Neymar is very close to signing with Saudi Al-Hilal. As RMCsports announced at dawn this Saturday and La Vanguardia was able to confirm from sources around the Brazilian, the footballer has been tempted with a great financial offer. With this movement Neymar moves away from FC Barcelona since the same sources deny a possible assignment.
Neither Luis Enrique nor PSG have Neymar. The 31-year-old Brazilian with a contract until 2025, was one of the coach’s discards in PSG’s league debut at Parque de Los Príncipes. With Neymar ruled out, Messi in Miami and Mbappé punished in the stands watching the game with the recently signed Dembéle, PSG drew 0-0 against Lorient.
But Kylian Mbappé has managed to reverse his situation. The Parisian club reported that “after very constructive and positive talks between Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappé before the PSG-Lorient game on Saturday, August 12, the player rejoined the first training squad this morning.”
Mbappé, 24 years old and captain of the French team, had been training with the team’s discards and did not travel to Asia for PSG’s summer tour, as a result of the pulse he maintains with the club’s board about his future with Real Madrid on the horizon.
The conflict between both parties began when the intention of the great star of the team not to activate the renewal for one more year, optional in his present contract, which would end at the end of this season, came to light. This would mean that at the end of the contract Mbappé would be free to go to another club for free, something that the PSG Qatari board of directors seeks to avoid at all costs.
Mbappé wants to end up playing for Real Madrid and Neymar wanted to return to Barcelona. The 31-year-old striker who left in 2017 paying the clause of 222 million euros offered himself to the Barcelona club again, which seriously meditated the incorporation of him as long as it is as a free agent or on loan. Before, Neymar had to terminate his contract with PSG and adapt to the economic conditions of the Barcelona entity, a situation that PSG did not value.
In case of incorporating him, the club offered him a short bond of one year with the option of another one so that he gains the trust of Xavi Hernández. The coach is not in favor of the return of the Brazilian and has communicated this to the president Joan Laporta every time Neymar has applied to return.
However, Neymar is liked by the club’s top president who considers that his arrival would encourage the presence of more Barcelona members and fans on Montjuïc. But everything indicates that the striker will end up in Arabia. Although the transfer market is long, the Saudi club, together with the footballer’s representatives, rule out that the Brazilian ends up on loan at the Barcelona club.
