Neymar to finalise move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain next week?

Barcelona star Neymar will reportedly complete a world-record move to Paris Saint-Germain next week.

The Brazilian attacker is believed to be on the verge of ending his four-year spell at Camp Nou, where he has formed a deadly partnership with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

It is believed that PSG are prepared to smash the record transfer bid by paying Neymar's €222m (£198.6m) release clause, and according to L'Equipe, the move could be finalised as early as Monday.

The French publication states that Neymar could have a medical this weekend, but it is unclear whether he will go through the tests in Barcelona, Paris or Qatar.

Speculation over the attacker's future intensified this morning when Barcelona confirmed that the 25-year-old has been given permission to miss training.
