Neymar has come out and delivered a very pointed transfer statement to Kylian Mbappe regarding the pair's future at Paris Saint-Germain. Both Neymar and Mbappe face uncertain futures in the French capital with either player yet to agree an extension to their current deals.
The Brazilian has consistently been linked with a move back to Barcelona, but the financial situation at the Nou Camp seemingly makes that all-but impossible this summer.
He even handed in a transfer request back in 2019 and reported back late for pre-season training that same summer, leading to a massive backlash from the PSG supporters.
But Neymar has seemingly turned a corner at PSG recently, although injury issues have once again plagued his season.
Mbappe though has once again been PSG's talisman, scoring an impressive 14 goals in 18 Ligue 1 matches.
Neymar though has given his biggest indication yet that both he and Mbappe will stay in Paris beyond this summer.
"I am very happy today," he said. "I feel happy.
"Things have changed a lot, I can't exactly explain why - if it's just me, or something else has changed.
"But today, I am feeling good. I have adapted. I feel calmer and I'm very happy here. I want to stay at PSG, and I hope Kylian will stay too.

"Of course, that is the wish of every PSG supporter.
"We want PSG to be a great team, and I want to continue doing what I've done every day in Paris - play football and be happy. That is the most important thing."
He added: "Me and Kylian are like brothers. I'm the big brother. We enjoy playing together a lot. I want to bring out the best in him.
"He's a golden boy. I call him 'golden boy', because he is really gold. He has a big heart, as a football player everyone knows what he is worth, but he's incredible outside the pitch as well.
"He is always smiling, joyous, he loves having fun. We are very much alike and we need to be happy to perform at 100 per cent. And yet there are also strong failures, in the recent Champions League final with PSG."
