“We Have to Listen and Decide” – Neymar Jr in Talks With Champions League Clubs
Neymar Jr’s future is once again making headlines, as his father confirmed that talks with top European clubs are on the table. After a brief return to Santos earlier this year—following a tough injury spell and a terminated contract with Al-Hilal—Neymar’s next move is now up for discussion. His short-term deal with the Brazilian club is almost up, and his camp is exploring new possibilities.
Speaking to L’Equipe, Neymar Sr revealed that they’ll be heading to Miami for meetings with interested clubs. “We have to hear what they have to say and decide what’s best,” he said. While he didn’t name specific teams, he did mention that some of the clubs are currently competing in the Champions League.
According to him, they believe Neymar still has a lot to offer and could have an excellent season ahead. Despite the interest from Europe, Neymar Sr didn’t rule out the possibility of his son staying in Brazil, saying the local football scene is still appealing.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
