The brand new reinforcement that arrived from Barcelona will use the number that the Brazilian leaves free after his departure to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
After Neymar's departure to Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia, his number ten was bacchante. The entity announced shortly after that French international Dembélé , coming from Barcelona, will inherit the coveted number 10 , previously worn by Parisian legends such as Raí, Ronaldinho or Ibrahimovic .
Kylian Mbappé , who is in the process of formalizing his reconciliation with the club, wears that same 10 when he plays with the France team, although at PSG he has worn the 7 for several seasons . "I know what that number represents, I will wear it with pride. 10 is magical ," Dembélé declared about the number that he will wear in the Parque de los Príncipes.
The warm farewell to Neymar from the squad after leaving PSG
In the farewell video published by PSG , Ney, who spent the six seasons in Paris with more shadows than lights, is seen hugging several players, including Mbappé himself , with whom he established a relationship that went from more to less . The most heartfelt farewell captured by the video was with captain Marquinhos , Neymar's teammate in the Brazilian team.
Ney, who spent the equivalent of two years without playing for PSG due to physical problems, arrived in Paris in August 2017 with the title of the most expensive transfer in the history of football (222 million euros paid to Barcelona). Six years later, he leaves without having won the Champions League, for which he was signed, and worn out by his deteriorating relationship with the fans, despite his good statistics (173 games with 118 goals and 70 assists).
At Al-Hilal, who paid 80 million euros, the Brazilian will have one of the highest salaries in the world of sports , around 100 million euros per year (a little more than triple what he earned at PSG ).
