PSG to sacrifice Neymar in order to keep Messi and Mbappe

Neymar has a contract at PSG until summer 2025. However, it seems like he could leave a couple of years before his contract expires. 

'Sport' says that PSG are thinking of selling Neymar. The club are willing to let him leave for 100 million euros. 

The club have two priorities: Kylian Mbappe and Leo Messi. The former renewed in May 2022 and PSG are hoping the latter will renew as well because his contract expires in June. 

With the money they would get from Neymar's sale, 'Sport' explains that, as well as saving on his salary, they could be able to persuade Mbappe to stay and also pay Messi big money. 'RMC Sport' reports that the Argentine is about to extend his contract by 12 months until June 2024. That would guarantee them a star studded attack for the next few seasons. 

It is not the first time that PSG have put Neymar up for sale. Last summer, there was also speculation over his departure. Then, Newcastle showed interest in his services, but the Brazilian refused to leave. 

Last summer, PSG asked for 150 million euros for the atracker. Now, that amount would reduce by 50 million. The club are hoping he leaves so they can readjust their wage bill.

Not even Neymar's great stats so far this season would stop him leaving if the right offer came along. Up to now, he has scored 15 goals and provided 12 assists, but that might not be enough to stop him leaving despite the fact he is not very keen on leaving. On other occasions, he has been reluctant to move and he will be the one who has the final say.
