In addition, the athlete did not play the best of his football, collecting failures in the Champions League. It’s nothing new that PSG dreams of this achievement.
The fact of not having achieved success weighed on the shoulders of the great players. The first to leave was the Argentine Messi, then Neymar.
However, other teams came to probe the transfer of the athlete. Without having entered into an agreement with any, a millionaire proposal reached the Brazilian.
