Neymar agent hints at Paris Saint-Germain move

Neymar's agent Wagner Ribeiro hints that the Brazilian could complete a "dream" move to Paris Saint-Germain when his current Barcelona contract expires.

Neymar's agent has hinted that the Brazilian could join Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint-Germain when his current deal with Barcelona expires.

The 24-year-old has thrived alongside Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi at Camp Nou over the past two seasons, scooping the treble last term and helping his side to the top of La Liga, the Copa del Rey final and the Champions League quarter-finals in the current campaign.

His form saw him named as one of the three finalists for the 2015 Ballon d'Or, but his agent Wagner Ribeiro has suggested that a move to Paris would be a "dream", and also believes that PSG could afford the Brazilian's £154m release clause.

"Neymar has a contract with Barca until 2018. He feels good in Barcelona, he's loved over there and he's playing for the best team in the world. It's no small feat to impose yourself at such an enormous club," Ribeiro told L'Equipe.

"But the prospect of living in a city like Paris and to play for a club like PSG - that's also a dream for every player. We'll see in two years, when he will be at the end of his contract.

"If PSG show an interest in Neymar, we can discuss it. A contract can also be terminated provided that the release clause is paid. It's huge: [£154m]. But I don't think that would be an insurmountable problem for PSG."

Neymar has scored 27 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions this season.
