Neymar To Stay In PSG For Failed Transfer
-Neymar’s desire to move to Barcelona fails.
-This failed transfer will keep him in his club in PSG.
Neymar will remain in Paris Saint Germain(PSG) after his desired transfer back to Barcelona failed.
Neymar, 27, became the world’s most expensive player when PSG paid 222 million euros ($264 million at the time) for his transfer from Barcelona two years ago.
A score of 51 goals in 58 appearances in his two seasons in the French capital, Neymar has not featured at all for his club this season amid the uncertainty surrounding his future.

He trained with PSG on Thursday, but coach Thomas Tuchel omitted him from the team that beat Metz 2-0 in Ligue 1 action on Friday.
According to the PSG sporting director,Leonardo said that efforts to negotiate a suitably lucrative transfer back to Barcelona have seemingly flustered and there was “no agreement. It depends on Barcelona”.
A source told our correspondent that neither Barcelona have the financial muscle to meet PSG’s demands nor have the French side been in any rush to do the Catalans any favours.
Failure to sign Neymar will likely leave a lot of damage to repair between Neymar and PSG, Barcelona’s board and the fans, and Barcelona players who were offered to PSG as part of a potential deal.
“The bomb was deactivated at the last minute but the trail of the burnt fuse has left cracks in the ground, cracks in many relationships,” source said.
Real coach Zinedine Zidane said on Saturday there could be “one or two surprises” before the Monday transfer deadline.
“As for any possible last-minute arrivals, the club ruled out the arrival of Neymar a couple of days ago but with the Brazilian, you never know,” AS said.
“The latest information yesterday (Saturday) was that he would not be joining Barcelona and it is not impossible that Madrid could make a late entry into the bidding.”
