Neymar: 'I want to play with Cristiano Ronaldo'

"I want to play with Cristiano Ronaldo," Neymar has said in an interview with GQ France.

"I've already played with great players like Messi and Mbappe, but I haven't played with Cristiano Ronaldo yet."

Funnily enough, the Brazilian claimed that what he wants 'the most is to play with Messi again' in December.

Neymar has extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2025 since then, so his reunion with Messi at Barcelona is all but impossible anytime soon.

Cristiano, for his part, could be on his way to the Parc des Princes already this summer as Juventus could realistically miss out on the Champions League qualification this term.

"I want to win the World Cup," Neymar added on his remaining career goals. "This has always been my biggest dream, but I also want to win everything with PSG.

"I'm almost 30 now and I've had a good career on a personal level."

Barcelona 'disappointed' with Neymar amid latest transfer saga

Barcelona are 'disappointed' with Neymar following his decision to extend the deal with PSG, as per reliable RAC1.

Barca officials met Neymar about a month ago and the Brazilian convinced them that he wanted to come back, the source explains.

Neymar told them about the lack of winning project at PSG.

However, it's quite possible that his intention was to secure better financial terms in his new deal with the Parisians.

Under the new contract, the 29-year-old will be making €30m per year.
