Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet believes the Blues should not sign Neymar Jr. this summer. He believes the Brazilian will find it hard to adapt to the physicality of the Premier League.
Le Parisien (via Get Football News France ) reports that Neymar is very likely to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
His compatriot and Blues defender Thiago Silva has been trying to convince him to join the west London side this summer. However, Poyet believes otherwise. He said in an interview with LordPing:
"Chelsea shouldn't try to sign Neymar. I think he will stay at PSG. I think after Mbappe announced he was staying and with their ambition to try and win the Champions League, I can't see him leaving.
"I don't think he would adapt quickly to English football with how physical it is. I can't see him joining Chelsea."
Neymar is still the most expensive player in football history, a title he achieved when PSG signed him from Barcelona for €222 million in 2017. Since then, he's contributed 100 goals and 60 assists in 140 matches across competitions for the Parisians.
However, he has often struggled with injury issues that have also affected his form at crucial moments in a season. The Brazilian has missed 104 games due to injuries and COVID during his time in Paris.
According to the aforementioned GGFN report, he is seen as someone with a bad influence on some players in the dressing room. Hence, PSG could sell him this summer.
