"These are things that make me believe even more in this great project. I have grown as a person here, as a human being and as a player, too. So I am very happy to extend my contract and I hope to win many more trophies here," the Brazilian concluded. 

The 29 year-old Brazilian has been at the club since 2017 when he moved from Barcelona. He has made 112 appearances, scored 85 goals and got 44 assists.

The PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi could not hide his delight at the news: “The core of our ambitious project to grow PSG is the heart, talent and dedication of our players I am proud that Neymar Jr has reaffirmed his long-term commitment to the PSG family through to 2025, and will continue to delight fans. We are very happy to see him continue as part of our project and to be alongside us for many years to come.”
