Neymar does not want to leave PSG
The 31-year-old striker will be out for the rest of the season after having surgery on an ankle injury in Doha, Qatar. There have been many rumors that Neyamr will not play for PSG anymore, because the French club want to liquidate him at the end of the season.
However, Athletic transfer expert David Ornstein insists Neymar does not want to leave as rumored. "The future of Mbappe and Messi will soon be unraveled," he wrote. "Mbappe has to tell the club if he wants to extend for two years and Messi has two options, one is to extend, the other is to leave freely. Neymar's situation is less stressful, because his contract will not expire until 2027. ".
Neymar joined PSG in 2017 after leaving Barca. Up to now, this is still the record deal of world football when it costs the French club $263 million. However, Neymar has not lived up to expectations since moving to the Parc des Princes. Troubles on and off the field prevented him from shining and PSG gradually ran out of hope with Neymar to conquer the Champions League.
The Brazilian forward has won four Ligue 1 titles at PSG, but the French team's number one goal when it comes to bringing him home - winning the Champions League - has yet to materialize. This season, Neymar was absent when PSG stopped in the round of 16, where they lost to Bayern with a total score of 0-3 over two legs.
"Neymar is often associated with his former club Barca or is rumored to move elsewhere. But he remains at PSG and this will continue because the 31-year-old striker wants to end his career there. Regardless of the problems related to In financial terms, Neymar's wish is to spend the last days of his career for PSG, helping them to win more glory, especially in a tournament they have not been able to conquer," Ornstein said.
Neymar has scored 118 goals in 173 appearances for PSG in all competitions. He will be 34 years old in 2026, when the next World Cup is held in Canada, Mexico, the US and his contract with PSG expires a year later, at the age of 35.
