The reason why Neymar wants to stay at PSG even though Mbappé wants him out

Brazilian attacker, Neymar, assured that he wants to stay at Paris Saint-Germain to fulfill his contract and also the huge expectations of him after PSG signed him in 2017.

"I want to stay at this club. So far, the club hasn't said anything to me. I still have several years left on my contract. Paris has not said anything to me in this regard," said the player in a statement to the French press.

Asked about the criticism he received last season, Neymar said that "people talk too much, and they do it because they can't do anything else." "The truth is that I have nothing to prove. People know me and know how I am and how I play," the Brazilian star insisted.

Neymar has something to prove

And although Mbappé has asked for his exit to get rid of Neymar, PSG face the problem of dealing with a 30-year-old player with a salary of more than €30 million net per year on a contract that expires in 2027. Neymar has not been in his best form since arriving at PSG and the Brazilian is seen with a new motivation, to reach the Champions League with PSG and win the World Cup with Brazil.
