In Brazil, Neymar’s move to PSG appears to move closer with each passing day.
This week, reports emerged that Paris Saint-Germain are willing to pay the €222m release clause that the player currently has at Barcelona.
Now, further reports in Brazil state that Neymar has told his Brazil team-mates who play for PSG (Marquinhos, Lucas Moura, Thiago Silva, and Dani Alves) that he will be with them in Paris next season.
Dani Alves’ arrival in Paris, when it appeared certain that he would join Manchester City, is thought to be particularly significant for Neymar.
PSG will offer Neymar the chance to lead their ambitious project. What is more, he would be able to shine outside Lionel Messi’s shadow.
The Parisian club offered Neymar an attractive contract in the summer of 2016 and he is believed to have received it well.
