Neymar gives priority to PSG

At the end of the contract in June 2022, Neymar would have in mind to extend with Paris Saint-Germain.

The summer of 2019 already seems far away … Eager to leave PSG at all costs to return to FC Barcelona a little over a year ago, Neymar had finally stayed willy-nilly in the French capital. Since then, water has flowed under the bridges and the Auriverde star feels at home in Paris. To the point of seriously considering extending his contract, which runs until June 2022, with the Ile-de-France training, reports Foot Mercato.

Everything changed during the Final 8 of the Champions League, in Lisbon, during which Thomas Tuchel’s men climbed to the final. On this occasion, the 28-year-old striker would have directly discussed with his president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, to assure him his desire to continue his adventure under the Parisian colors. Thus, the former Barcelonan would like to sign a new 5-year lease, with the current emoluments, namely 36 million euros per year.

If since this episode, negotiations continue between the two parties, “no significant progress has been made”, explains the sports media. In addition, the Parisian sports director Leonardo was working on the other big issue of the Rouge et Bleu: the extension of Kylian Mbappé, also at the end of his contract in June 2022. An operation considered a priority in the upper echelons of the Parisian club, although this is currently delicate.
