Accordingly, Neymar considers his relationship with his Uruguayan teammate on the pitch "un Acceptable", after fighting for a penalty in a 2-0 win over Lyon in round 6 of Ligue 1. In addition, they had confusion in the dressing room after the match.
Sport reported: Neymar recently met with PSG President Nasser Al-Khelafi to say that the simultaneous existence of him and Cavani at this team was impossible. He has made a transfer request for the Uruguayan striker.
The PSG owner will have to decide to make the relationship between the world's most expensive player and one of their key players a smooth one.
In the 79th minute of the match between PSG and Lyon, when PSG was awarded a penalty kick after Mbappe was fouled in the penalty area, Cavani placed the ball on the free kick but Neymar suddenly approached and demanded to take the kick. However, the former Napoli striker flatly refused. After that, Cavani failed to fulfill his duties.
In a previous situation, a conflict arose between Neymar and Cavani. In a free kick from PSG, Cavani asked for the ball from Dani Alves but the Brazilian defender did not agree and gave the ball back to Neymar. After the match, they continued to have discord in the dressing room.
When Neymar moved to PSG, many people thought he wanted to become a central figure in the French capital team and escape the shadow of Lionel Messi at Barcelona.
However, Edinson Cavani has been a favorite choice of head coach Unai Emery since last season. He joined PSG from Napoli in 2013. Currently, whether PSG's board sold Cavani in the 2018 winter transfer window or sought a mediation between the two sides is still unknown.
