Prior to the clash, Neymar scored PSG’s second goal in what ended up being a dramatic 4-3 win, with PSG coming from behind to win the game at the death. Kylian Mbappe drew PSG level in the 87th minute while Lionel Messi won the game for Ligue 1 leaders five minutes into stoppage time.

The same ankle that Neymar damaged during the 2022 World Cup, this is the latest in a string of injury setbacks faced by PSG. Star striker Mbappe returned to the team during the midweek 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League after being injured on February 1. Now, the team faces the prospect of playing the second leg of their Champions League clash against Bayern without another star player.

Following the deterioration of relations between Neymar and PSG, the club’s president Nasser al Khelaifi reportedly met with Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly in Paris earlier in the week to discuss the potential transfer of Neymar to the Premier League club.

Neymar expressed his desire to leave PSG during the last transfer window, however, he was unable to find a club willing to take him on. He remains under contract with the Ligue 1 giants until June 20247 in a deal worth €30 million a year.

Despite his high wage and the longevity of his contract, Neymar has fallen out of favor with the club. As a result, both he and PSG’s owners are on the hunt for a new club for the 31-year-old player.

Prior to Boehly’s interest in Neymar, former Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel expressed his desire to bring Neymar to Stamford Bridge. This time, however, both clubs are making moves to progress the deal, with Al Khelaifi and Boehly meeting in a luxury hotel near the Arc de Triomphe for lunch to discuss the deal as well as the failed transfer of Hakim Ziyech to Paris at the end of the January transfer window.

Neymar and PSG have been in negotiations for several weeks now and they quickly came to the overall terms of the deal. They are currently working on the finer details and the official confirmation is expected in coming days.

Neymar recently hinted at this development during his appearance on French network TF1 over the weekend.

“I am happy today. I am truly happy,” said Neymar. “Things have changed a lot. I can’t exactly explain why. But today, I am feeling good. I have adapted. I am calmer and I am happier. I want to stay at PSG.”

Neymar has been linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain for the better part of the past two years. It seemed that the player was unhappy in France, and a return to Barcelona was looking like a done deal at one point. Media also reported about his clash with the club’s brass, most notably sporting director Leonardo.

However, things changed in recent months, as Neymar and Leonardo improved their relationship. Also, Barca has had financial difficulties due to coronavirus, which made it difficult for them to pull off a deal.

Neymar has played 16 games in all competitions with PSG, scoring 13 goals and adding five assists.

The 27-year-old star was cited by the Parisian club to show up for training on the first day of practice in preparation for the 2019-20 campaign along with the team’s other players that did not participate in summer international tournaments. However, the enigmatic forward was a no-show on the first day of practice, provoking a ominous statement by PSG.

The club’s statement was short and sweet to the point. “Paris Saint-Germain notes that Neymar Jr was not in attendance at the agreed time and place. This was without the club’s prior authorisation. The club regrets this situation and will therefore take appropriate action.”

While Neymar might want out of the French capital, PSG doesn’t plan to tolerate him turning this transfer window into a circus.

Neymar’s family, on the other hand, claims that the club knew that the Brazilian forward wouldn’t show up for practice on Monday due to “commitments” in his home country.

In any case, this saga took another unexpected twist on Monday. It’s clear that while Neymar might want to move on and join his former club in Barcelona this transfer window, his current club won’t be willing to lie down and accept his shenanigans.

The star forward hobbled off of the pitch in Brasilia after coming up lame. He suffered the injury after being tackled by a Qatar defender. The 27-year-old was unable to put any weight on his right ankle, suggesting that the injury could be serious.

Finally, Neymar left the field in tears, causing Brazil fans to fear the worst.

Those fears were confirmed shortly after the match. Brazil’s biggest star will be unable to participate in the national team’s matches in the Copa America, leaving them in a difficult position.

Neymar will have to be replaced by another attacker in the national team’s roster. Some have suggested that young Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior could be his replacement for the tournament.

Neither Brazil nor Neymar has offered any information about just how long this ankle injury will keep him off of the pitch. In any case, Paris Saint-Germain will have its fingers crossed that their biggest star won’t miss too much of the upcoming season.

Brazil kicks off their Copa America run next Friday against Bolivia.
