With Leonardo back I don't really know PSG anymore, with Al Khelaifi it was easy to predict the club because he his friend with the players and let them do whatever they want. With Leonardo I suspect that it's going to be different and that he is the reason behind the change of tone, I don't think that PSG will look at a crazy offer but just a good offer when it suits them in term of potential replacement.
I think you overlook:
- his pride: he will only consider great offers, especially because it is impossible to do smart acquisitions when one sells a player at a high and when the names of the interested club is Barcelona or Madrid (these clubs kicked us out in the Champions League several times in the last years°
- the fact that selling Neymar this year would be a very bad signal internally regarding the
Dream Bigger Project and he wants players like Kylian happy.
- the fact that he can't be replaced
- the fact that PSG never lost a top player under contract since 2011 vs Zlatan/Motta/Maxwell/Rabiot/Coman ---> end of contract
- the fact Neymar missed 3 out of 4 most inportant games since he joined the club: 2 against United and 2nd leg against Madrid
The communication has just changed and the message is smart "Sorry Neymar. You want to leave and we respect your choice but we didnt receive a decent offer", a much better message than "Neymar you are our slave so shut up". Leonardo is active at all levels contrary to Henrique.
That said, I believe that Neymar will leave next year IMO.
Stop watching Lequipe21 and read my posts.
