Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar Jr has given indications that he intends to remain with the Ligue 1 side for the 2023/24 football season.
The Brazilian’s future has been a topic of intense speculation during the summer transfer window, with several clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal being mentioned as potential destinations for the 31-year-old.
While reports from FourFourTwo have suggested that Neymar is discontented at PSG, recent developments suggest that he will continue his tenure at Parc des Princes in the foreseeable future.
This news is likely to bring some clarity and relief to PSG and their fans, as they can now count on Neymar’s presence as they aim for success in the upcoming season.
Neymar posted on the social media site Threads, “Party season 23/24”, with a French flag emoji and a picture of a private plane in the background.
Luis Enrique who was appointed as the new manager of PSG was quizzed in his press conference about the Brazilian forward. Enrique, as quoted by The Guardian said:
“I haven’t spoken with Neymar yet. If he should be part of my project? This kind of information I would like to give it to you, but it is part of an internal information.”
Neymar scored 13 goals and assisted 11 in his 20 league appearances for PSG last season.
Neymar, who reportedly turned down a move to Chelsea in 2010 when he was at Brazilian side Santos, still has two years left on his contract at PSG.
The French side still wants to win the Champions League for the first time and after seeing Lionel Messi leave the club this summer for Inter Miami, and Mbappe stalling on signing a new deal, losing Neymar would be a huge blow to take for their silverware ambitions.
Neymar’s transfer key to Felix
Sports Brief has previously reported the immediate future of Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix was hugely dependent on the transfer decision of Neymar Jr.
With the Brazilian now set to stay at the French capital, Felix would look to explore his other options which would include staying at the La Liga club.
