Neymar shows signs that he wants to leave Barcelona

Neymar has his mind set on the move to Paris Saint-Germain, the French team is reportedly willing to activate €222 million release clause on his contract and spend €40 million a year on wages.

The Brazilian won three major trophies at Barcelona but is reportedly eager to leave Camp Nou so he can leave Lionel Messi’s shadow.The 25-year-old exhibited some signs to show that heis closer to leaving the club than ever before.

Training ground bust-up: Barcelona is currently training in Miami, but a session was disrupted when Neymar was challenged by teammate Nelson Semedo, tempers flared and Neymar was restrained by Sergio Busquets, before storming off the pitch in a huff.

Cancelled trip to China: He was due to meet fans in Shanghai on July 31, but Ctrip — the Chinese online travel agency which booked the event — said Neymar had to”deal with transfer issues,”

‘The power is in his hands,’ Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu told the New York Times on Wednesday that players have a lot of power in transfer sagas.

“You know that players decide if they want to leave, they can decide,”Bartomeu said.

Barcelona won’t give up without a fight, however. Bartomeu said he still wants the forward to stay.”Neymar is one of our best players, and so we don’t want to lose thatplayer,”he stressed.
