Is Neymar on the move again?

Neymar's life is that of a footballing rockstar. Since his arrival in Europe, Neymar has no doubt mesmerized the fans of the beautiful game with his tricks, goals, and assists. But still, there's something he needs to rectify... his attitude.

Having completed a record-breaking and probably the most dramatic transfer in history, Neymar may be on the move again. We assess the top 3 possibilities as to where he could end up next season.

#1 Stay at PSG

This is where most experts would put their money on. Neymar was brought in to be the marquee player at Parc des Princes. Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his club dodged several Uefa Fairplay bullets to build a side destined for Champions League glory. Neymar had all his way in Paris as manager Emery refrained from criticising him even when he clashed with Edinson Cavani for penalty duties. He proved too much to handle for Ligue 1 as he scored 19 goals and 13 assists in 20 appearances. At the big stage- the Champions League, Neymar, and PSG fell way short of expectations. the defeat to Madrid was a reminder that the big boys are still a step ahead. Ronaldo outperformed Neymar and Madrid outclassed PSG.

Still, on the basis of performance, Neymar cannot and should not be axed. His attitude though is a different thing altogether. The Parisian fans are tired of his tantrums and some even believe showing him the exit door is the best way forward. After his recent snub of PSG's title win celebrations, many journalists believe that Neymar may try to force his way out. But it's highly unlikely that the owners would let him go.

#2 Real Madrid

Although Zidane refused to comment on the transfer, this story is gaining momentum. According to Goal, Neymar has made it clear he wants to leave and his agent met Florentino Perez on May 13 and then consulted his lawyers to engineer a move to the Bernabeu. It makes a lot of sense for the Blancos to go for Neymar. He is young and his arrival would rattle Barcelona. On the other hand, he would most definitely command another world-record fee and hinder the progress of Asensio and Vazquez. Gareth Bale has also shown great form recently and is surely less of a headache in the dressing room. The move would also mean going down the pecking order from being the star in the PSG side to once again in the shadow of one of the world's best. Neymar left Barca to win the Ballon d'Or. Hence it is imperative for him to lead the line wherever he plays. Therefore it is highly unlikely that Neymar might be on the move, but we said the same last year, didn't we?

#3 Return to Barcelona

According to the Daily Mail, Neymar told PSG just hours before their defeat in the UCL to Real Madrid that he wanted a return to Catalonia. The reporter believed that Neymar cited the lack of quality in Ligue 1 as the main reason. He also admitted missing his former teammates and life back in Spain. Leo Messi also stated that it will be awful if he joins Madrid and sources close to him have many times proclaimed his love for the club and the city in general. The biggest hurdle here would be both the cost of the move. Barcelona have already spent close to €220 million on Coutinho and Dembele and are also leading the race to land Antoine Griezzman from Atletico Madrid. The Frenchman would be relatively cheaper and Barca also need to land a replacement for Andres Iniesta. Neymar was sent a legal notice when he and his father were charged by the club for violating the loyalty clause in his contract. The club also refused to pay his loyalty bonus and Neymar allegedly urged UEFA to take action against his former club. Its this fragile relationship with the board that makes this fairytale move close to impossible.
