During a podcast with Romario, Neymar opened up about the tensions between himself, Kylian Mbappe, and Lionel Messi during their time at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Neymar explained that while he initially had a good relationship with Mbappe after the French forward joined PSG in 2017, things changed when Messi arrived from Barcelona in 2021. Neymar suggested that Mbappe became “jealous” of his relationship with Messi, which led to a shift in behavior and tension between the three.
Neymar pointed out that the trio of superstars—himself, Mbappe, and Messi—struggled to gel due to a clash of egos and a lack of teamwork.

The Brazilian also commented on his future, noting that although he was content at his current club, Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, he wasn’t ruling out a potential move, stating that "everything can change in six months."
