  • Neymar Jr. appears to be ready for another season with Paris Saint-Germain
  • The Brazilian was ruled out for the 2022/23 season in March after suffering an ankle injury
  • He will be coached by his former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique who was hired to replace Christophe Galtier

Neymar has been spotted in training with Paris Saint-Germain ahead of their second straight preseason tour of Japan.

The Brazil superstar suffered a season-ending injury in March and has been heavily linked with a move away from the club. His teammate Kylian Mbappe is also in a transfer saga that could end dramatically once the summer window closes.

The 31-year-old posted videos of himself doing an individual training program days after the team reported to training. The club later posted a video on Instagram of the team in training, with Neymar also taking part.

PSG will be coached by former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique who was hired to replace Christophe Galtier, who was fired following a disappointing season.

Although they easily won Ligue 1, they had another frustrating season in the Champions League, a competition they've tried to win since Qatar Sports Investments took over a decade ago.

Could Neymar leave PSG?

The former Barcelona winger is valued at around £51million, and with the potential departure of Mbappe, it will be interesting to see if Neymar will stay, per Football London.

Reports emerged this week that Chelsea were interested in signing the Brazil international, who still has two years left on his contract but is reportedly open to a move elsewhere.

Neymar drops hint on his future

Sports Brief earlier reported on Neymar dropping a huge hint on where he will play next season.

Despite reports surfacing of the Brazilian not being happy at PSG, it seems he will stay at Parc des Princes for the foreseeable future.

He posted on the social media site Threads, "Party season 23/24", with a French flag emoji and a picture of a private plane in the background.
