When Paris Saint-Germain signed Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr. in 2017, it was a risky gamble. In order to win the UEFA Champions League, the capital club intended to construct itself around these two superstar players.
The pair’s time together ended this summer, despite some memorable milestones like reaching the 2020 Champions League final. Neymar, 31, left Europe and was transferred by PSG to Al-Hilal for a rumored €90 million.
Check out their Instagram accounts to see that their connection was strictly professional. People have noted that Mbappé and Neymar don’t follow one another on social media.
Expecting these two to be buddies is unrealistic; perhaps the rift that once existed between them will eventually disappear. Since there was an awkward-looking farewell between the two players when Neymar left, it will be intriguing to watch how these two get along in person.
Can they ever rekindle their friendship? Or will this always be only a business?
