Finally, the Brazilian would finish leaving to Paris Saint-Germain.

In spite of having been being part of one of the best offensive tridents of the world, the rumours on the possible goodbye of 'Ney' to the Barça began to win strength. It was then when I Struggle and Leo tried to do him change of idea: "it did not like me a lot speak of this, but arrived a moment in that it already was a big ball, so we were to speak with Neymar and said him: 'Ney, if you want to win it all remain you here with us'".

Even they arrived to recommend him that in case to be entirely decided to change of airs, was much better have chosen the Premier League to continue with his career: "they Are all the surroundings that sometimes are difficult to control. We, like friends, advise him that it remain , but is his decision, the one of his family. We said: 'Neymar, England is better. City, this football will be better there. But in France?'".
