Brazilian striker, Neymar has just been
unveiled by Paris Saint-Germain following
his £198million move from Barcelona.
The striker who sealed a five-year contract
deal with the French club, will earn a weekly
pay of £500,000 (£26 million a year).
At the press conference held this afternoon,
Neymar said: ‘The club has a very similar
ambition to mine, I want a bigger challenge.
My heart made this decision, that is why I
am in front of you today to help this team.
‘Being a star did not impact my decision, it is
down to me wanting to find a new
challenge. I am looking for something new.
This is what PSG want, and they deserve it.
‘I leave a lot of very good friends behind, but
that’s football. You make friends wherever
you go, and that’s the main thing. It was the
right time to leave and look for something
different. Being the most expensive player is
not a burden, I am happy.
‘I spoke with Brazilian players here at PSG,
and they were happy for me to be here. I
feel like I am at home already.
‘Two days ago I informed the coach, he was
the first to know, I respect the club and the
coach. I am very happy with my decision, I
am excited.’
Hundreds of fans of the football club, are
presently in a long queue in Champs Elysees,
Paris, to purchase a replica of Neymar’s
No.10 jersey.
