PSG open to selling Neymar and keeping Kylian Mbappe

Neymar joined PSG in 2017 and has won five Ligue 1 titles

PSG, want to keep Kylian Mbappe and sell Neymar in the summer window. The Brazilian forward moved to Paris from Barcelona in 2017 for a record-breaking €222 million transfer fee.

Since departing the La Liga heavyweights, he has yet to win the Champions League and has frequently caused controversy in the football community.

Injury has kept Neymar out of games for the French champions in the past, and he always appears to be in the middle of controversy.

The Ligue 1 champions appeared to have found their footing at the beginning of this season, but there have been many trying times since.

PSG will attempt to offload the player in the summer transfer window, notwithstanding his "good performances."

A move for the Brazilian is doubtful because of his extremely high salary and current four-and-a-half-year contract. Any other European club, according to the claim, can afford the cost of his salary.

It would be intriguing to see whether the French side would allow him to depart on a free transfer, given his salary expectations.

The Brazilian forward has previously been linked with a move to Manchester City and Newcastle United, mostly because they have the wealth to afford his wages, while Chelsea are also in the race despite the fact that they are investing in the future. In 27 games this season, the Brazil international has 16 assists in addition to 17 goals.
