Now orphaned by Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain, will Neymar also leave Ligue 1 to take over the management of an exotic club? Saudi Arabia in dreams.
Absent from the field for several months due to an ankle injury, will Neymar wear the jersey of the French capital club or will he also leave through the back door like Lionel Messi? Nothing is certain, even if the PSG is not against the idea of letting their Brazilian go if a club has the means to get him out of the Parc des Princes. Under contract until 2025, the Brazilian international could therefore experience a restless summer. Arriving at PSG in 2017 at the same time as Kylian Mbappé, Neymar never met the high expectations placed on him by Qatari leaders. It is therefore for this reason that he could pack his bags during the next transfer window. But to go where? The Premier League is often cited without concrete contact, and FC Barcelona has just responded in the negative through its coach Xavi. Perhaps then towards the new Eldorado: Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia wants Neymar
Tracked in the Premier League, Neymar is approaching a departure from PSG. If a return to FC Barcelona was hoped for, the Saudi Arabia track has grown more in recent hours 👀 More info ⬇️ #MercatoPSG

Indeed, according to information from 90Min, the Brazilian is in the sights of the Gulf country. “A delegation representing the Saudi Pro League would have started discussions with the Ile-de-France number 10 to convince him to join Saudi Arabia. She would like to make him one of the new big stars of her championship! », can we read on the site specializing in the transfer window. Failed by FC Barcelona, Neymar could become the new star of the Saudi Pro League alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, who have both succumbed to the financial sirens of the Saudis. No doubt, the financial offer would be largely able to satisfy him in terms of his salary.
Manchester United and Chelsea interested in Neymar?
If all this needs confirmation, the idea of leaving PSG to finally put behind him his physical glitches and criticism, could gain ground. However, he will not necessarily have all the latitude to celebrate on the side of Saudi Arabia if he were to take the plunge. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that Paris will be listening in the event of an offer, wherever it comes from. For Neymar, it will not be easy. The Premier League particularly attracts him. Manchester United and Chelsea, for example, checked the name of Neymar, who could be released by Paris in exchange for a check for 75 million euros. A business opportunity ? The former Santos wonderkid isn’t as much of a dream anymore, but he’s still a big name in world football.
