As soon as the news of Neymar staying with PSG reached the dressing room, the players teased him with infamous ‘se queda’ reference.

Just days after the Instagram post, Neymar left La Liga side for PSG. Post the international break when the French league resumes, we may see Neymar getting back on the pitch. Thomas Tuchel had left the Brazilian out of the squad up until now asking him to sort out his future.

The alleged reason behind Neymar’s failure to join Barcelona is the refusal of Ousmane Dembele to join PSG. The winger, one of the players involved in the cash plus player deal, quoted a higher fees which the Parisians were not willing to pay.
