While the Brazilian was considering a return to FC Barcelona while playing for Paris Saint-Germain five years earlier, the news would not have been to the taste of his prestigious teammate.
Neither Kylian Mbappé nor Neymar will play for PSG next year. However, the two played side by side for many years from 2017 to 2023 before the Brazilian left for Saudi Arabia and Al Hilal where he played very little.
A relationship that is sometimes as close as it is complicated between the two men whose understanding has not always been described as cordial.
And we learn this week in a report from L’Equipe Explore that the French international would not have appreciated that his Brazilian teammate wanted to return to FC Barcelona in 2019, only two years after leaving the Catalan club for Paris.
“You better not leave, you can’t screw us over like that… If you leave, you’re weak,” would have launched Mbappé at Ney if we are to believe the revelations of the documentary.
