Neymar wants to leave PSG
Wednesday, 9 August 2023
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Neymar has told his Qatari-owned club he wishes to leave this summer according to L'Equipe, in a development that facilitates a potential move to FC Barcelona, according to American global media Forbes.
The French daily newspaper reports that Neymar got together with his family and agent Pini Zahavi after returning from PSG's pre-season tour of Asia.
At the weekend, a photo of the Brazilian and his father, plus the Israeli representative who is friends with Barca president Joan Laporta, emerged on social media.
In the Ibiza meeting, it was concluded that Neymar must leave France with rough treatment from PSG's ultras, who have protested in front of his house in Paris and have routinely booed him, cited as a motive for fleeing the Parc des Princes.
That Neymar wants to return to former club Barcelona, whom he left when PSG activated his €222 million ($244 million) release clause in 2017, is well documented.
