Really? The abject failure in Europe, the constant murmurings of a move back to Spain, the affair with his sister, the partying etc. I’ve read reports that say Neymar views his move to PSG as a mistake. Most of the talk surrounding Neymar is about his commitment and discipline. Totally different to what he was at Barcelona.
That's all possibly true, but my point is he's not irrelevant, and neither is PSG, it's a team that's constantly talked about good or bad, and winning a CL with PSG would be a bigger achievement for him than just adding to the collection of Barcelona or Real Madrid. The fact is, PSG is as good a team as any on paper, and the first season that Neymar is healthy for a knock out stage of the CL, PSG goes through to the next stage despite difficult circumstances in the return leg with the virus. Now, this being PSG and they are cursed in Europe, they're going to have to continue competing in the CL without their league games to warm them up, so it'd be a surprise if they get anywhere again but curses are meant to be broken at some point.
I personally wouldn't have gone to PSG if I was Neymar, but I can understand why it'd get old quickly that everything good at Barcelona is because of Messi and everything bad is because of the rest, even when it's not always the case. And that talk about his commitment and discipline is ridiculous, because he's a very professional player despite what some will say. Whether he wants to be at PSG or not, I've never doubted his commitment when he's on the field, and when he is actually playing, he's the second best offensive player in the world. The way he hunkered down and went about his business after his failed move back to Barcelona shows he's a pro. His problem has been health, as far as the off-the-field incidents, it's the same as it's always been with him but I think a lot of that is overblown.
