The UEFA Champions League continues to elude Paris Saint-Germain. With Lionel Messi and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a> gone, the French side hoped building around Kylian Mbappe could pay off, but it once again fell short from the ultimate goal.



This time, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> were beaten by Borussia Dortmund in the semifinals as a lackluster <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/with-messi-gone-french-media-now-slams-mbappe-over-psgs-champions-league-exit">Mbappe failed to put the team on his back</a> to reach the grand final at Wembley. Now that the Frenchman looks set to leave as a free agent, it’s inevitable to think about all the money invested by the club only to have zero <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> titles to show for it.



According to Front Office Sports, Paris Saint-Germain have spent $1.2 billion in total for Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. Let’s take a look at how this breaks down for each star.



<h2>How much PSG spent on Mbappe</h2>



It’s safe to say <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> is one of the biggest projects PSG have had since the Qatari takeover in 2011. In fact, the club reportedly spent $574 million in total for the French player.

After landing the player on loan in 2017, the Parisians made Mbappe’s move permanent in 2018 by forking out $194 million to get him from Monaco. Then, the striker went on to make $80m in his first deal.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/with-messi-gone-french-media-now-slams-mbappe-over-psgs-champions-league-exit"></div>


In the summer of 2022, PSG persuaded Mbappe to stay by handing him an extension worth $235 million, along with a $65 million bonus. Now, the 25-year-old is expected to leave for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> as a free agent.

<h2>How much PSG spent on Messi</h2>



Paris Saint-Germain pulled off a blockbuster move by landing coveted free agent Lionel Messi in the summer of 2021. Shortly before that, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> shockingly announced they were unable to keep the Argentine star due to LaLiga’s salary cap rules.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240508_BUS_124799_Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-1024x576_73e7f89c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Lionel Messi at PSG" class="wp-image-77373" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Lionel Messi during a game with PSG.</figcaption></figure>



Ironically, one of the wealthiest clubs on Earth managed to sign arguably the world’s best player for nothing. PSG had to offer Messi a lucrative salary though, with the 8x Ballon d’Or winner reportedly making $72 million in his two years in the French capital.

<h2>How much PSG spent on Neymar</h2>



PSG showed off all their financial power in 2017, when they landed Neymar from Barcelona in a world-record $239 million move, which remains the most expensive transfer in soccer history.



But the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ligue-1">Ligue 1</a> side went on to invest even more money on the Brazilian superstar, spending $217 million in his first contract. The Santos product agreed to an extension worth $122m in 2021, increasing PSG’s total spending on Ney to an astonishing $578 million.

What will become of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neymar</a>? The 32-year-old has only 1 more year remaining on his Al- Hilal contract which ends in June of 2025. Much has been made of Neymar’s reported little desire to stay very long in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saudi Pro League</a>.



Neymar was only able to play 3 matches for Al- Hilal scoring only 1 goal before a devastating ACL injury during a World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay put him out of action.



After <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/neymars-luxury-cruise-slammed-on-social-media-and-confirmation-of-tragedy-on-board-20240105-BUS-96107.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">boat trips</a>, Miami, and returning to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brazil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brazil</a>, it seems Neymar wants to be anywhere but Saudi Arabia. Upon an emotional return to Brazil a report indicates that Neymar may drop a hint about his future.



<h2>Neymar hints he may return to his first love Santos</h2>



Neymar during a pre-game ceremony walked out to Estadio Urbano Caldeira’s field holding and presenting the Paulista cup, the state championship where his first club Santos competes in.

In the first leg of the final Santos defeated Palmeiras 1-0 with the return leg set for next Sunday. According to UOL Esporte, Gabriela Arantes Brino reported that Neymar informed the players and staff of Santos that “he would return to the club in 2025”. 



At Santos, Neymar became a club legend, playing four years and scoring 136 goals in 225 matches, winning six championships including the Copa Libertadores and Recopa Sudamericana. Neymar would then transfer to FC Barcelona beginning his adventure abroad.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a> was supposed to be one of the biggest stars of Al Hilal in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league">Saudi Pro League</a>. However, injuries have derailed the next stage of his career after a shocking transfer from PSG.



The Brazilian player is still only 32-years old and, although he chose money instead competitiveness at the club level, that doesn’t mean his quest for trophies has ended with the national team.



