Paris Saint-Germain supporters unfurl an abusive message towards Neymar during the club's opening Ligue 1 against Nimes as the Brazilian pushes for an exit this month.

Paris Saint-Germain supporters unfurled a banner ahead of their side's opening Ligue 1 game against Nimes which told Neymar to "f*** off" as the Brazilian pushes for an exit from the Parc des Princes.

The 27-year-old, who joined PSG two years ago for a world-record £198m fee, has spent the entire summer attempting to force a return to Barcelona.

Manager Thomas Tuchel left Neymar out of the squad for PSG's opening game of the season and later admitted that he understood why fans were angry with the forward.

According to The Mirror, a number of X-rated messages aimed at Neymar were out in force at the Parc des Princes, with one calling him a "son of a *****" and another which said "Neymar - getting ****** by a prostitute doesn't only happen at a remontada - remember?"

The Ligue 1 champions did not miss the Brazilian over the weekend, strolling to a 3-0 win courtesy of goals from Edinson Cavani, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria.

PSG sporting director Leonardo confirmed last week that talks regarding Neymar's departure this summer were "more advanced than before".
