Neymar’s claim

At PSG, he is obviously bored. All the players who visit there experience it. He has far too much power.

“Neymar would perform well if placed in a team led by a manager who can manage him, such as one in La Liga or the Premier League. He would enter most Premier League organizations. Let’s do it properly.

He would enter that Chelsea front three, which would refute any claims that Chelsea shouldn’t have him. “.

Prediction of Neymar.

Danny Murphy is of the opinion that Chelsea won’t try to sign Neymar away from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Let’s not forget that he has first-hand experience with Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe, the former Liverpool and Fulham midfielder said on talkSPORT.

“I was fortunate enough to spend some time with Poch in Doha, and he spoke to me about the complexities of that dynamic, particularly when you’re up against teams like Manchester City or Bayern Munich that have strong sides and you need players to defend.

“[Pochettino] needs to make Chelsea more spirited; he needs a team that is spirited, hungry, and tenacious. He won’t put that unity and togetherness at risk by hiring someone like Neymar. “.

Comeback of Joao Felix.

Despite the fact that his loan was not extended and there was little interest in a permanent transfer after his six-month stay, Joao Felix is reportedly open to returning to Chelsea.

Thoughts on the player have not changed for the Blues.
