Brazil boss Tite says that Neymar is "calm" about his ongoing transfer situation as the forward attempts to seal a move away from Paris Saint-Germain.

Brazil boss Tite has revealed that Neymar feels ready to represent his country in the upcoming friendlies against Colombia and Peru.

With just two weeks remaining of the transfer window, Neymar is attempting to secure a move away from the Parc des Princes as Barcelona and Real Madrid attempt to win the race for his signature.

The 27-year-old has also not played a part during pre-season with decisions still being made regarding his future, but Tite has indicated that the forward has made himself available to play for his country next month.

At a press conference, Tite told reporters: "He said that he was happy, feeling ok and that he had been working normally for a period of time.

"He said that he wasn't doing tactical training, because that is something for the team to prepare before the matches, but he was ok.

"I asked about his emotional situation because this influences a player's performance, He said that he was calm, that he knew things were moving forward and that he was waiting for PSG to make a decision on his future."

Barca were said to be lining up their 'final offer' for Neymar, although that may have changed with Philippe Coutinho having opted to move to Bayern Munich.
