Neymar has rejected a summer transfer to Chelsea, according to L’Equipe.
Over the past week, the PSG attacker has been heavily linked with a sensational transfer to Stamford Bridge.
It is understood that PSG have placed Neymar on the transfer list and wish to offload him in the summer.
The Parisians are unhappy with Neymar’s performances on the pitch as he has scored only two goals since the World Cup.
They are also disappointed with his poor attitude and professionalism off the pitch, not to mention his injury record.
Chelsea had taken an interest in the attacker last summer and have been associated with the former Barcelona star once again following a recent call between owner Todd Boehly and PSG.
But L’Equipe reports that Neymar has made it clear he has no intention of joining Chelsea or any other team.
The Brazilian wants to stay at PSG and is determined to see out his contract until 2027 when he will be 35.
And he doesn’t want to leave PSG until the club have won their long-desired Champions League, which has eluded them.
Neymar’s career at PSG
Neymar smashed the world transfer record when PSG paid his €222 million release clause in the summer of 2017 to buy him from Barcelona.
The Brazilian moved to Paris hoping to escape Lionel Messi’s shadow in order to become the best player in the world.
However, the now-31-year-old has failed to live up to his price-tag and has been plagued by injuries and declining form over recent years.
He has since reteamed up with Messi after the Argentine moved to PSG in 2021.
But Messi’s future is also in doubt as his contract expires at the end of the season, although he is in negotiations over a renewal.