Right now, the 2024 Copa America is not an option for Neymar due to a big knee injury but, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">World Cup</a> in 2026 should be his greatest chance to finally give his country a victory on that event. He might even fight one last time against historic rivals like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>.

<h2>Why is Neymar not playing for Brazil vs Spain?</h2>



Neymar&nbsp;will not play for&nbsp;Brazil&nbsp;against&nbsp;Spain&nbsp;in an International Friendly at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu because he is still recovering from the left knee injury suffered last October during a World Cup qualifier at Uruguay.







Furthermore, Brazil’s medical staff confirmed a few days ago that it’s almost impossible for Ney to play in the 2024 Copa America. His return is expected for the start of the 2024-2025 Saudi Pro League in August. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240302#BUS#108638"></div>


Of course, if Neymar makes a full recovery, he should lead Brazil in the 2026 World Cup which will be played in Mexico, the United States and Canada.

Why was Neymar not called up to play for Brazil vs England and Spain?

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a> continues his recovery from a serious knee injury that occurred in October 2023 during a match against Uruguay in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">World Cup</a> qualifiers. The Brazilian star was the major signing for Al Hilal in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a>, but he has barely been able to play for his new team.



The rehabilitation process will make him miss the 2024 Copa America in the United States, so the player will have to wait until practically August for his official return towards the next season of the Saudi Pro League.



However, being away from the playing field, Neymar has had time to focus on other projects and attend special events. For instance, a few weeks ago, he was at the Bahrain Grand Prix where he confirmed his desire to play with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>.



Now, a new adventure is ready for Ney as it has been confirmed that he will participate in the renowned <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kings-league">Kings League</a>, a project that has been promoted globally by Gerard Pique.

<h2>Neymar will be in the Kings League</h2>



The Kings League will have its first World Cup in 2024 and Mexico was selected as the official venue. 32 teams will try to hoist the trophy: 10 from Kings League Spain, 10 from Kings League Americas and 12 guests teams from around the globe.









The tournament organizers have confirmed the presence of Neymar, who, alongside the Brazilian legend of Futsal, Falcao, will be the president of one of the teams: Furia FC.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240302#BUS#108638"></div>




Furthermore, Allan Rodrigues, the famous streamer O Estagiario, will be a third president of Furia FC working with Neymar and Falcao. It’s important to remember that the event is scheduled from May 26th to June 9th.



The Kings League even joked about Neymar joining the tournament with a photo of the Brazilian player alongside Gerard Pique. It came with the famous phrase the Spanish defender used when Ney was supposed to stay in Barcelona after receiving an offer from PSG. “He stays.”

Raphinha was one of the most significant signings in Barcelona’s history when the Spanish club decided to pay around $60 million to Leeds United to complete the transfer from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league">Premier League</a> to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/la-liga">La Liga</a>.



Thus, the midfielder joined an extraordinary list of Brazilian stars who have played for Barcelona such as Ronaldo, Romario, Ronaldinho or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a>. All of them left an impressive legacy for the Catalan team.



Now, in a great homage to his idols, Raphinha decided to make a very particular gesture during Barcelona’s official photo for the 2023-2024 season. The image has already gone viral worldwide.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240307_BUS_109748_raphinhagesture-1024x576_62d20683.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-109756" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080958/raphinhagesture-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080958/raphinhagesture-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080958/raphinhagesture-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080958/raphinhagesture-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080958/raphinhagesture.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Raphinha made a famous gesture with FC Barcelona (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Raphinha makes famous gesture with FC Barcelona</h2>



This week, FC Barcelona released the official photo of the squad for the 2023-24 season. A gesture from Raphinha immediately caught huge attention on social media as it was a clear message to other legends of the club.


 

 


A few years ago, during different official photos, Ronaldinho made that pose with his hands and was later replied by other stars such as Neymar or even Gerard Pique. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240302#BUS#108638"></div>


According to many reports, the gesture of Raphinha is clearly a tribute to his idol, Ronaldinho, who started that trend during the official photo of the club almost two decades ago. Now, it seems to be a new tradition.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> formed a legendary partnership with Barcelona for four years, winning everything. Of course, it was all part of the wonderful MSN alongside Luis Suarez.



However, the Brazilian star surprised the world in 2017 when he changed that great dynamic for a historic contract with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a>. The French team paid a record-breaking fee of $200 million to bring him to France.



