Neymar has been the centrepiece of Paris Saint-Germain’s expansion project over the last four years and appears set to commit his future to the club.
In an interview with France Bleu Paris, PSG sporting director Leonardo explained that discussions had gone well with Neymar and that he was hopeful of a new contract being signed soon.
“We are on the right track. The contract is not yet signed. We arrive at a good time with him. The goal is to get to the end as quickly as possible. With Angel Di Maria and Juan Bernat too,” said Leonardo.
“We talked less with [Julian] Draxler who has had fewer opportunities to play in recent years. He is a player who is still important for the club.”
Securing the futures of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, the two stars of the PSG team, are Leonardo’s major focus over the coming months.
Kylian Mbappe was the star man that day, but Neymar remains a key component of PSG’s attempts to establish themselves amongst European football’s elite.
