For the start of the championship, PSG coach Luis Enrique has decided to do without Neymar for the reception of FC Lorient. The player has reacted.

PSG Transfer Market: Neymar Pushed Towards Exit by Paris SG

Paris Saint-Germain will host FC Lorient this Saturday evening (9 PM) for the opening match of Ligue 1. Decisive in the last match of the summer tour in South Korea, Neymar is not part of Luis Enrique‘s squad that will face the Merlus. Suffering from a “viral syndrome” and having stayed indoors this Friday, the 31-year-old attacking midfielder will therefore not be at Parc des Princes with his teammates for this restart. But according to certain sources close to the capital club, the official reason for Neymar‘s absence seems less convincing, as the successor to Christophe Galtier has also decided to do without Marco Verratti for this match.

According to Le Parisien, Team, and several other media outlets, the two players are being pushed towards an exit by the PSG management. Indeed, through the words of their coach Luis Enrique and Luis Campos, the sporting advisor, the French champions reportedly informed several players, including Neymar and Verratti, on Wednesday that they wouldn’t be counted on for this season. After the squad announcement for the match against FC Lorient, the former FC Barcelona player posted a perplexing message on social media.

Neymar sends a mysterious message about his future at PSG.

Very active during this summer transfer window, with ten signings already recorded, Paris Saint-Germain seems determined to turn the page on MNM (Messi, Neymar, Mbappé). Following Lionel Messi‘s departure to Inter Miami, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar might also leave the ranks of the Rouge et Bleu by August 31st. Now sidelined from the first team, the Brazilian star posted a video on his Instagram account.

In the video, PSG’s number 10 is in the club’s gym with Bob Marley’s song “Three Little Birds” playing in the background, with strong lyrics: “Don’t worry about a thing, ’cause every little thing gonna be alright.” The question now remains about how the Neymar saga will conclude. According to the latest news from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Marquinhos’ compatriot has reportedly resolved to leave PSG and there would be no turning back. His priority would be to return to Barcelona.
