PSG could let Neymar leave in the summer

The footballing world is split on Neymar. Some think he is having a poor season and others believe he should not be so critiqued. The Brazilian footballer has accustomed himself to the judgement, but the numbers speak the loudest.

The forward finds himself in his worst season yet, marred by injury, as he has only scored seven goals and made five assists. The worst complete seasons he has had in terms of goals were his Santos campaigns when he was 17 and 21 years old. In those seasons, he scored 13 goals.

Neymar still has a few matches this term to at least reach 13 goals and avoid it being his worst season ever. However, this ultimately rests on whether or not he is chosen to compete in the majority of the minutes left this season by his manager.

According to 'AS' and confirmed by 'Telefoot', Neymar is no longer an untouchable player. The Qataris believe that his performances on the pitch do not warrant his salary and they could be eying up his exit.

Neymar is contracted at the club until 2025 but, the Emir of Qatar is not going to get in the way of him leaving should PSG receive a good offer for the player in the next transfer window. 

However the key issue is his salary. The attacker is paid four million euros a month and it does not look like he will want to reduce his pay packet too much for a different club.
