to undergo surgery, is aware that few clubs – if any – will be willing to pay the sums that PSG is expected to demand for him, especially after making him the most expensive player in history by activating the His release clause from Barcelona in the amount of 222 million euros, in 2017.
Beyond the cost of his purchase and the financing of his salary, another reason that lowers the visit to Neymar is his tendency to injuries: he has had 20 of them in total since he arrived in Paris, which caused him to miss 90 games in all formats, including the two in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Bayern Munich this season.
