    I wonder if Neymar even wants to move to PSG. Only team on the planet barring a Chinese team that will pay his release clause. He wants to win the ballon d'or but I'm not sure that's possible in the French League in modern football. He'd have to have a sensational season. He's obviously trying to get out of Messi's shadow but their are a lot of egos in that PSG team.

    A lot of those egos are his Brazilian mates, though.

    Can't escape the feeling this may all be a ploy for a better contract at Barca, but PSG wouldn't be setting themselves up for a fall in the press if they didn't think Neymar and his dad were serious.

    Good point about the Ballon d'Or, since Jean-Pierre Papin won it in 1991 no player from Ligue 1 has even made the top three of the voting. Would take PSG winning the Champions League at minimum for him to be in the conversation, you'd imagine.

    Marca say Neymar will sign six-year PSG deal on £500,000 a week. Total cost £352m. £196m release clause + £156m wages

    West Brom just had a £21 million bid for Ben Gibson of Middlesrough (who are in the Championship) rejected.

    Think that tops the lot when it comes to * mental money being spent/bid.

    They could get a better player like big Jozo for only a few £million more than that ;)

    This stuff from Marca makes it sounds like PSG are arranging for a third party to 'sponsor' Neymar and give him the money to buy himself out, rather than the club itself. So the 222 million wouldn't count against PSG's books for the purposes of FFP.

    http://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2017/07/23/5973b90b22601dcc608b4576.html

    * knows how legal that is in the eyes of FIFA! I'm sure they'll come to some arrangement, maybe a nominal fine 12 months down the line if any wrongdoing is uncovered. Barca buying him off Santos was itself a cluster *.

    Pique saying Neymar is staying. If only Neymar comes out to say the same, put this thing to bed once and for all.

    Well, Piqué will indeed be speaking to the media today ahead of the friendly against United at 1730 EST (along with Mascherano) - surely he will be responding to questions about Neymar. Of course, seeing that he has Presidential aspirations I wonder whether he will indeed put it to bed or leave it to Neymar to do that

    Neymar will stay, no doubt about it. I think so anyway.

    I reckon £45 and an all day ticket might be enough to seal it.
