Luis Campos, Paris saint Germain football adviser has revealed that the club never nursed the intention of selling Neymar during the transfer window.
If we can recall, Reports circulated at that time, that Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar were going to leave the club during the summer. People linked Messi with Barcelona, and Xavi Hernadez, Barcelona’s head coach had to debunk the rumors. Madrid made an offer for Mbappe which Mbappe rejected and even renewed his contract with the club, Reports came out that Neymar would soon depart from the club.
Speaking on this issue, Campos said that, the Club highly relies on these three players. As last season, Mbappe had to hold the team together, since Messi was just adapting to the club and Neymar was out on injury.
He further said that Neymar is a fantastic player, who is very diligent regardless of what the media has to say about him. Neymar is a big part of the club’s project and they had no intention of selling him.
But when asked whether the Brazil superstar was ever on the way out, Campos said: “No. I even heard that Kylian had demanded that we take Neymar out. No. We count on all three. Last year, Kylian was the best player in the world. Messi was adapting, Neymar was injured and Kylian held the team together. He is a huge player.”
“But Neymar is a very good player, there is no doubt about that. And above all, everything I heard before about him, I must’ve listened wrong because he always arrives on time. I see a Neymar involved in the team project, in the club project.”
