In the summer of 2017, Barcelona sold Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain for a world-record fee of €222 million. The transfer came as a shock to many, as Neymar had only been at Barcelona for two years and was seen as a key part of the team.<\/p>\n

There are a few theories as to why Barcelona sold Neymar. Some believe that they needed the money to fund a move for French striker Kylian Mbappe. Others think that Barcelona’s board was unhappy with Neymar’s off-field antics and wanted to get rid of him before his value decreased.<\/p>\n

Whatever the reason, Neymar’s sale has had a big impact on both Barcelona and PSG. Neymar has quickly become one of the best players in the world at PSG, while Barcelona have struggled to replace him.<\/p>\n

Another reason is that Barcelona wanted to use the money from the sale to fund a move for Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho. It has also been speculated that Neymar was not getting along with his teammates and that the club felt it was best to sell him.<\/p>\n