A few years later, Barcelona couldn’t retain Messi, and their paths crossed again at Paris Saint-Germain in 2021. They were supposed to form the most dominant club in Europe with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a>. It turned out to be a complete failure.



Messi only lasted two years in Paris and embarked on a new adventure with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> in the MLS. Meanwhile, especially due to injuries, Neymar also grew weary of PSG and signed with Al Hilal in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a>.

<h2>Neymar want to play with Lionel Messi</h2>



Now, even though they are thousands of kilometers apart, Neymar has opened a door that seemed closed. During an interview with ESPN at the GP of Bahrain, the Brazilian acknowledged that he would like to play again with his great friend.







“I hope we can play together again. Leo is a great person. Everyone knows him. I think he’s very happy, and if he’s happy, I am too”.

Currently, Neymar is recovering from a serious knee injury, and his return is scheduled for next season. In fact, he will miss the 2024 Copa America with Brazil.



In the hypothetical scenario that Neymar wanted to play with the Argentine legend, Ney would become a free agent in the summer of 2025. Although it seems quite complicated, the option of him joining Messi and Luis Suarez is not impossible.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a> is giving a lot to talk about for liking an Instagram post that calls out <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> and Paris Saint-Germain. The Brazilian reacted to a post by “jogadaensaaiada” which criticizes the Frenchman’s control at the Parc des Princes with a series of images.



“No player should be bigger than an institution,” the caption reads. The first picture introduces the topic by ironically describing “an example of management in soccer” by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a>, with images of Mbappe and club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi after the Frenchman signed a new deal in 2022.



The post recalls how the Ligue 1 outfit assembled a star-studded team by recruiting the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and Sergio Ramos in 2021. By then, Neymar and Mbappe were already at the club. But the following image already talks about the “ego of a certain Frenchman” started to “damage the atmosphere” at the team.



It continues by claiming that Mbappe felt uncomfortable with most of the squad speaking Spanish, which is why he “threatened” to leave the club. The post adds that the club consequently got rid of those who “didn’t align to Mbappe’s ideas” and landed fellow French players wanted by the striker. The carousel ends with the news that Mbappe <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/luis-enrique-takes-a-subtle-shot-at-kylian-mbappe-for-leaving-psg-20240216-BUS-105395.html">reportedly told PSG he’ll leave</a> in July, which is a clear jab at the 25-year-old.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="532" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240219_BUS_106018_image-3-1024x532_b37056e2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=532" alt="" class="wp-image-106020" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/image-3-1024x532.png 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/image-3-300x156.png 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/image-3-768x399.png 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/image-3.png 1468w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></figure>



Needless to say, those are strong accusations, but it’s quite the story in world soccer nowadays. Neymar’s like makes noise regardless, as he spent six seasons in the French capital next to Mbappe. The pair seemed to have their issues last year, with the Brazilian eventually packing his bags along with other PSG players ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230814#BUS#46111"></div>


<h2>Neymar already suggested having bad blood with Mbappe</h2>



Either way, this is not the first time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mbappe-and-neymar-stay-together-at-psg-for-one-reason-only-20220930-0010.html">issues between Neymar and Mbappe</a> go public. The problems started to come to surface in the 2022-23 season, with the players in question fighting over who should take penalties.



The Brazilian took the ball in a game against Montpellier in August 2022 after Mbappe missed a spot-kick, and he later sparked controversy by liking a tweet criticizing the French superstar.



Christophe Galtier, by then PSG coach, and Al-Khelaifi denied any problems between Neymar and Mbappe, but the former Barcelona winger’s social media activity has suggested otherwise.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230903#BUS#56673"></div>


In August 2023, Neymar liked an Instagram post by “fiqueiputomesmo_” claiming that Mbappe forced PSG to move on from the Brazilian in the summer. “Last summer, Kylian Mbappé made it clear to PSG that there was no more room for him and Neymar in the same team. Coincidentally, on the day Neymar was practically announced at Al-Hilal, Mbappé returned to training super happy,” the caption read.

The soccer landscape has changed with the emergence of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league">Saudi Pro League</a> as a new destination for world-class players. Now, it looks like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-ittihad">Al-Ittihad</a> are willing to go even further by making the most expensive signing of all time, breaking the record set by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a>‘s move from Barcelona to PSG in 2017.



