According to early reports, Neymar's transfer speculation was sparked by Brazilian's negative reaction to Nasser Al-Khelaifi's comments. Reportedly, Al-Khelaifi said, "A possible departure of Neymar this summer? What I can tell you is that we expect all players to do a lot more than last season. A lot more! They must all be 100%. Obviously, we weren't good enough to go far."
It is clear to everyone that this message was addressed to Neymar. As the English media reports, Chelsea's new owners have already begun negotiations with Neymar for a transfer. The new owners have enough money for transfers and will do everything possible to further strengthen their team. Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel managed Neymar at PSG for three seasons, so he knows all of his strengths and weaknesses very well. In addition, the "blues" have no permanent left-winger, so Neymar would have virtually no competition there!
Are you sure about this? Maybe it was addressed to Messi who, after his transfer, had the worst season of his career? There are rumors that PSG want to get rid of both Neymar and Messi already, but I would not be sure about Messi since he is part of the promotional campaign for the World Cup held in Qatar. Perhaps after the tournament he will be sold, but not before.
I think it's hard to admit that Neymar and Messi's performances have dropped, because if that's the case I'm sure PSG won't hesitate to sell players. In this case, it seems that Neymar is the only one who gets this treatment and also, some sources say the main problem is about the amount of salary so that Neymar is no longer needed by PSG for next season. Because for me, Neymar's performance is still good but if PSG no longer need him because of his declining performance then that is a good reason to go on loan or sell him. Just can't imagine them confidently making a long-term contract for Neymar with a lot of money, but after Mbappe got a new contract Neymar seems to be no longer respected.
