It seems that Lee Kang-in’s team, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a French professional soccer team, is in the process of parting ways with Brazil’s “superstar” Neymar.
According to the report of RMC Sports, a French sports media outlet, on the 10th, PSG gave Neymar a virtual ‘release notice’.
Head coach Luis Enrique and general manager Luis Campos called in Neymar, Marco Verratti, Renato Sanchez, Hugo Equitique and Juan Bernat to meet five players, and announced that they would not rely on them for the new season.
RMC Sports interpreted, “This means going beyond granting a transfer and urging him to leave the club.”
Previously, there was a local report that Neymar had expressed his desire to leave the club to PSG and return to his ‘parent’, FC Barcelona (Spain).
PSG seem to have decided to let Neymar go ‘cool’, even at the risk of making a big change to the attacking line for the new season.
Neymar and Marco Verratti did not participate in the official Ligue 1 photo shoot schedule on the 9th, boosting the prospect of a transfer.
The two did not work together in team training, but conducted individual training indoors. However, the reason why they trained separately was because they showed mild symptoms of viral infection.
Kylian Mbafe, who has been active as the team’s ‘two-headed carriage’ with Neymar, is also in conflict with the club over the extension of the contract, so major changes are inevitable in PSG’s offensive line for the new season.
Mbappe angered PSG by refusing to extend his contract leaving next summer. He wants to join Real Madrid (Spain) on a free transfer next year.
PSG did not take Mbappe to the Asian tour, and this week, they put him under unprecedented pressure, such as pushing him to ‘release target’ training rather than first-team training.
In the midst of this, striker Gonzalo Hamus, who played for Benfica in Portugal last season, was loaned to PSG.
There is a possibility that Mbappe and Neymar will not play from the opening game of PSG and Lorient’s League 1, which kicks off at 4 am (Korean time) on the 13th.
The scene that Korean football fans have dreamed of, where Lee Kang-in plays on the ground with two stars, Mbappe and Neymar, is highly unlikely to come true.