According to The Athletic, the Saudi Arabian outfit is willing to offer an astonishing €235 million to land Liverpool superstar <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mohamed-salah">Mohamed Salah</a> next season. That would make the Egypt international the most expensive player in soccer history.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">Paris Saint-Germain</a> currently hold the record by forking out €222 million for the Brazilian star, who went on to spend six seasons at the Parc des Princes. In the summer of 2023, Ney joined the list of stars who took their talents to the Middle East by signing for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-hilal">Al-Hilal</a>.



That group includes <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/karim-benzema">Karim Benzema</a>, who left Real Madrid as a free agent to sign for Al-Ittihad <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/karim-benzemas-salary-at-al-ittihad-how-much-he-makes-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20230606-BUS-6714.html">at the beginning of the season</a>. The Frenchman, however, is not going through the best of times at the club, as his relationship with coach Marcelo Gallardo <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/karim-benzema-was-excluded-from-al-ittihads-preseason-20240114-BUS-97857.html">looks strained</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240213_BUS_104546_Salah-3-1024x576_1ff389e2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Mohamed Salah of Liverpool looks on during the Premier League match between Burnley FC and Liverpool FC at Turf Moor on December 26, 2023 in Burnley, England." class="wp-image-104562" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Salah-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Salah-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Salah-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Salah-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Salah-3.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Mohamed Salah of Liverpool looks on during the Premier League match between Burnley FC and Liverpool FC at Turf Moor on December 26, 2023 in Burnley, England.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Al-Ittihad already making plans for next season</h2>



With Benzema’s future at the club unclear and the team doing worse than predicted in the domestic league, Al-Ittihad’s intention of signing Salah may be part of a bigger plan to bounce back next year.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240207#BUS#102985"></div>


Right now, Gallardo’s team is fifth in the Saudi Pro League with 31 points, 22 shy of leaders Al-Hilal. While the local title race looks difficult, Al-Ittihad are still alive in the AFC Champions League, where they’ll play Navbahor Namangan in the round of 16.



Apart from Benzema, their squad already boasts big names such as N’Golo Kante, Fabinho, Luiz Felipe and Jota. Therefore, landing a player of Salah’s caliber could be an even bigger boost for the club.



The winger, who turns 32 in June, will be playing on an expiring contract next season. Liverpool are expected to try and tie him down to an extension, as Salah continues to play at a fantastic level. This season, he boasts an impressive 14 goals and eight assists in 20 Premier League games. But only time will tell if the player wants to extend his stay at Anfield.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a> has accepted a long time ago that he will always have a fair share of critics regardless of what he does. That doesn’t mean, however, that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-hilal">Al-Hilal</a> star will never react to hurtful comments they make about him.



The 31-year-old has recently taken to social media to hit back at those who have criticized his fitness, as some pictures of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brazil">Brazilian</a> during his recovery from a knee injury made it look like he put on some weight.



Ney noticed the comments about his body, which is why he dedicated a message to his critics: “Today’s training session finished. Overweight ok, but fat? I don’t think so (hahaha). S*** it, haters,” he said on an Instagram story.



<h2>Neymar is still months away from coming back</h2>



Neymar is recovering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left leg sustained in October, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-neymar-leaves-the-field-in-tears-after-suffering-scary-injury-20231018-BUS-77037.html">during Brazil’s 2-0 loss to Uruguay</a> in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

That injury kept the Brazilian star from the sidelines since then, and it will make him <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/neymar-receives-terrible-injury-update-ahead-of-2024-copa-america-20231220-BUS-93259.html">miss the 2024 Copa America.</a> There is not a return date confirmed for Neymar yet, as his progress will determine his potential availability.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240105#BUS#96169"></div>


Neymar only got to make five appearances for Al-Hilal before the injury, recording one goal and three assists. The team managed to do well despite his absence, as it leads the Saudi Pro League standings with 53 points, seven clear of Al-Nassr.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dani-alves">Dani Alves</a> has been in prison for almost a year now, as he’s been in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Dani-Alves-to-remain-in-jail-after-bid-for-release-rejected-20230221-0003.html">pre-trial jail</a> since January 20, 2023 after being accussed of sexually assaulting a woman in a Barcelona nightclub in December 2022. Throughout this process, he reportedly sought help from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a> and his family.



According to UOL Esporte, the Brazilian turned to his former Barcelona teammate for financial and legal assist as he remains in custody at the Brians 2 prison on the outskirts of Barcelona.



