Paris Saint-Germain reportedly offered Manchester City the chance to sign Brazilian forward Neymar this summer.
The 30-year-old’s future was questioned throughout the summer window, with reports claiming that the French giants were willing to offload him before the deadline.
There have also been rumours suggesting that there has been conflict between fellow star attackers Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe regarding Neymar’s future, with the latter allegedly keen to see the Brazilian sold.
Mbappe turned down the chance to join Real Madrid and penned a new three-year contract with PSG earlier this summer, and the 23-year-old now allegedly has a greater say in how the club operates both on and off the pitch.
The summer started with reports rife that Neymar would be forced out of the club. He, however, stayed put and mentioned severally that he had no intention of leaving the club.
The summer transfer window has now closed, but stories of exactly what went on during it continue to emerge.
It has now come to light that Paris Saint-Germain were willing to get rid of Neymar, and even offered him around.
According to Marca, PSG attempted to find potential suitors for the Brazilian and tried to oust Neymar out of the club on Deadline Day to appease Kylian Mbappe.
Pep Guardiola’s side, however, rejected the chance to sign the 30-year-old due to more or less similar issues.
It is understood that City believes that they already have enough superstars at their disposal. Doubts were also cast on Neymar’s ability to be a team player rather than want all the limelight to himself under Guardiola.
Neymar has made an exceptional start to the 2022-23 campaign for the reigning Ligue 1 champions, scoring nine goals and providing six assists in just six games across all competitions.
