Brazil Legend Offers Brutal Advise to Neymar That Will Break PSG Hearts

• Neymar has been advised to part ways with PSG to fulfill his lifelong ambition
• But the 31-year-old believes he has unfinished business with the French giants and is bent on staying beyond this season
• He recently underwent a successful surgery following his season-ending ankle injury

Brazil football icon Rivaldo has urged Neymar to consider his future at Paris Saint-Germain if he still nurses ambitions of realizing his Ballon d'Or dreams.

The 2002 World Cup winner urged his compatriot to ditch the French giants for a club with a better potential of winning Europe's premier club competition, which will brighten his chances of winning the coveted individual award.

Neymar actually started the current campaign on a stunning note, directly involved in 20 goal contributions in 14 Ligue 1 appearances, scoring 11 and providing nine assists, per Transfermarkt.

However, his form dipped after the end of the World Cup, which was worsened by a season-ending ankle injury.

PSG have been dumped out of the Champions League to cap Neymar's dwindling fortunes.

But former Barcelona and AC Milan forward Rivaldo believes the preceding events could trigger Neymar to exit the French capital.

"Bad news came again for Neymar with his ankle injury forcing surgery and a long break, which could mean the end of this season for him," Rivaldo said as quoted by Sportskeeda.

"His potential exit from PSG was already being considered, but I think the club's elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League may mean he will leave.

The 50-year-old Brazilian believes Neymar parting ways with PSG might be the best option for both the player and the club.

"I am a fan of Neymar and still think that he can win the Champions League again and claim the Ballon d'Or," the Brazilian legend wrote.

"Signing for a club that is a contender to win the Champions League and has a good structure will help him in his pursuit of these goals.

"But for now, it is time to recover well from his injury and come back stronger, as he vowed to do in his social media message this week."

Neymar keen on PSG stay

While Rivaldo wants Neymar to leave PSG, the player in question believes he has unfinished business at the club and is not willing to leave the French champions even if his close ally Lionel Messi leaves.

Messi has been touted to be on his way out of PSG despite only linking up with his former Barcelona teammate at the Ligue 1 champions in 2021.

According to Goal, Neymar wants to win over his critics and is eager to help deliver long-awaited European glory to PSG by winning the UEFA Champions League.
