Neymar: The transfer that changed football

Neymar: The transfer that changed football

Oxford dictionary defines a chain reaction as “a series of events, each of which causes the next” - Neymar’s move to PSG set off a chain reaction that led to Liverpool winning the Premier League.

As Nick Miller explains Neymar’s transfer was a move no one was prepared for, least of all Barcelona.

That transfer is what turned the transfer market upside down. Even mediocre players now cost 50m+ to the big clubs.

“Turned wasting money into an art form” DAMN

[peanutbutterchocolatecake]

I never looked at Neymars transfer as the spark for Liverpool’s success until now.

[SuperpowerFootball]

The transfer also gave rise to the “Neymar effect” – a hyper-inflated market where players were being acquired at far greater prices than any pre-Neymar valuation.

[clintonnzedimma]

Barca literally handed Liverpool the UCL. On the pitch and off it

[chaitanyaraj]

After his transfer, EA sports took over the transfer market

[johndiggle]

The neymar transfer literally x3 everyone’s market value

[rohannalawade]

His transfer previously from FC Santos to FCB also caused Bartomeu to get his job and everyone knows what happens next

[anuragroy]

Liverpool after receiving the transfer fee for Coutinho: "Now we'll buy some great players to strengthen our squad in vital areas and try to finally win the pl"
Meanwhile Dortmund after receiving the fee for Dembele: "Nah, we don't win titles here. We just create promising youngsters and sell 'em."

[definitelynotjiraiya]

Mans was just roasting the hell out of Barca lmfao

[pratikshirodkar]

It also helped Dortmund to bought Mats Hummels, Thorgan Hazard, Julian Brandt and Nico Schulz by the transfer fee of just Ousmane Dembele.

It was criminal how messi was branded as the 6-1 hero. And another huge impact of neymar is what it did to transfers. It literally made every player far more expensive and that is crazy in itself

Neymar deserved more praise for his performances in Barcelona, but he never got it. It's understandable why he would leave, there's no need to hate him, if I had as much skill as him, I wouldn't waste my prime years in the shadow of anyone. Neymar didn't go to psg for the money, he wanted to make a mark in football history and I'm happy that he did it. I hope that one day both of them, messi and Neymar, can play together again

It's often overlooked that the summer of 2017 began with Barca trying to get Verratti to join them. Eventually PSG got pissed off and just said "you know what, we're coming for Neymar. Nobody humiliates us twice in a year!"
The biggest Reverse Uno ever

[stevendchu]

PSG bought Barca's Brazilian,
Barca panicked and bought Liverpool's tiny Brazilian,
who then got two big Brazilians.
The next season, Liverpool beat both PSG and Barca to win the Champions League. You love to see it.

"How to turn 15 million to 100 million in one year" at this point BVB should create its own Hedge fund

[tashrif]

Even without the Liverpool reference, just the obscene amount of money clubs are throwing around for players. Jadon Sancho was worth around 120 million euros and then Jack Grealish is now being valued at 100 million as well. Just because of the 222 million fee Neymar generated

[harishragavendra]

This was the transfer that DESTROYED THE TRANSFER MARKET 🤧

[pesverse]

Barça started to lose their prime after Ney left which proves how crucial he was for MSN and for the club

[okeyatimilehin]

Tifo’s storytelling is simply incredible. His watch time must be off the charts 😅
