Neymar Jr To PSG?

Soccer/Football superstar Neymar Jr could be on his way to Paris Saint Germain for a 196M pound fee. This article says that Neymar feels that he will never get outside of the shadow of Leo Messi at Barcelona. Barcelona is reportedly upset with Neymar partying with Justin Bieber and Lewis Hamilton. This would be one of the biggest and most shocking moves in history of soccer/football. Neymar's pal Dani Alves has already moved to PSG, further enticing Neymar to make the move.

  • Do you think this move is possible? Or just some FAKE NEWS?
 

A lot of the soccer transfer rumors are usually fake news to stir up controversy and create "bar" room talk that you'd write out on a napkin with a buddy while throwing a couple back. I used to investigate every single rumor back when I was really into the sport and a lot of them are plain old fluff. BUT the reasons you stated seem pretty legit. He also is in the middle of a rough tax evasion case which I'm not sure the status of that but anyone who is at Barcelona will be in the shadows of someone before them at a club like Barcelona.

I guess every club has a price for one or more of its stars, with Messi and Suarez climbing in age the money used on selling Neymar Jr. could go to signing some pretty legit players.

 

I wont be surprised if Neymar leaves, but to PSG? That's kinda weird since that league really has no competition so it has to be a Man Utd or some other club in England or Germany. I agree with him leaving, he is constantly overshadowed by Messi. The media always says MSN this MSN that. Its never Neymar by himself, it always has to do something with Messi.
