João Neves’ PSG understudy wanted more pay, it backfired | OneFootball

The contract renewal of Senny Mayulu with PSG, which seemed well underway, is now at an impasse. The high salary demands from the player's close circle are complicating the negotiations, at a time when the Parisian club is trying to manage the financial and hierarchical balance of the squad.

According to the newspaper 'Ici Paris Ile de France', the 21-year-old, whose current contract ends in 2027, wants to earn a salary higher than João Neves, who is ahead of him in the hierarchy. The PSG management rejected this demand, especially at a time when the Portuguese player is about to renew his own contract.

João Neves' case becomes central in Mayulu's equation. With the renewal of the former Benfica midfielder practically assured, the Parisian management is forced to balance salaries and positions in the midfield, maintaining internal fairness and motivation among young talents.

Despite the obstacles, Senny Mayulu seems willing to stay at Parc des Princes. The outcome of the negotiations now depends on aligning the player's salary expectations with PSG's hierarchy policy, with João Neves' case playing a decisive role in defining the young midfielder's future.

This season, playing for PSG, João Neves - valued at 110 million euros - has already played 23 games: 14 in Ligue 1, six in the Champions League, one in the Intercontinental Cup, one in the French Cup, and one in the French Super Cup. In the 1,744 minutes he was on the pitch, the Portuguese player recorded six goals and two assists.
