A recent publication alleged that Neymar had personally conveyed his desire to PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi to leave the club before the market closes. Subsequently, Chelsea and his former club Barcelona emerged as potential suitors. Nevertheless, Neymar's father has categorically dismissed the news report as inaccurate and unfounded.
"I cannot confirm a news that has not happened, L'Equipe is L'EFake," Neymar da Silva Santos told the PL Brasil channel when questioned on the latest rumors.
In 2017, Neymar completed a transfer from Barcelona to PSG, marking the beginning of his tenure with the French club. Throughout various competitions, he has showcased his talents in 173 appearances for the team, amassing an impressive record of 118 goals and 77 assists.
During the previous season, Neymar contributed significantly to the French champions, netting 18 goals and providing 17 assists in 29 matches. His impact was momentarily hampered by an ankle injury that sidelined him for a portion of the campaign.
While Neymar's contract with PSG extends for another two years, reports suggest that his interactions with certain sections of the club's fanbase have prompted him to contemplate a change of scenery.
In the ongoing summer transfer window, PSG has already experienced the departure of Lionel Messi, who left on a free transfer. Additionally, Kylian Mbappe's potential exit is also being discussed. However, there are indications that Ousmane Dembele could soon join from Barcelona.
Barcelona, the club where Neymar flourished from 2013 to 2017, has reportedly expressed interest in his return. During his previous stint, he showcased exceptional skills, amassing 105 goals and 76 assists in 186 matches. Following Barcelona's 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Joan Gamper Trophy final, the club's manager, Xavi, was questioned about the possibility of Neymar's South American return.
"Neymar? I can't say anything, he is on another team. But the transfer window is open until the end of the month, I can't say anything," said the head coach.