The report claims that the Al-Hilal star’s father, Neymar da Silva Santos, has transferred money to help Alves pay a €150,000 fine to the Spanish courts for “mitigating compensation for damaged caused,” which could help reduce the defender’s sentence in case of conviction.



In addition, Alves reportedly appointed one of the longest-serving legal representatives of Neymar Sr.’s companies, Gustavo Xisto, as his attorney on June 28, 2023. On the same day, the 40-year-old removed Dinorah Santana, his ex-wife, from the management of his assets.

<h2>Dani Alves waiting for trial</h2>



Accussed of sexual assault by a woman last year, Alves has remained on remand despite multiple attempts from his attorneys to be released on bail as the court considered him a flight risk.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231123#BUS#87369"></div>


Alves has denied the accusations. First he denied having any sexual contact with the woman in question, then he admitted having sex but claimed it was consensual. The defender said he initially lied about the intercourse because he didn’t want his wife to find out he cheated on her.



After months in custody, Alves was indicted on August 2, 2023 as the court considered there was enough evidence to open a trial, which will start on February 5, 2024. A spanish prosecutor seeks a nine-year prison sentence for Alves, while the alleged victim’s defense are asking for a 12-year jail term.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neymar</a> is a talented player, even at 31 the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brazil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brazilian</a> could still be a valuable asset in one of the top teams in the world. After his stint at PSG where the Brazilian superstar was not able to win the Champions League but did win 13 domestic titles, Neymar took a big money deal to play in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/neymars-al-hilal-looking-to-sign-mls-star-20240102-BUS-95576.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saudi Pro League. </a>



Neymar’s numbers are virtually unmatched, at Santos Neymar scored 136 goals in 225 matches, at Barcelona 105 goals in 186 matches, and at PSG 118 goals in 173 matches. Neymar has hit the 100-goal mark at all his clubs, sadly he was only able to play 3 games for Al-Hilal until he injured his knee against Uruguay in World Cup qualifying. 



Now according to Transfermarkt due to his move to Saudi Arabia and his injury Neymar’s value has dropped significantly. 



<h2>Neymar’s current market value </h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240105#BUS#96107"></div>


At the moment, Neymar is valued at only 45 million euros, Ney has a contract with Al- Hilal until June of 2025 and his price has dropped since his move from PSG where he was valued at 60 million euros, a 15 million euro drop. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240105_BUS_96169_Neymar-2-1-1024x572_a4ce9cb5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Neymar" class="wp-image-46633" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Neymar-2-1-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Neymar-2-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Neymar-2-1-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Neymar-2-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Neymar </figcaption></figure>



Transfermarkt stated the reason behind the drop was, “(Neymar’s) fall was more predictable due to age issues and his farewell to PSG. At the beginning of 23/24, the most expensive player of all time was transferred to Al-Hilal for 90 million and the fact that he was already over 30 years old accelerated his decline, already with an injury of several months that could be the prelude for a worse streak in your personal quote. Since 2019, Neymar has dedicated himself to falling and falling without any brakes.” 



<h2>Other players to have major drops </h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240103#BUS#95726"></div>


Transfermarkt also mentioned that Antony, Richarlison, Mané, and Sancho all suffered major drops in their market value.

Nonetheless Neymar lent his name to “Neymar in high seas” and more than 3,000 lucky passengers traveled with the Brazilian star to kick off the year.



 At first things looked very festive, Neymar took time to have fun with friends and family, party and play music, and take pictures with models and fans. Now reports are starting to come back that not everything was luxury on board Neymar’s cruise. 



Many passengers have taken to social media to criticize the installations and atmosphere for children, and a report also confirms that a Brazilian YouTuber Carlos Alberto Mota took his own life on board the ship. 



<h2>Social Media reactions to Neymar’s cruise </h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231228#BUS#94777"></div>


A famous fashion manager Vannini stated that the food was “poor” and that he was forced to eat “bread and coffee” as a result. Other critics stated that Neymar was too busy partying with models and playing music with celebrities rather than taking more time with the young children on board the ship.

In regard to the younger passengers, Vannini stated that there should have been an age limit in certain areas of the boat given the atmosphere, where people were drinking heavily and women were twerking.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neymar</a> is out with an ACL and Al Hilal despite not having their top star is in first place in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saudi Pro League</a>. The Boss, as Al Hilal is known as, are seven points clear of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr and winners of their last 5 games. 



