PSG ‘set to AXE Neymar for just £76m – a £122m loss on world-record transfer – in summer to fund massive squad overhaul’
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are reportedly planning to axe Neymar this summer, taking a huge loss on the Brazilian forward in the process.
Neymar joined PSG in a blockbuster £198million world-record deal back in 2017.
But five years on the French giants are open to cutting their losses and parting ways with the 30-year-old.
And they are willing to sell Neymar for just £76million, according to Sky Sports via AS.
That would see the club take a damaging £122m loss on the samba star, who has failed to deliver the Champions League to Les Parisiens.
Although £76m is said to be the minimum PSG are willing to accept, and a bidding war between multiple clubs could push that price higher.

Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku have both been linked with switches to Paris.
And selling Neymar would go some way to generating the funds needed to get any potential deals over the line.
Neymar has been a controversial figure at the Parc des Princes recently, and was even booed by his own fans while in action last month.
But despite rumours of an exit, Neymar told ESPN Argentina following the jeers: “I still have a contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
“I’m here for three more years, so stop [booing] or you’ll need more air.”
