The duo has had a rather complicated past both on and off the pitch, with reports of their conflict appearing frequently in the mainstream media.
With Neymar reaching an agreement to move to Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal team for a large sum of money, another door seems to have opened for Mbappe. Neymar’s huge transfer brought in nearly 100 million euros for PSG, and according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, striker Neymar will earn $ 400 million within two seasons.
Moving to PSG from 2017 for a world record fee, Neymar’s life in the big French team was not as smooth as expected when he never brought home the European Cup for the club. The Brazilian striker is also on the same level, but not satisfied with the French junior Mbappe.
