Neymar Excluded From PSG’s Squad Against Nimes
Neymar has been left out of Paris Saint-Germain’s team to play Nimes in their Ligue 1 opener on Sunday amid interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are said to be interested in signing the Brazilian winger this summer, resulting in the French giants excluding him from the team to play their first league game for the season.
Speaking of Neymar’s potential exit from PSG, Leonardo, sporting director of the side told French tabloid L'Equipe that 'Talks are more advanced than before,' though refused to disclose the possible destination for the 27-year-old.
With the transfer window expected to end on September 2 in Spain, a return to the Spanish LaLiga is still possible for Neymar.
The former Barcelona winger scored 23 goals across all competitions, providing thirteen assists for the Parc de Princess club last season.
After completing his staggering €222 million world-record fee to the French Ligue 1 giants, Neymar has won two Ligue 1 titles in addition to the Coupe de France, the Coupe de la Ligue and the Trophee des Champions.
PSG are reportedly fed up with the attitude of Neymar and aiming for European glory this season, the side would prefer to offload the troubled winger to have a discipline side going forward, but a deal is yet to be struck with either Barcelona or Real Madrid.
