After the transfer window recently slammed shut, there were speculations being made that Neymar may not quite impressed on missing out on Barcelona return. However, Richarlison has now stated that Neymar is feeling positive and is in a good mood and can move forward after missing out on the transfer to Barcelona.

His teammate stated that Neymar’s failed transfer back to Barcelona has not reduced his importance and worth to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Although head coach Thomas Tuchel has not given Neymar an opportunity to feature in any of the matches for PSG so far, Richarlison insists he remains valued for both the club and the country.

“Everyone knows his importance, not only here in the national team but for his club,” the Everton attacker was quoted as saying by Sportstar.

“And everyone saw his happiness being here in the national team again. So, now we’re cheering for him to have a good match tomorrow [against Colombia] and to help us,” he said.

“Neymar is like everyone here. He’s happy. Life goes on for him, too, even if it didn’t work out for him.

“I don’t know what happened at his club. What matters is that he is happy here in the Brazilian national team. And the important thing now is that he helps us,” he added.
