Mercato: the Neymar case can pose big problems for PSG

PSG has decided to divorce its stars this summer. Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos, at the end of the contract, were not retained at the end of the season. Kylian Mbappé was sent to the loft for refusing to extend his lease beyond June 2024. Marco Verratti and Neymar, they learned yesterday from the mouths of Luis Campos and Luis Enrique that they do not are not part of the club’s plans for the 2023-24 season. For the Brazilian, it was not really a surprise.

PSG no longer want Neymar

On Sunday, he asked to leave the French club. Information denied by his entourage but that we can confirm to you. For several weeks, the Neymar clan has been looking for a way out. The player, touched by the treatment of the supporters, wants a change of scenery and start off on the right foot. MLS and the Premier League have tested the waters. But the 31-year-old footballer hopes to return to FC Barcelona.

But the Culés are divided about him and especially do not have the financial means to repatriate him. A solution exists, however, since he could be bought by Al-Hilal before being loaned to Barça for a season. A solution that would suit almost everyone since the Saudis want the player now. Anyway, all the contenders for the arrival of Ney will have to get along with PSG.

Too risky termination

This will go through a transfer or a loan with a compulsory purchase option. Indeed, the Brazilian press yesterday raised the possibility of terminating the contract of the international Auriverde. But that is obviously not possible according to Mundo Deportivo. The Catalan media explains that PSG would take very big risks and expose themselves to terrible penalties since Neymar extended his contract last year until June 2027.

He is currently within the two-year protection period for players over the age of 28 established by FIFA. In the event of terminations, PSG could be banned from recruiting for two consecutive transfer windows. Neymar can therefore only leave PSG by being transferred or on loan. The Brazilian and his club will therefore have to agree for him to leave without causing any problems.
