Paris Saint-Germain are open to selling Neymar this summer

Christophe Galtier, the new head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, wants Neymar to remain with the team this summer.

Towards the close of the last campaign, PSG fans booed a number of players, with many questioning the 30-year-old forward's dedication to the team.

Neymar is reportedly wanted by PSG's management to leave this summer, and Chelsea has been given the opportunity to sign him.

Galtier, who took over as head coach from Mauricio Pochettino on Tuesday, however, intends to keep Neymar in his team.

‘He’s one of the best in the world,’ Galtier said at his first press conference.

‘What coach wouldn’t want to have him? I’ve a very clear idea of what I’ll expect from him.

‘Of course I want him to stay.’

Galtier’s comments appear to be at odds with those made by PSG’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who cast doubt over Neymar’s future in the French capital during a series of interviews last month

‘Dreams are one thing, reality is another,’ Al-Khelaifi told Le Parisien.

‘Perhaps we should change our slogan… dream bigger is good, but today we must be realistic, we don’t want flashy, bling-bling anymore, it’s the end of the glitter.’

When asked directly about Neymar’s future in an interview with Marca, Al-Khelaifi replied: ‘We can’t talk about it in the media, some will come and some will go, but these are private negotiations.

‘We want young, talented, committed players with a winning mentality, people who want to die for this badge

‘We want to be stronger collectively, to play as a team and for the club to be above all.’
