I am sorry but we’re not interested in Neymar – Pep Guardiola
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has rubbished rumours of Brazilian forward Neymar moving to Manchester City from French side Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Earlier this month, a report from a popular French newspaper Le Parisien claimed the Brazilian had been offered to the English champions this summer.
But Guardiola dismissed the claims, saying: “I’m so sorry for Le Parisien but it’s not true. I’m sorry for them because the information they leaked was false.
“Neymar is an incredible player and, with the information I have, an incredibly nice guy. So leave him calm, let him express the huge talent he has in Paris alongside [Lionel] Messi and all the big stars they have.
“But I would say Manchester City every season bought 150 players. It looks like we are interested in all players around the world. You know that is not true. I’m sorry for Neymar, of course!”
Neymar’s present deal expires in 2025, with the player retaining the option to extend for an additional 12 months, and a further year add-on has now come into effect, from the start of July.
But what seems to be a twist in what was widely reported from L’Equipe, is that “The situation has now changed for Neymar, due to existing small print within his multi-million euro contract in the French capital”.
