The footballing world was shaken on Tuesday by a report from Brazilian journalist Marcelo Bechler claiming that Barcelona superstar Neymar has accepted an offer to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer, and now we have more details from Bechler himself.
There are three main factors that attracted Neymar to join PSG this summer. Again, this is all according to the report:
- Ballon D’Or chances. Neymar believes he cannot be recognized as the world’s best player by staying at Barça during Lionel Messi’s prime. There are no problems in the relationship between Neymar and Messi, and the two are very good friends on and off the pitch, but the Brazilian thinks his chances of winning the Ballon D’Or will improve if he moves to PSG and leads the French club to success in Europe.
