“I formed an attack with Messi and Luis Suarez that has been left for the story. I’ve conquered everything a sportsman can conquer. I’ve lived unforgettable moments! I live in a city that’s more than a city, it’s a country. I love Barcelona and catalonia.
“But a sportsman (me) needs challenges.

Dad, I understand and respect your opinion, but my decision is made, I ask you to support me as you always have.

“I have accepted the PSG-Paris Saint-Germain proposal to search for new conquests and help the club achieve the titles that the hobby awaits. I have been presented with a bold career plan and I look ready for this challenge.
“I appreciate the love of the wonderful hobby blaugrana and everything I’ve learned with the athletes I’ve shared costumes with.
“I also feel in my heart that the time has come to leave. The PSG will be my new home for the next few years and I will work to honor the trust they deposit in my football. I count a lot with everyone’s support. Amateurs who have been with me since 2009, of my friends, of the professionals who accompany me and my family, who have suffered a lot from problems that have occurred in this period of my career and which today deserve peace.
“It’s a difficult decision, but taken with the maturity of my 25 years.
FC Barcelona, thanks for everything!
PSG, I’m coming!
May God bless us and protect us!”

We won't break the vault to sign Neymar – Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has likened Manchester United’s chances of signing Barcelona’s Neymar to the breaking a vault.  The Brazilian has again been linked with Old Trafford, a week after revealing his ambitions for the Premier League and confessing his admiration for 4 clubs in England; Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. Mourinho insists the move is not feasible as the Catalans will never part ways with one of their huge assets.

Manchester United are preparing an offer for Neymar, according to Sport 

The Portuguese told ESPN, ‘I always try to be objective and pragmatic with the clubs and ask the clubs for what can be given to me. Neymar is absurd, A club like Barcelona cannot and will not lose Neymar. Although Messi is still a young player with years to go, he is already 30, and Neymar will be the great player of Barcelona after Messi. I think (trying to sign him is like) going to try to break into a safe, impossible.’

Neymar and Messi may be barred from UK.

If Barcelona (by stroke of luck) turn around their 4-0 deficit in the second leg game against PSG and get through to the Champions League final, the  Spanish giants will be without the attacking duo of Lionel Messi and Neymar who might be denied entry into the UK due to their ongoing tax evasion cases.

UEFA President, Aleksander Ceferin made the revelation in a recent interview with New York Times. He said the duo will not be allowed to play at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium in June as a result of the Brexit issue. Once Britain leaves the European Union, people with existing legal issues could be banned from coming into the country, and Messi and Neymar fall into that category.
Recall that, PSG defender, Serge Aurier was denied entry into the UK for their game against Arsenal at the Emirates last November.

“Neymar and Lionel Messi both have procedures going on. This year, the Champions League final is in Cardiff. Imagine if they did not let them in. That is a big thing for us, if players from England can travel anywhere but players from other teams cannot travel to England. With free movement in Europe, it is much better.

Even in 2020, if ‘Brexit’ has happened, then it can be a big problem for fans. That stays firm, and we will speak to the British government, and I am sure the English Football Association will help us.” Aleksander Ceferin  revealed.
