Neymar Reportedly Wants to Stay with Barcelona Amid PSG Transfer Rumours

Gianni VerschuerenJul 22, 2017

The transfer saga surrounding Neymar, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona has taken yet another twist, as Spanish media have reported the Brazilian has changed his mind and now wants to stay with his current club.

Marca's Ramiro Aldunate (via Tim Hanlon) reported the news, just hours after ESPN FC's Jonathan Johnson cited a French source that said the Brazilian had agreed to a contract with Les Parisiens.

Per Marca, Neymar has met with some of his current team-mates, and he is now "worried that the ongoing negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain are too far advanced." 

Where the 25-year-old seemed unlikely to leave Catalonia just days ago, plenty of reports have cast real doubt on his future since then. French media are adamant Neymar has agreed to join PSG and is waiting for the Ligue 1 giants to trigger his buyout clause, and Sky Sports News lean in the same direction:

According to Johnson, that clause is a staggering €222 million, a fee that would more than double the current transfer record held by Manchester United's Paul Pogba.

The choice will ultimately come down to the Brazil international, who can choose to stay at Barcelona and continue their success or forge his own path and turn PSG into a title-winning team in Europe.
