Hefty pay raise and Luis Enrique: Neymar's demands to stay put at PSG

Bengaluru, March 22: Money is the only color that Neymar sees at the moment. The former Barcelona man was reportedly lured away by a significant pay raise and an opportunity to step off Messi’s shadow in his world record €222million transfer. But with speculations surrounding his uncertain future, the Brazilian star recently has demanded that his weekly salary be £1m.

PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi and sporting director Antero Henrique met with Neymar's representatives last week in Brazil. It is reported they discussed the former Barcelona star's future and also checked in on him as he recovers from his metatarsal injury. Neymar’s dad has discussed his desire to see Neymar as the top earner in world football, with an unassailable lead at top.

Along with this, reports suggest that Neymar has expressed his intention to see Luis Enrique take charge at PSG. Unai Emery is all but set to leave or be sacked this summer with Antonio Conte as his most probable replacement. However, reports suggest that Neymar sees Conte’s tactics too boring to be able to adapt and would like the opportunity to reunite with his treble winning coach at Barcelona.

However, team captain and Neymar's close friend, Thiago Silva would rather see Carlo Ancelotti return to the post. No one knows who PSG will end up hiring for their next shot at winning the Champions League but it is cleasr whether Al Khelaifi will do everything in his power to please the wishes of star player, Neymar to keep him in Paris.
