Paris: It is reported that Brazilian superstar Neymar has decided to stay at French club PSG. Neymar’s new decision comes amid reports that the club may sell the player in the next transfer window. In 2017, Neymar Jr. was bought by PSG from Barcelona for a then record fee. The player played for PSG in 112 matches and scored 82 goals.
With the arrival of French star Kylian Mbappe, Neymar is now only second at the club. The club was also with the French player in the Neymar Mbappe dispute. Recently, PSG started thinking of ways to sell the player after Neymar met with the sporting director. Teams including Chelsea have shown interest in Neymar.
But a French media reports that Neymar’s new decision is to stay at PSG until his contract expires. Neymar, who has a contract until 2027, has decided to leave the club only after winning the Champions League. Even if Neymar’s close friend Lionel Messi leaves PSG at the end of this season, the Brazilian superstar has decided to stay at the club.

Thanks to Neymar, PSG reached the Champions League final once but failed to win the title. But this time the team has high hopes. But losing to Bayern by one goal in the first leg of the pre-quarter at home is a blow to PSG’s Champions League hopes. PSG can reach the quarter if they win by two goals in the second quarter at Bayern’s ground.
It is also to be seen if PSG will allow Neymar to remain in the club after Mbappe is not able to win the title in the Champions League this time as well. There were reports that Mbappe had put forward conditions including the need to sell Neymar to renew the contract.
