Neymar allowed to miss Barcelona training as PSG transfer rumours continue
Written by News on 02/08/2017
Neymar was given permission not to train by Barcelona on Wednesday amid speculation he is moving to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Brazil international spent 40 minutes at Barcelona’s training ground, according to Sky sources, with Spanish media reporting he told his team-mates he is leaving the club for the French club.
Neymar flew back to Spain from Dubai on Tuesday following Barcelona’s pre-season tour in the United States, after attending a series of promotional events in China earlier this week.
One of Neymar’s agents, Wagner Ribeiro, has now arrived in Paris, according to his Twitter account.
Sky sources last week said "only a miracle" would keep Neymar at Barcelona after he asked to leave the club.
Sky Sports News understands talks to take Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain are now at an advanced stage, with a source in Spain close to the player maintaining the Brazilian is "90 per cent" likely to leave this summer.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi believes negotiations are going well and that a deal is likely to be agreed for the forward, who has a €222m (£196m) release clause in his contract at the Nou Camp.
