PSG chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, too, was elated with the Brazilian deciding to extend his services to the club for four more seasons. “The core of our ambitious project to grow PSG is the heart, talent and dedication of our players. I am proud that Neymar Jr has reaffirmed his long-term commitment to the PSG family through to 2025 and will continue to delight fans. We are very happy to see him continue as part of our project and to be alongside us for many years to come,” he reckoned.
Neymar’s contract extension in the French capital comes as a surprise to few fans. He was constantly linked to an exit and rumoured to be going back to his former club Barcelona to reunite with his old Barca teammate Lionel Messi. However, since the dust is now settled with his contract extension in Paris, fans expect PSG to go all out for Messi, whose future is uncertain at Camp Nou and has been rumoured for an exit at the end of the season whilst being linked to PSG or Manchester City.
