Neymar has
privately confirmed his intention to complete a world-record transfer to Paris
Saint-Germain and said goodbye to a select number of Barcelona team-mates,
according to a report in Le Parisen.
Barcelona
offered a rare glimpse into the process by which their star players are
assessed when returning from the offseason. Lionel Messi
and Neymar were put through their paces by medical staff who ran the rule over
both superstars in a video shared by the club on Instagram.
Neymar and
Lionel Messi were among the big names in Japan on Thursday as Barcelona
revealed their new shirt sponsors Rakuten. The Catalan
side wheeled out their two biggest names alongside Gerard Pique and Arda Turan
in Tokyo at the first sponsorship event of the new season.
Barcelona
star Neymar is still someway short of matching the goalscoring feats of team-mates
Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, but the Brazilian has been valued as the world's
most expensive player.
