Neymar made a mistake in accepting his transfer, a world record, amounting to 222 million euros, from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, according to the former defender of Blaugrana and Brazil , Edmilson.
PSG knocked out world football by making Neymar the most expensive signing of all time last August. Barca remained defenseless while one of their valuable possessions was moving away.
Since then, Neymar has regularly shone in France, scoring 29 goals and creating 18 more in just 31 Ligue 1 matches.
However, the Brazilian captain was often surrounded by speculation about transfers and reports of discontent, the latest rumors hinting that he wanted a return to Barca.
It remains to be seen if this will materialize, but Edmilson – who spent four years at Camp Nou until 2008 – thinks he made the wrong choice from the start.
Edmilson told Omnisport: "Neymar's career is a very personal one and he decided to go to PSG and leave Barcelona.
"In my opinion it was a mistake because a World Cup was coming up and, if he wanted to be the number one [the best player in the world]being in Barca, he could do it faster than PSG, with all due respect.
"And he has trouble because, maybe in Ligue 1, the PSG has two or three lengths ahead of the other teams.
"It's not that their opponents are mean, it's that PSG has an international team, and for an international team to deal with clubs, it's a complicated affair. .
"I hope he's doing well mentally, that he's excited, because it's important for a player, no matter how talented he is."
"If he's not happy, he does not see football as a profession, he can have the most beautiful hair in the world, but he will not deliver what he wants."
"The same applies to [Ousmane] Dembele; he's not happy, if he's not convinced of what he's doing, he'll be late to coaching because football will not be his first passion.
"[Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] The Messi are what they are because their main goal is football; scoring 40 goals in a season, which is why, in my opinion, they are the best in the world today. "
Dembele was signed by Borussia Dortmund to replace Neymar, but the young Frenchman has not yet lived up to his reputation.
His fitness had hindered him last season when his form was inconsistent and he would have missed training due to an unauthorized illness, but Edmilson has not yet abandoned him and urged the club to support him.
"He's a young player," added Edmilson. "It may take him a little while to adapt to the life of a real footballer, but I hope he'll notice it soon and that he'll grab them." opportunities that life offers him as a player.
"But for sure, the club, the staff, the people who surround it have to help it.Sometimes it's a personal problem that you can just solve with people very close to that player . "
