In a blue Audi sports car, Neymar arrived 30 minutes before the scheduled training session but did not take part in the training which lead people to believe that he was there to bid goodbye to his Barcelona teammates. There were reports on Tuesday which said that Neymar was keen to go back to Brazil to think about his future amid the growing speculation over his career. 

If the deal with PSG comes through, it would clearly smash all world records making him the costliest player in Football’s history by miles. Media have also reported that the relationship between the club and the player turned sour after the club withheld a payment to Neymar senior on Monday. 

Neymar was in China the last week to take part in a sponsor’s event before boarding a flight to Dubai on Tuesday which added lot of sparks to the rumors considering PSG’s owners are based in the Middle east. The prolific Barcelona striker is expected to pen a ₤500,000-a-week deal with the French club.
