Man City refused to change Bernardo for Neymar

According to the leading newspaper in France, PSG contacted Man City a few weeks ago. They want to liquidate Neymar this summer despite having contracts until 2027.

However, Man City proved not interested. The Etihad team is said to be given priority to recruiting younger players. This summer, they bought Erling Haaland, Kalvin Philipps and Julian Alvarez, and let Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling leave.

Besides, Pep Guardiola insisted on keeping Bernardo. Last summer, the Portuguese midfielder wanted to leave but then decided to stay. As a result, he contributed greatly to the Premier League championship of Man City, with the ability to hold the impressive play.

In addition to PSG, Barca is also said to be craving for Bernardo but cannot convince Man City to release. The 27 -year -old midfielder is ready for the sixth season at Etihad, where he won nine titles.

Neymar is practicing with PSG in Japan on a 10 -day training trip under the direction of new coach Christophe Galtier. On July 17, the 55 -year -old military leader referred to the PSG leadership to sell Neymar. "Yes, I used to say very well about wanting Neymar to stay. But I recalled, there were many things I could not control in this field," Galtier said.

Last season, Neymar scored only 13 goals, less than half compared to 28 goals in the first season playing in France. PSG leadership is not satisfied with the erratic performance of the Brazilian striker. So far, the amount of $ 263 million they spend to recruit Neymar in 2017 is still a world record.
