The joining of Neymar to Al-Hilal has made Dembele now officially wearing number 10 at PSG and it must be understood that PSG does not want to continue to depend on Neymar and I think this is the right time for PSG to transition to a new player. I heard the news and it seems true that Neymar will get full facilities while joining Al-Hilal and that is a very fantastic offer for a star player. But Neymar must also try to promote and popularize the Saudi league in the future so that it will become more famous throughout the world.

Neymar was an average player in PSG because of his inconsistency caused by injuries, so the club didn't depend on him. I will say that more responsibility was placed on Messi and Mbappe but the latter had more responsibility. I totally agree that Neymar's move to Al-Hilal will bring more attention to the Saudi Pro League but he has much work to do. The SPL will not be that easy for an injury-prone player like Neymar. The league is rugged and soft or non-physical strong players might find it difficult to perform up to expectation. All eyes will be on Al-Hilal because they have invested more than any other club, it seems Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund has a special interest in the club.

Joao Felix is one of Atletico Madrid's young exceptional players, and it still detrimentally impacts me to see such incredible abilities being kept on the bench by Los Colchoneros manager, Diego Simeone. It's obvious that the coach and the Portuguese are at odds with one another, which is one of the reasons he was loaned to EPL team Chelsea but has also fallen out of favor in the eyes of the new manager. The conditions are quite complicated from the player's side, and he will undoubtedly figure out how to leave the club and transfer to a place where he can play regularly in games. Barcelona enters the picture; there's a lot to be gained from the player; let's wait for the ideal loan move, while contracts are being negotiated.

I don't think the reason for the dropping of Joao Felix from the first team of Diego Simeone is because of personal reasons. The truth is that Felix has failed to establish himself as an important player after his record signing from Benfica. He enjoyed a glorious time in the Portuguese league but has failed to replicate the same performance in Spain and Chelsea. I am sure he would have gotten a permanent deal if he had added quality to the Chelsea team. He might be moving to Barcelona on loan but he would not also have an automatic first-team opportunity. Until he improves, Felix will still maintain his current reputation as one of the overhyped and over-estimated players in Europe.
