Neymar could end up leaving the French champions this summer and PL have been named as a potential destination.
Edmundo talks about Neymar
The Brazilian player was warned against joining Newcastle by former Brazilian footballer Edmundo. Neymar has been linked with leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer, as it was reported in June that the French side was ready to sell him for the right price. The Magpies have been touted as one of the candidates to land the Brazilian striker as they want to compete with top PL teams after they were bought by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.
The ex-Brazilian footballer believes it would be the wrong move for the striker, arguing that Neymar will find it difficult to adapt to life at Newcastle. The former striker said that Newcastle are nouveau riche. Edmundo was in Newcastle, it’s a cold little town. According to Edmundo, if Neymar has difficulty adjusting in Paris, he will not be satisfied in Newcastle. If he gets paid what Neymar earns, he leaves.
But Neymar needs to be focused, focused, even though it’s the year of the World Cup. If he has an equal performance with the last two world championships, will the next coach see him as a pillar for the future?” said the Brazilian.
Asked for his thoughts on Neymar’s performances at Paris Saint-Germain, Edmundo said that it was not a good choice for Neymar to go to Paris Saint-Germain. It was natural that he would earn what Ronaldo and Messi would earn, but over time, in Barcelona. According to Edmundo, Neymar knew he had to move to Paris Saint-Germain for the money. The sports project was spectacular, but the team had more to show than to win.
Where will Neymar be better?
Former Brazilian player Edmundo believes the PL may not be the best division for the ex-Barcelona striker. Instead, Edmundo sees Serie A as the right choice for Neymar, singling out Napoli as the perfect team to join him. Edmundo said that he played for Napoli for half a year, it’s great to live, beautiful, passionate fans. The Brazilian says it would be great, Neymar would do well in Italy.
