Barcelona confirm Neymar exit

 

Barcelona have confirmed Neymar intends to leave and join Paris Saint-Germain this summer, claims ESPN.

 

Neymar returned to Barcelona on Tuesday but only spent 40 minutes at their training ground where he reportedly said his goodbyes to the players and coaching staff.

 

Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde then gave the Brazil international permission to miss training as his impending move to PSG gathers pace.

 

The Ligue 1 giants are reportedly prepared to match Neymar’s stunning £193m release clause and there are suggestions the 25-year-old could even undergo his medical at the end of this week or on Monday.

 

 

Unai Emery’s side have already made plans for his unveiling and will reportedly do something even bigger than when they presented Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the Trocadero at the foot of the Eiffel Tower five years ago.

 

Only Lionel Messi (54) has made more accurate through balls than Neymar (18) in the last two La Liga campaigns.
