PSG has chosen not to comment on Neymar’s remarks about his time with Lionel Messi, statements in which the Brazilian footballer said he had been through a period he describes as hell. A PSG representative gave guidance to the PSG Report on social media, indicating a preference to maintain discretion and elegance. The management group noted that both stars, Messi and Neymar, prefer to remain at Paris Saint-Germain for the present, underscoring a shared wish to continue with the club.
Both players made moves away from PSG in the 2023 summer transfer window, marking the end of a significant era for the club.
After two seasons in Paris, Messi shifted to Inter Miami, joining a Major League Soccer side and kicking off his new chapter with a memorable free-kick in his first appearance. In the MLS regular season match on September 4, the Miami team defeated Los Angeles 3-1, with Messi contributing two assists that highlighted his ongoing influence in North American football.
Neymar’s path led him to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, with his official presentation taking place on August 19. Transfermarkt notes that the Saudi club completed the acquisition of the Brazilian forward on August 15 for a reported 90 million euros, reflecting a high-profile financial move in the transfer market.
Former French national team star Neymar was visibly emotional when discussing the period at PSG, saying he had lived through hell during his time with the club, a sentiment that drew wide attention from supporters and pundits alike.
