I mean it still is.
I don't think we should pay 40m for him, but even Vinicius and Rodrygo who went for the same or more were not close to same level as Neymar.
Comparing a generational talent to anyone, even a world class talent like Vinicius was is silly. If you're only going to sign generational talents you're going to end up without a job.
Neymar is 31 and his own club wants to get rid of him, with KSA the only "country" interested.
Who is the next Neymar? Who is this players who are humiliating GK and defenses?
It is a dying breed mate, arguably the most entertaining U-30 forward (yes, U-30) is Vinicius and he is no where near technical abilities of Neymar, never mind Messi or Ronaldinho.
That is a side effect of teams training their players to be effective machines rather than artists, it simply doesn't allow the later type to flourish and appear.
Halaand might win Balón dor, and for sure to win the best, and his technical abilities is closer to Oleguer than Neymar.
It is a new era mate, enjoy it
Excellent post. The days of Romario,Rivaldo ,R9,Ronaldinho,Adriano and Neymar are over.Neymar is 31 and his own club wants to get rid of him, with KSA the only "country" interested.

The signing is closed at all levels, but it cannot be made official until there is a sufficient salary margin to be able to register the player. An element that is not trivial at all: the economic situation of the club requires that there be a minimum of three more exits in order to free up enough salary mass to face pending operations.
In principle, he will sign for five seasons, and the transfer, estimated at around 40 million euros, is speculated to be paid in three installments.

Vitor Roque sealed and agreed according to AS. This will be our offensive beat. Hope it works out because we have little margin for failure with signings over the next 1-3 years while we level out the cap.
Xavi alluded to Roque being controlled in last weeks presser. IIRC he also referred to SA talents, so Fabricio Diaz could also be agreed under similar method, ie, waiting until some sales go through.
He's 5 foot 8 ffs
What's the last club to play with a 5 foot 8 striker?
Height is overrated.
Endrick is only 16 thoEnrick or whatever his name is, that Brazilian kid Madrid bought is pretty short too, right?
