Revealing Ney's possible departure

The potential departure of Neymar Jr. is causing a lot of commotion at Barcelona and the footballer still hasn’t made any comments to deny that the deal to take him to PSG is being negotiated. At the same time, various people have popped up to say it’s not happening. It’s understandable because for Barça, seeing how the future of the youngest part of the MSN is up in the air, poses difficulties at several levels: sporting, economic, social… Neymar has adapted and replacing him will be difficult in today’s market and it’s normal that there’s some alarm. While the club will receive the full release fee for “Ney”, they will find themselves in a difficult market where they will be seen as a rich club in an inflated market. Our deputy editor here at SPORT, Albert Masnou, revealed on Monday that Neymar is unsettled at Barça and to explain this is not an attempt to destabilise the club or do damage to anyone, it is simply a statement of fact. After our information was published, other stories appeared backing it up and reports in Brazil say the player has already agreed terms with PSG. Those who accused of us publishing it to attack the team and hide other stories should ask themselves if the problem is not being obsessed with denying that Barça have an unhappy player and that one of the richest clubs in the world is willing to pay him a fortune. To explain that Neymar is looking at other options is not to wish for it, or to encourage it, only to report the news to our readers. The footballer is not lost and the club is working to manage the situation and to stop Neymar’s head being turned too much. There is no better place for him than under Messi’s wing, even if he does want to fly solo.
