PSG set to activate Barca star's release clause

 

PSG are ready to activate Neymar's £153m release clause as they look to cover the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, reports the Daily Mail.

 

Any potential move see the Brazilian become the most expensive footballer in the world, eclipsing the £86m Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale in 2013.

 

Neymar enjoyed an impressive season for Barcelona last season, with his 24 goals and 12 assists contributing to a WhoScored rating of 8.43.

Manchester United have been creited with an interest in the 24-year-old, but would struggle to match PSG's demands for Neymar should the French side make their move.

 

The attacker's contract runs until 2018 and Barcelona are hoping to extend his current deal at Camp Nou, though could cash in on Neymar should he opt against prololing his stay at the club.
