The superstar Neymar, whose discussions for a transfer from Paris SG to Barcelona hold the football world in suspense, was present Thursday in the training of the Paris club.
Under the gaze of numerous journalists, French and foreign, the Brazilian entered last on the lawn of the Camp des lodges, letting the suspense hang around his participation.
He completed his tour of the field alongside his compatriot Thiago Silva, before taking part in the exercises designed by the staff during the quarter of an hour open to the press.
A few minutes before the start of this session, an Italian journalist from Skysport, a mercato specialist and behind a lot of serious news, announced that an agreement had been reached between Paris and Barcelona for the return to Spain of the most expensive in history, recruited in 2017 against 222 million euros.
For its part, Catalan radio RAC1 assured that Barça president Josep Maria Bartomeu was present in Monaco - where the draw of the group stage of the Champions League is to be held at 18:00 (16:00 GMT) - to take the reins negotiations with the Paris club for the first time on this issue.
The radio evokes "the most important meeting so far" between the two parties.
A press conference by Paris SG coach Thomas Tuchel is scheduled at 17:45 (15:45 GMT), as part of the pre-match of the fourth day of L1 which will see PSG move to Metz Friday night.
Until then, the German explained that he did not play "Ney" as his situation was not settled, which makes the presence of the Brazilian very uncertain in Metz.
