Barcelona fans will resonate with the Paris Saint-Germain captain…

No team wants to lose their best player. However, sometimes it is for the best. When a player wants to leave their side so desperately, a negative aura is often formed amongst the others in the squad. That said, you can understand why PSG are open to offers with ex-Barcelona forward Neymar.

However, PSG captain Thiago Silva has divided opinion by speaking out against the situation. According to Fox Sports, the Brazilian centre back hopes that Neymar will stay in Paris. He also spoke out to say that he cannot comment on whether or not he will leave but he feels there’s a possibility he can stay.

Neymar is involved in a tussle between three clubs. Real Madrid and Barcelona have been trying to sign him all summer, while Juventus were reported to enter the fray this morning. The safest destination for him would be Barcelona since he has succeeded there before, although there are strengths in the two alternatives as well.

I must make one thing clear: Paris Saint-Germain are far from a one-man team. However, given that their transfer window was not exceptional, they could really do with keeping Neymar at least until the January window.

Their attack is the strongest area for Thomas Tuchel to work with. While he is more than able of working with the likes of Julian Draxler, Angel di Maria, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani, no manager would turn down the opportunity to work with Neymar.

He is one of the best players in the world, any PSG fan would tell you that. His footwork and intelligence make him one of the deadliest wingers in the world. He is a world-class dribbler of the ball and he also has the ability to cut inside.

He would be sorely missed by PSG and it would be a shame to see their project fail. However, they’ve bounced back from worse obstacles in the past so I’m confident they can do so here too should Neymar leave.
