Neymar: From Ballon d’Or chasing to getting farmed out on loan after PSG tell him he can leave - The Warm-Up

Wednesday's big stories Neymar shown the PSG door Ad/> RMC, El País and Mundo Deportivo are all reporting that Paris Saint-Germain want shot of Neymar. TransfersNeymar considers PSG exit after comments by club president — reports26/06/2022 AT 14:03 The jettisoning of Neymar is part of a «profound reform» of the Ligue 1 club say Mundo Deportivo, with El País suggesting that Kylian Mbappe's renewal was contingent on a sharpening of professional practices in the French capital. Neymar's lacklustre commitment to training — or as El País call it «his systematic indiscipline» — has been cited as the club's main gripe.

And the player's father was informed of the club's intention in recent days. This news comes after Nasser Al-Khelaifi told Le Parisien last week that «we want players who love the club, who love to fight, who love to win. And we want this mentality to spread throughout the club.» The player himself is said to feel undervalued in Paris, and intends to show the PSG hierarchy that their desire to get rid is an error.

His aim now is to win the Ballon d'Or at another club, El País adds — which, if memory serves correctly, was the reason he left Barcelona in the first place. And that has not gone overly well. Perhaps best to focus on something else.

Training, maybe. Complicating matters, El Pais add, is the player's brutal salary on a contract that runs until 2027. Thus, Neymar may have to leave on loan, with the Paris club set to cover some — read a lot — of his wages.

However, Neymar will not face the ignominy of getting farmed out to a Ligue 2 club. Nope. Chelsea, report Marca, have emerged as a potential destination for the 30-year-old.
