Neymar agrees £196m transfer to Paris Saint-Germain: Announcement in two weeks - report
NEYMAR had agreed a stunning world-record move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, according to surprise reports in Brazil.
An official announcement could be made within two weeks, with the Paris side needed now to trigger the player's release clause. ![image]()
Neymar's future has been in doubt this summer, with Esporte Interativo claiming he is ready to leave Barca and emerge from Lionel Messi's shadow.
Neymar would be handsomely paid at PSG and valued as their top dog, while Messi remains the main man at the Nou Camp after signing a new contract.
The move means he will be reunited with former Barca star and compatriot Dani Alves, who snubbed a deal with Manchester City to join PSG this summer.
It would also give Barca the financial clout to dive into the transfer market and sign a replacement forward.
On Sunday technical director Robert Fernandez insisted Neymar would not leave and revealed the club are chasing PSG's Marco Verratti, who could end up being included in the Neymar switch.
“Our intention is not to lose good players in order to sign Verratti. On the contrary, our intention is to improve the team,” he said.
