Neymar

Alfredo Relaño looks at the changing influence of Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr at PSG and how this affects Florentino Pérez transfer decision making.

AS editor Alfredo Relaño says that the failures of Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar at the World Cup have allowed Griezmann and Modric to become front runners for the Ballon d'Or.

Neymar came off second best in every attempt at taking on the opposition on his own, and Brazil were often playing with ten men.

Following Cristiano and Messi's World Cup exit last weekend, Neymar is the latest big name player to see his side exit the Russia World Cup following Brazil's defeat to Belgium in Kazan last night.

It is maybe unsurprising that he crosses to pastures new before further harm is done, and for a low fee considering his attributes.

The World Cup continues without Spain but still full of emotion...
