There could be a huge plot twist in the Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain transfer saga.
According to Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol, La Liga have this morning refused to accept attempt by PSG/Neymar lawyers to pay Neymar €222m release clause.
La Liga are refusing to be bullied by the Ligue 1 side or Neymar and his entourage.
They find it ‘impossible’ that PSG can finance a move for Neymar without violating the Financial Fair Play rules.
“We can confirm that the lawyers of the player (Neymar) have come to La Liga to deposit the clause and that it has been rejected. It is all the information we will give so far.”
It has been a busy 48 hours for Neymar and his entourage.
At 9:25am on Wednesday morning, @FCBarcelona confirmed that Neymar didn’t train with the squad on Wednesday with the permission of the coach, Ernesto Valverde.
Sky Sports journalist @GuillemBalague then claimed that the player told Barcelona teammates that he will leave the club to join Paris Saint Germain, as key players were ‘fed up’ with situation.
Neymar then travelled to London on Wednesday afternoon to ‘relax’, according to Cadena COPE.
According to RMC, Neymar will undertake a medical with PSG on Thursday before the club officialise his signing that evening or Friday morning, but these latest reports will cast doubt over the deal.
