Two years after his record breaking transfer, one of the most surprising in history, Neymar's time at PSG has come to a much talked about end. PSG know that he will not be there next season, it is just a case of how much money they want for him.

When there is lots of hype, it usually leads to frustration when it does not go as planned. That is exactly how it is between the Brazilian and the club. The question is how much money will PSG get for him. 

PSG paid 222 million euros for Neymar in the transfer with the most media coverage in history. Now, there is no way that any club who buy him will pay that much for him. Barca are the front runners to buy him and Al Khelaifi must decide how much he will settle for to let Neymar leave. 

The PSG president himself offered him the opportunity to leave and they will do everything they can to help him leave as he has fallen out with the owner in recent days. In an interview with 'France Football', the president was very critical of Neymar and his father. 

While we wait for Barcelona to put in an offer which PSG are interested in, everything in the French media seems to indicate that he will leave. What's more, it is even what the club want. 

And everything will end badly. Neymar is accused of rape, he is injured, he kicked a fan and criticised the youngsters in the squad

Neymar's relationship with the coach, Thomas Tuchel, as well as the young star Kylian Mbappe, had also reached breaking point

All of that, in fact, takes away from Neymar's fantastic stats for the French club: 51 goals in 58 matches, as well as 26 assists in two seasons.
