Neymar has lost his magic - Meunier
The PSG star has been heavily criticized after his poor performances in the last two seasons.
's former teammate
Thomas Meunierclaimed that the Brazilian star has lost his magic after five years at
Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona for 222 million euros in August 2017 and was named the most expensive player in history. He played 144 games for the Parisians and won 11 trophies, but failed to win the main scorer for PSG, which was the Champions League. Last year, he extended his contract for 4 years, but it is said that with the presence of Christophe Gaultier, he is close to the exit door. Now Meunier, who has a history of playing with Neymar in PSG, claimed that Neymar is stagnant.
"I have to admit that I was a big fan of Neymar when he was still playing at Barcelona. In Paris, however, he lost his magic, from my point of view.
"The comeback is all about him. If I was 10, I would have had his poster in my room."
Asked about his tenure in Paris, Meunier replied:
"In Paris, I was sidelined by the then sports director [Leonardo] because I didn't want to extend my contract.
"Privately, it wasn't easy to leave Paris, either. My wife, my children and myself, we all loved the city. It was hard to give up. But over time we managed to adapt as a family."
