Former player Julio Baptista said that Arsenal should recruit star striker Neymar from PSG to “complete the squad”.
“I think Neymar feels comfortable at PSG, but perhaps the best move for him is to create a new atmosphere at a new club. It could be a team that supports Neymar and gives him everything. The confidence he needs. Neymar didn’t have that at PSG,” the 41-year-old former striker shared.
“It’s time for Neymar to move on and try something different. Why not? Arsenal are one of the best clubs in Europe. Over the past eight years, we all know Arsenal haven’t been in the top form. best and can’t compete for titles.
But now, with Arteta, Arsenal have something different. They have started building something powerful. Why not? Perhaps this could be the key. In Brazil we say you have a house, you have everything and you just need the key to open it all. Perhaps Neymar is the key that opens the door to making Arsenal perfect. He is an incredible player.”
If Neymar arrives at Arsenal, he will share the trenches with many familiar faces in the Brazilian national team including Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes. With proven experience and class, the 31-year-old star can give the Gunners more options in attack.
However, in reality, it is difficult for Arsenal to recruit Neymar because they have excess talent in the front line. In addition, the Gunners also invested a lot of money in the summer of 2023 when bringing in 3 rookies including Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz.
Currently, Neymar still has a 2-year contract with PSG , valued at 60 million euros by Transfermarkt. As for Bapstista, he had a season with Arsenal on loan from Real Madrid, scoring 10 goals in 35 appearances for the Gunners. At this time, Bapstista is the head coach of Valladolid B.
