According to transfer reporter JM, Manchester City has restarted their interest in Neymar.
Hearing the news of Paris Saint-Germain's sale of Neymar in June, City quickly contacted the player's agent to inquire about him, but finally gave up the idea of a trade because Neymar's salary was too high.
Now that the team has freed up salary space by selling some of their stars (Sterling + Jesus + Acre for sale), Manchester City has once again ignited interest in Neymar, and Guardiola has always admired the Brazilian international.
Despite the lot of negative news in Neymar in recent years and the exposure of Ligue 1 is not as high as in the rest of the major leagues, the player has always been one of the best attackers in people's minds.
The Brazilian soul is in big trouble at Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with the Ligue 1 giants unable to achieve results in the Champions League, and management has given some management rights to the players in order to leave Mbappe's history.
Neymar's laid-back professional attitude has made the young Mbappe increasingly dissatisfied, and even publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the South American players after gaining support, while the Brazilian superstar has also been put on the shelves by the club.
Because of Guardiola, City's mainstream play now is very similar to barcelona's technical and tactical style, and it is not surprising to see the former Barca boss interested in Neymar.
Guardiola was very bullish on Neymar when he played for Santos, and even said in an interview last year: "When I saw Neymar when I was still in Santos, I asserted that this child was the king of Santos. I'm sure if Neymar had stayed with Barca longer, They would have won two or three more Champions League titles. I hope Neymar can stay stable and not get hurt. I admire him and am happy to play against him and Paris in the semi-finals. ”
This remark affirmed the horror of MSN's offensive combination, but also made a sharp comment on Neymar's ability to resist injuries.
Frequent injuries have led to the Brazilian superstar's performance in Paris Saint-Germain is very unstable, after exposing the news that the club is willing to listen to Neymar's offer, Chairman Nasser made a visit to a sports show, saying that players should do better, pay 200% of the effort for the jersey they wear, and avoid losing the game due to injuries and suspensions.
On July 2, Nasser again responded to Neymar's question.
"Is Neymar part of the team's new competitive plan? I don't want to talk about this publicly because there will be new signings coming in and players leaving, and it's all private negotiations. Neymar is one of the best in the world, he is often injured, but he also contributes a lot and I believe he can continue to contribute. The team relied on him for his first time in the Champions League final, and a new coach is coming, we will wait and see. I hope the team can keep him. ”
Nasser did not say that Neymar was not for sale, and had already expressed a clear attitude.
The new management, led by Campos, is keen to purge players, and Neymar is the biggest fish among them.
Admittedly, Guardiola and Manchester City are interested in him, but the player's on-court revenue of up to 70 million euros requires the Blue Moon to carefully consider.
