Neymar’s agent, Wagner Ribeiro, told ESPN Brasil that his client was very close to leaving Barcelona this summer for either PSG or Manchester United.

The Brazilian forward recently signed a new five-year-deal at Barcelona, which reportedly included a buy-out clause of €190m.

Manchester United and PSG have long been linked to the 24-year-old Neymar and his agent revealed the astronomical figures PSG offered his client.

PSG OFFERED NEYMAR €770,000 A WEEK

Neymar’s agent claimed both PSG and Manchester United were offering him more money to leave but Neymar had intention of leaving the Camp Nou quite yet.

“He was close to joining PSG,” said Wagner Ribeiro. “He would have earned €40 million a year net (€770,000 a week).”

“Neymar was also close to a spell at Manchester United, but he extended his contract to earn less at Barcelona because he wanted to stay at Barcelona.”
“PSG were willing to pay his €190 million release clause, Manchester United were interested but PSG were closer to signing him.”

Anyone else think Neymar’s agent is just making up numbers from the top of his head?
