The Talented Brazilian forward has come under criticism in the past few seasons following his underperformance, failing to meet expectations since joining the French side.
Neymar, who left Barcelona for a record fee of €222m in 2017, believing he was under the shadow of Lionel Messi, seems to have been graced by a giant shadow in Paris Saint-Germain.
The 30-year-old has fallen in the pecking order in the eyes of the fans, rated below young French star Kylian Mbappé, who has consistently delivered for the Ligue 1 champions.
Since he moved to Parc des Princes, Neymar has managed to score 100 goals in all competitions for the Les Parisiens, less than Mbappé's 171.
Despite making 144 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain, the gifted attacker has drawn criticism from many pundits and has been labeled an inconsistent player.
Neymar is linked with a move away from the French club this summer, with reports mentioning Chelsea as his next destination.
The Brazilian international appears unfazed by the news surrounding his future after posting a photo of himself on vacation with a Brazilian sprinter, Paulo Andre, and his girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi, with the caption, "The most beautiful little blacks in Brazil."
According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain are open to selling Neymar at a fair bargain, which has linked him with a move to Chelsea, guided by his former manager, Thomas Tuchel.
Chelsea wants to bolster their attacking options this summer following the departure of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan on a season-long loan.
The Premier League club endured a mixed season without a goal poacher after Romelu Lukaku failed to deliver for the Blues on his return from Inter Milan for a £97.5m record fee.
After missing out on trophies and losing two finals against Liverpool last season, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is looking for attackers to help his team compete in the coming campaign.
The Premier League club is currently pushing to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha after hijacking the deal from Arsenal, who were considered the front runners to submit a £60m bid for the Brazilian, which the club has accepted.
Chelsea are also in advanced talks with Manchester City for England's winger Raheem Sterling, and Neymar has appeared as the third player to be linked with Chelsea.
Chelsea are in need ot players that can score goals to compete with other clubs, and Neymar could be the ideal player for Thomas Tuchel's side if he stays fit.
