A day after Barcelona allowed Neymar for a move to Paris Saint Germain, La Liga refused to accept a €222 million payment from PSG the Brazilian’s buyout clause.

The transfer saga of Neymar Jr. keeps getting interesting as Neymar is already reported to be in Porto for a medical for the French club. Barcelona released a statement on Wednesday that the 25-year old bid farewell to his teammates before leaving with his father and agent.

Lionel Messi also posted an emotional farewell for his teammate from his official Instagram account wishing him good luck for his future.

After returning from a publicity event in China on Tuesday night, Neymar drove into Barcelona’s training centre in Sant Joan Despi half an hour before a scheduled practice session. He stayed in Barcelona training ground for 30 minutes.

According to Mundo Deportivo, La Liga president Javier Tebas has threatened to take PSG to court if European football’s governing body UEFA failed to take action. He also claimed that PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi had been made aware of the Spanish league’s intentions.

According to the statement by Spanish giants, Neymar remains under contract at FC Barcelona but with temporary permission to not take part in training sessions.
