Neymar tells Barcelona teammates he is joining Paris Saint-Germain?

Forward Neymar has reportedly told his Barcelona teammates that he is joining Paris Saint-Germain.

It has been widely reported that the French giants plan to meet the Brazilian's alleged release clause, which is said to be in the region of £196m, and boss Unai Emery has hinted that a move could be imminent.

According to Le Parisien, Neymar is keen on the transfer and he has told those closest to him at Camp Nou that he will soon be leaving for the Parc des Princes.

The 25-year-old has spent the last four years at last season's La Liga runners up and netted 20 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions last season, but there has been a suggestion that he wants to try to become the world's best player at the Ligue 1 side.

Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu has claimed that any transfer is unrealistic, but it appears that PSG intend to push through with the deal.

It has also been reported that PSG want to sign Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez ahead of the new campaign.
