Zenit coach Mancini: Neymar to PSG not so unusual

Published on: 02 August 2017

Zenit St Petersburg coach Roberto Mancini has had his say on Neymar's move to PSG.

The former Inter Milan boss joked that Zenit “also wanted to buy Neymar" ahead of his €222m move from Barcelona.

“There is nothing unusual about this, many clubs buy football players from Latin America," Mancini said.

“Many clubs buy Brazilian players during the transfer window. We had an opportunity to buy some young, promising and very talented players.

“It so happened that most of them are from Argentina. I hope that they will help us win in our upcoming matches, I'm very glad that they have joined us.

“We also wanted to buy Neymar, but unfortunately PSG beat us to him!"
