Will Brazilian Soccer Star Neymar Leave Barcelona?

This is What’s Trending Today.

Brazilian soccer player Neymar is one of the world’s best.

巴西球星内马尔是世界上最好的球员之一。

But he is not the best player on his team, Barcelona.

但是他不是他所在的巴塞罗那足球队最好的球员。

That title belongs to Argentina’s Lionel Messi.

这一名头属于阿根廷球星梅西。

Neymar, 25, started playing with Barcelona in 2013. His full name is Neymar da Silva Santos Junior. Before Barcelona, he played with Santos in the Brazilian league.

25岁的内马尔从2013年开始到巴塞罗那队踢球。他的全名是内马尔·达·席尔瓦·儒尼奥尔(Neymar da Silva Santos Junior)。赴巴塞罗那队踢球之前,他在巴西联赛的桑托斯队踢球。

He helped Brazil win a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics and was one of the top goal-scorers at the 2014 World Cup.

他帮助巴西队在2016年奥运会上赢得了一枚金牌,他也是2014年世界杯上的顶级球员之一。

With Barcelona, he has scored 105 goals in four full seasons. Working with Messi and other teammates, Neymar helped Barcelona win Spanish league championships, the Champions League title and the FIFA Club World Cup.

在巴塞罗那队的四个赛季里,他踢进去105个球。内马尔和梅西等队员一起帮助巴塞罗那队赢得了西班牙联赛冠军、欧冠以及世俱杯。

But if he stays with Barcelona, Neymar will never be the team’s number one player.

但是如果内马尔留在巴塞罗那,他将永远成不了该队的头号球星。

That is why Neymar is in the news today. His name was the top worldwide trending topic on Twitter and the top Google search in Brazil.

这就是为什么今天内马尔登上新闻的原因。他的名字成为了推特上的热门话题,也是Google巴西网站上搜索最多的关键词。

Sports newspapers in Spain are reporting that Neymar is considering a transfer offer from Paris Saint-Germain, known as PSG, of the French league.

西班牙的体育报纸报道称,内马尔正在考虑法国足球联赛中巴黎圣日耳曼队的转会报价。

Neymar declined their offers in the past, but this one seems more serious.

内马尔过去拒绝了他们的报价,但是这次报价似乎更为严肃。

The Spanish sports newspaper As wrote that Neymar’s father will meet with the president of PSG this week to discuss a move.

西班牙体育报纸As撰文称内马尔的父亲本周将会和巴黎圣日耳曼队的球队主席会面讨论这一转会。

Barcelona will receive over 220 million euros if Neymar leaves.

如果内马尔离队,巴塞罗那队将会超过获得2.2亿欧元的转会费。

In its story about Neymar, As wrote that he wants to be the primary focus on his new team and not have to be “in the shadow of his teammates.”

在这篇关于内马尔的报道中,As写道,内马尔想要成为他新球队的主要焦点,而不是活在队友的阴影下。

Barcelona is coming to the United States this month for a series of games against opponents including Juventus, Manchester United and Real Madrid as it prepares for the upcoming Spanish season.

巴塞罗那队本月将到美国跟尤文图斯队、曼联队和皇家马德里队进行一系列比赛,为即将到来的西班牙联赛热身。

A Brazilian sports writer posted on Twitter Tuesday morning. He said Neymar accepted the offer from the Parisian team. But representatives from Barcelona said they do not think any team will pay the large price for Neymar.

一名巴西体育记者周二上午在推特上发文表示,内马尔接受了巴黎队的报价。但是巴塞罗那队的代表声称,他们不认为有球队会为内马尔掏这么多转会费。

Spanish league teams have until September 1 to complete any summer transfers. If Neymar wants to leave, however, it would be better if it happens soon. The Spanish season starts in mid-August.

西班牙联赛各支球队必须在9月1日前完成夏季转会。如果内马尔想要离队,那就越快越好。西班牙联赛将于8月中旬开赛。

And that’s What’s Trending Today.
