The transfer window has been exhilarating thus far. Lukaku to United, James Rodriguez to Bayern Munich just like that, Arsenal finally signing a world class striker and so much more has happened. Then there are the rumors that add to the excitement and the latest one to grace this crazy town known as the transfer window is Neymar’s proposed €222 million move to PSG. In what could be the summer’s biggest will they-won’t they story, here are 5 reasons why Neymar should consider ditching Barcelona and joining PSG.
He’ll become the most expensive player in history
PSG will have to do more than just smash the transfer record to secure Neymar. Football transfers used to be civilized but now you have to splash at least €50million to get someone decent so €220 for Neymar will be a bargain, to be honest.
Fun fact- He’ll cost more than Messi, Ronaldo and Suarez combined.
He won’t have to share the spotlight with Lionel Messi anymore
A lot of people agree that Neymar has to play in the shadow of Lionel Messi and that he won’t be able to reach his full potential until he steps out of it.
He can go head to head with the world’s best
Neymar can finally show how great he truly is by going directly against Messi and Ronaldo which will be slightly difficult if he plays in the same team as Messi.
PSG’s Brazilian core
PSG has a strong Brazilian core with the likes of Dani Alves (who Neymar has played with before in Barcelona), Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Lucas and Maxwell in their team. Neymar will have no problem fitting in.
Perfect to fill the void left by Zlatan
PSG missed out on the French league title for the first time in years and a lot of it was due to the void left by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Neymar will be an ideal candidate to fill that role.
