Determined to part ways with Neymar this summer, PSG are also fully aware that it will be difficult to part with the Brazilian through a permanent transfer as his contract runs until 2027. Therefore, according to L’EQUIPE, the club of the capital would consider lending its number 10. An unusual type of transaction with players of this size, but it would not be a first..
Lukaku, Felix, Falcao… Chelsea are a regular
Long before the PSG does not consider the loan of Neymar, chelsea had tried to revive a star on the decline. In 2015, the Blues tried to revive Radamel Falcaocoming off a disappointing first loan to Manchester United. A failure for the Colombian who will only play 12 matches with the London club, but will revive on his return to theAS Monaco. More recently, chelsea did it again by getting the loan from Joao Felix during the previous winter transfer window. Recruited at a golden price (127M€) by theMadrid athlete in 2019, the young Portuguese is trying to relaunch with the Blues. It’s mixed so far. Conversely, the London club also used the loan in the hope of recovering a star in great form. It is Romelu Lukaku. Ready to Everton in 2013, the Belgian was a hit to the point of being transferred definitively to the Caramels. He finally comes back to chelsea in 2021 for €113M fromInterMilan… and will be loaned again a season later to the Nerazzurri.
Coutinho, James… Bayern try their luck
THE Bayern Munich is not to be outdone and has tried in recent seasons to take advantage of the poor form of certain La Liga stars. Thus, in 2017, the Bavarian club obtains the loan of James Rodriguez for two seasons. In trouble at real Madridthe Colombian revives in Germany without however exploding everything. Besides, he will not be kept after his two seasons and will join Everton. At Bayern Munich, James Rodriguez is also replaced by Philippe Coutinho which also arrives in the form of a loan from the FCBarcelona where his transfer turned into a total fiasco. But again, this will not be completely conclusive.
Bale, Torres, Lampard… Last chance loans
Stars at the end of their careers have also tried to take advantage of a loan to achieve a final challenge. Thus, during the summer of 2014, Frank Lampard quits chelsea after 13 years to engage with the New York FC… which lends the England international in stride to Manchester City. A 20th and final season in premier league which will look like a pre-retirement despite a goal against… chelsea. At the same period, Fernando Torres will also chain loans. Belonging to Blueshe joins theAC Milan during the summer of 2014. The Lombard club definitely recruited him six months later and immediately loaned him to theMadrid athlete for 18 months. Finally, Gareth Bale will also try to revive his career. In 2020, the real Madrid thus lends it to Tottenham. Without success.
Mbappé, the exception
But there is another type of loan, that with a purchase option which allows the payment of a transfer to be postponed by one season. This is the strategy adopted by the PSG to recruit Kylian Mbappe during the summer of 2017. A few weeks later Neymarthe club of the capital effectively obtains the loan of the crack of Bondy with an almost obligatory purchase option of 180M€. It remains to be seen whether the name of the Brazilian will be added to this list in the coming months.
