The future of Neymar remains a hot topic. Despite the player hinting against a move away from Barcelona, and the club ruling out his sale, reports continue to link him with a Camp Nou exit.
The exit rumors have been circulating so much that the Blaugrana have even been linked with a move for Neymar’s replacement – Philippe Coutinho of Liverpool.
Sky Sports have now added more fuel to the aforementioned rumors. According to the British outlet, they have been informed by a source that the Selecao ace’s PSG move is 95% likely to happen.
The report calls their source as someone close to the player. Neymar’s alleged reason for wanting out is his desire to become the world’s best player.
The Ballon d’Or is the only prize he has not won at Barcelona. The belief is that while he continues to play beside Lionel Messi, the Brazilian will forever remain in La Pulga’s shadow. The 25-year-old no longer wishes to play second fiddle to the Argentine legend.
"At the age of 25, he thinks it's his time to win the Ballon d'Or. He believes he can be the best player in the world at another big club."
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague claims the Blaugrana are pressuring the player to put an end to these rumors, but the former Santos ace is yet to abide. "Barcelona keep asking him to deny stories and to tell publicly what he told them two days ago - that he's happy at club. But he's quiet."
The player has a €222m, which would make him the world’s most expensive player. PSG will pay that clause this week, according to Balague.
