PSG are said to plan without Neymar
A few days ago there had already been reports that PSG were planning for the coming season without Neymar. However, Neymar’s father only denied his son’s possible departure on Tuesday. “I can’t confirm any news that doesn’t exist,” Neymar da Silva Santos told Premier League Brasil. “L’Équipe” had previously reported that the attacking star had already addressed a change request to the top French club. The father then spoke up and described the report as “fake news”.
Neymar joined Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in 2017. The transfer fee at the time was a record 222 million euros.
