Neymar next club odds: PSG stay likely as Chelsea boss Pochettino turns down reunion
NEYMAR'S future looks set to be at PSG beyond this summer.
That's certainly the view of bookmakers Sky Bet anyway, who make the Brazilian an 8/11 shot to remain in the French capital beyond this summer.
SKY BET:
Neymar has scored 118 goals in 173 PSG appearances since his near-£200million move back in 2017, which remains the largest transfer in football history.
But he sent shockwaves through European football yesterday when allegedly advising PSG he wanted to leave the club.
That was debunked by his father later that day as "fake news", though it's not the first time this has been circulating.
His relationship with the fans has always been fractious, from booing when he scored last season, to writing 'Neymar Out' previously when he was understood to be angling for a move away.
A group of fans then protested outside his house last season, as a section of supporters turned on him and Lionel Messi when the Argentinian was suspended by the club.
Neymar next club odds
Sky Bet odds
- Stay at PSG 8/11
- Chelsea 3/1
- Any MLS club 6/1
- Barcelona 6/1
- Any Saudi side 12/1
- Manchester United 25/1
SKY BET:
Messi has since left for the US, while Kylian Mbappe remains an outcast as he enters the final year of his deal.
Yet despite all of that, and the reported request to leave this summer, he's still odds-on to remain with two years left on his contract.
Mauricio Pochettino worked with Neymar during his spell at the club and seemed a logical fit, only for Poch to rule out a move for the forward.
They're still 3/1 to sign him this summer and it's 6/1 he follows Messi to the MLS.
It's also 6/1 that he heads back to Barcelona - understood to be his preference, while it's 12/1 for a move to Saudi Arabia and 25/1 for Manchester United.
