A last-minute blow. With intention or without it? After information was published in France about the foot of Neymar based on the statements of the former doctor of PSG, Leonardo has assured that the Brazilian forward is in optimal condition and fully recovered from the fracture of the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. Was this fact meant to expedite the sale of the player? So why is he not playing for PSG?
"Things are simple. Neymar was evaluated by the medical team and the best surgeons in the world at the beginning of the season. His fracture in the fifth metatarsal is healed and the injury is completely resolved," said the sports director of PSG to the media.
However, why did Neymar not play in the Ligue 1 debut? Leonardo has assured that the player known as 'Ney' is a good guy with good background and he is an incredible player, without revealing the intention of the Parisian club and the player himself to leave France in the summer transfer market. If 'Ney' is that player, why is it the right moment to leave?
Leonardo has not confirmed the sale of the player and has only indicated that "there are discussions with other clubs" about his future, so it can be inferred that the Parisians are sending a message in order to not lower the value of the forward of the Brazilian National Team.
Neymar arrived at PSG for 222 million euros two seasons ago and with the sale of jerseys and merchandising, it may be a great business in the French capital, but they still want to recover part of what was invested in him. The offer from Barcelona is the one that comes closest to his economic pretensions and we will find out everything on September 2nd.
