Luis Enrique tells Neymar and Verratti he is not counting on them

Luis Enrique and Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos have told Neymar and Marco Verratti that they are not in the club's plans for next season, and both were absent from both Tuesday's training session and the official photo shoot, according to 'RMC Sport'.

In addition to the Brazilian striker and the Italian midfielder, three other players have been ruled out: Portugal's Renato Sanches, France's Hugo Ekitike and Spain's Juan Bernat.

PSG had justified the absence of Neymar and Verrati from training by a slight virus, but according to the French sports channel, those five players were summoned by Campos and Luis Enrique to let them know that they do not count for the Parisian club and ask them to look for a new destination.

According to 'RMC Sport', they also failed to attend the official photo shoot for the LFP on Wednesday, in which French striker Kylian Mbappe did not take part, amid the tug-of-war with PSG over his future.

Despite this, another media day is planned after the end of the transfer window, which has been particularly turbulent for PSG this summer.

As for Neymar, the club want to get rid of what was in 2017 the most expensive signing in history, but his departure does not seem easy. Last Monday, 'L'Equipe' reported that Neymar had expressed his desire to be transferred, but the news was later denied by his father.

The 31-year-old injury-prone Brazilian has a four-year contract worth between 30 and 40 million euros each, according to various sources. The future of Mbappe, who maintains his desire to leave at the end of next season, remains stalled despite pressure from the club to force an exit this summer and prevent their star player from leaving for free next season.
