Neymar: From Paris to Riyadh?

Neymar hasn’t been at his best for PSG in France, owing primarily to injury. PSG is also looking to offload the striker, who joined the club from FC Barcelona.

Previously, it was reported that FC Barcelona was interested in signing the Brazilian star to replace Ousmane Dembele. However, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Neymar is close to joining Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal.

“UPDATE: Neymar Jr deal advancing with Al Hilal and No chance for loan to Barca. As revealed with exclusive news overnight, Neymar is now close to completing a move to Saudi side Al Hilal.” The Italian revealed on Instagram.

“Negotiations are underway also today with parties keen to get the deal done already in the next days. Understand rumours of loan from Al Hilal to Barça are completely wide of mark — pure fantasy, no way. Barça were keen on signing Neymar — but not on loan from Al Hilal as this was never discussed at all”, He continued.

PSG in Talks to Extend Mbappe’s Contract, Barcelona Consider Neymar Transfer

According to ESPN, PSG is in talks to extend Kylian Mbappe’s contract. According to an ESPN article, Barcelona authorities were internally debating Neymar’s prospective summer transfer.

Xavi Hernandez, the manager of Barcelona, didn’t show much interest in re-signing this brazilian magician. During a media interaction in June, Xavi firmly stated that brazilian superstar isn’t part of his plan. A few days ago, people asked Xavi about brazilian superstar again, and he said.

“I can’t say more about Neymar. Last year, I mentioned a player’s name from another team, and that club got angry. We’ll see from now until the end of the market.” This was quoted by the Mirror.

Brazilian magician left Barcelona for PSG for a record cost of roughly 200 million pounds. Before departing Barcelona in 2017, he has 105 goals in 186 outings across all competitions, including the treble. He has played 173 appearances for PSG, scoring 118 goals.