Still, Jorge Jesus and the brass at Al Hilal are not sleeping on having a season to remember and are looking at signing one of the top players in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a> according to Le10sport. 



That player is LAFC’s Denis Bouanga, who in 2023 was the MLS regular season golden boot and is seen as Neymar’s natural fill-in player until the Brazilian star returns. Bouanga scored 20 goals for LAFC, who fell short of winning the MLS Cup in 2023. 



<h2>Bouanga keen on Saudi Pro League move </h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231227#BUS#94530"></div>


It is reported in Le10sport that the Gabon star, who exploded in 2023 with LAFC, is interested in the move to the Saudi Pro League and sees the move as a better option than a return to France. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240102_BUS_95576_Denis-Bouanga-1024x576_20b2117c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-95577" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/Denis-Bouanga-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/Denis-Bouanga-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/Denis-Bouanga-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/Denis-Bouanga-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/Denis-Bouanga.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Denis Bouanga</figcaption></figure>



Bouanga is a central piece of the LAFC attack and today is the club’s top star. The 29-year-old has a contract with the Black and Gold until December of 2025. Bouanga would require a transfer fee and knowing the history of LAFC’s selling policy they may be open to a possible transfer. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231231#BUS#95273"></div>


Bouanga has 21 goals in 38 MLS regular season games and 41 goals in 58 games for the club across all competitions. Bouanga has 9 goals in 38 caps for Gabon and has won three titles in his career, two of them with LAFC.

Endrick has acquired <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Real Madrid’s</a> DNA quickly. The new Merengues’ striker was tasked to craft his perfect soccer player, notably omitting two ex-<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barcelona</a> stars from his list: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neymar</a>.



Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa was signed by Real Madrid a year ago, but he will join them once he turns 18. That means that he’ll play in LaLiga for the 2024-25 season.



The talented Brazilian striker has captivated attention with his strength and goal-scoring prowess. Real Madrid is optimistic about his potential as a generational star who can lead the team to success.



<h2>Endrick forgets about Messi and Neymar when building his ideal soccer player</h2>



Real Madrid has secured one of soccer’s most promising rising stars. Last year, the team inked a deal with Endrick, who enjoyed a stellar career at Palmeiras and earned a call-up to Brazil’s national team despite his youth.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231229#BUS#94888"></div>


According to Spanish and Brazilian outlets, Endrick could become one of the greatest strikers of all time. However, he’s aware that there are other talented players who he admires and recognizes their unique traits.



In an interview with ESPN, Endrick was tasked with crafting his ideal soccer player. The Brazilian forward listed six players who have been or will be part of Real Madrid, including himself, and notably excluded any from Barcelona.



Endrick’s ideal soccer player:



<ul><li>Speed – Kylian Mbappe</li><li>Strenght – Cristiano Ronaldo</li><li>Intelligence – Luka Modric</li><li>Endurance – Jude Bellingham</li><li>Dribbling – Vinicius Jr.</li><li>Finishing – Endrick</li><li>Passing – Toni Kroos</li><li>Mentality – Abel Ferreira</li></ul>



Surprisingly, Endrick didn’t mention either Lionel Messi or Neymar. While not obligatory, many players acknowledge their talent, particularly in areas like passing or dribbling.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231229_BUS_94967_Endrick-1-1024x576_a5da6afd.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Endrick in WCQ with Brazil." class="wp-image-86708" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Endrick-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Endrick-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Endrick-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Endrick-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Endrick-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Endrick in WCQ with Brazil.</figcaption></figure>



Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have signed promising Brazilian talents for the next year. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelonas-vitor-roque-has-huge-release-clause-attached-20231227-BUS-94569.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vitor Roque will be able to play for the Blaugranas in January</a>, but the Merengues will have to wait for Endrick until next season.



<h2>Why can’t Endrick play for Real Madrid yet?</h2>



As per FIFA regulations, a player cannot be signed if they are under 18 years old. Although Real Madrid has struck a deal with Palmeiras for the Brazilian striker, he cannot join their ranks until the following summer.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231221#BUS#93510"></div>


Endrick, turning 18 on July 21st, 2024, is slated to join Real Madrid for the 2024-25 season. The Merengues eagerly anticipate his arrival, having struggled to fill the striker role since Karim Benzema’s departure.
