Mercato PSG – Pep Guardiola (Manchetser City) on the Neymar rumor: “I’m sorry but it’s not true”

The rumor made pschitt. While Le Parisien announced that PSG had offered an exchange between Neymar and a Manchester City star, the name of Bernardo Silva was mentioned, Pep Guardiola, in comments relayed by the Times, fiercely denied the information last night. “I’m sorry for Le Parisien, but it’s not truesaid the City coach on a summer tour of the United States. Their information is not correct. Neymar is an incredible player and according to the information I have, he is an incredibly nice guy. But this is not true. Every summer, it is announced that Manchester City will buy 150 players.”

The English champions have already spent 120 million euros this summer for the arrivals of Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips. They have, a priori, no intention of adding Neymar to the list if we are to believe their Catalan technician. “We will see about recruitment. Txiki (ed: Begiristain) and his team observe. He will know what is good for the team.” So it won’t be Neymar. And the options are narrowing for a player whose gigantic salary, which no longer fits with the new reality of the market, eliminates, in fact, a good package of suitors. Good news for the Brazilian who wishes more than anything to stay in Paris.
