What about Neymar Jr? Under contract until 2027, the 31-year-old Brazilian is in the dark, like everyone in Paris while waiting for Kylian Mbappé’s decision. Could he become central again in Luis Enrique’s ‘attacking’ game? “I haven’t spoken to Neymar yet. That’s the kind of thing I’d love to tell you, but it’s inside information. I have to talk to the players first”, had eluded the Spanish technician, last week, during his first press conference as PSG coach. One thing is certain: “Ney” will not return to Barca. On the side of Mundo Deportivo, we assure that his agents have taken the pulse of the Barcelona side. Closed door at Camp Nou, where the operation is considered “economically unfeasible” and where Xavi has, it is said, put his veto, fearing for the balance of the locker room.

The most expensive man in the world (€222m) scored 118 goals and delivered 77 assists in 173 matches with PSG. A priori, he is not willing to leave for Saudi Arabia.
