<p>PARIS &mdash; Neymar has signed a three-year contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain, keeping the Brazil star at the club until 2025.</p>
<p>PSG announced the deal on Saturday, posting a video of Neymar wearing a jersey with 2025 on the back and saying “Ici c’est Paris” — ‘This is Paris’, a favorite chant of the fans.</p>
<p>Neymar also spoke to the club’s website.</p>
<p>“I’m really pleased to continue my adventure at Paris Saint-Germain. I’m very happy in Paris, and proud to be part of this squad," he said. "These are things that make me believe even more in this great project. I have grown as a person here, as a human being and as a player, too. So I am very happy to extend my contract and I hope to win many more trophies here.”</p>
<p>The 29-year-old Neymar would have been out of contract next June, along with striker Kylian Mbappe — who has yet to re-sign and has been linked with a move to Spanish giant Real Madrid.</p>
<p>Neymar has scored 85 goals in 112 games since joining PSG from Barcelona for a world record 222 million euros ($270 million) four years ago along with Mbappe, who joined for 180 million euros ($219 million) from Monaco.</p>
<p>But Neymar has failed to deliver on the biggest stage so far, failing to score in seven straight knockout games of the Champions League — the trophy the ambitious club desperately wants to win.</p>
<p>PSG lost the final last year to Bayern Munich and was beaten in both semifinal legs this season by Manchester City, with <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sports-europe-ligue-1-premier-league-europe-champions-league-2461064a42eefa696e3b7f100224c506">Neymar losing his temper and berating a teammate </a> in the home leg.</p>
<p>He has also been riddled with <a href="https://apnews.com/article/lyon-memphis-depay-tino-kadewere-lille-karl-toko-ekambi-e2aef20639fb418aef088b969160cd37"> foot and leg muscle injuries</a> since his arrival, and has never played more than 20 of 38 league games in one season.</p>
<p>If he plays in PSG’s remaining three matches — starting away to Rennes on Sunday — he will have appeared in just 70 out of a possible 152.</p>
<p>Neymar has <a href="https://apnews.com/article/john-boye-lille-kevin-volland-cesc-fabregas-wissam-ben-yedder-594045e62e4aeaf3857f195a46cf32ce">also had suspensions</a>, missing five games after getting two red cards this campaign.</p>
<p>The 22-year-old Mbappe is PSG’s top scorer with 37 goals in 43 games, including a league-leading 25.</p>
