Definitely, it’s not just the Mbappé saga this summer at Paris Saint-Germain. Today, very clever is the one who can say 100% where Neymar will play this season. At 31, the Brazilian has gone through all the statuses with the Red and Blue. From QSI’s project leader in 2017, he became undesirable six years later. And again, number 10 is far from gone.
Pushed out by Luis Campos, the Auriverde international had to make way for the club’s new star, Kylian Mbappé. But unsurprisingly, no one wanted a player who was regularly injured and whose contract (more than €30 million gross per season until 2027) constitutes an XXL brake for any suitor. And then the situation changed.
Chelsea think of a transfer and more of a loan
Mbappé is currently in a divorce plan with Paris and the arrival of Luis Enrique, a coach who took Neymar to the top at FC Barcelona, could change the situation. Clearly, if PSG loses Messi and Mbappé, not sure that the Brazilian should be separated, especially if a coach he knows well manages to revive him. It is also for this reason that The Parisian announces that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi now prefers his player to stay in the French capital. Except that the daily adds that Chelsea and another club (whose identity has not been filtered) have returned to the news.
And the position of the Blues has changed somewhat. The Londoners have thus surveyed the entourage of the Brazilian in order to find out more about his desires and today, they are now aiming for a transfer and not a loan. Since his arrival at Bridge, Todd Boehly has been very greedy in terms of recruitment (more than €600 million invested), but the American has still not hired the world star of his dreams. In recent months, a Neymar in disgrace at PSG had become an ideal target. And this time, the 2021 European champions seem ready to get down to business. It remains to know the position of the main interested party.
