Twitter melts down as Barcelona confirm Neymar departure

​

International Champions Cup 2017 - Real Madrid v FC Barcelona

Barcelona have just confirmed that Brazilian superstar Neymar would like the leave the club. The 25-year-old was given permission to miss training, and will travel to meet with his father to examine the contract offer that PSG have placed on the table.

The move is set to obliterate the world record transfer fee, currently held by Paul Pogba when he moved from Juventus to Manchester United for €105m.

Predictably, Twitter went wild as Barcelona fans and the entire football universe reacted to the stunning news.

Barcelona have just comfirmed that Neymar have asked to leave.

I understand he will also be Ambassador for World Cup in Qatar 2022.

Neymar officially asking to leave the day after Liverpool demolish Bayern. I hope he knows there's no room in the Liverpool XI for him.

Hazard left France at 21 to pursue bigger things.

Neymar goes to France at 25 because he couldn't hack a decent league.

Levels.

In fact it would be quite nice to see some PSG players forcing a PSG shirt over Neymar's head.

Just an idea but: Barça ditch Qatar as sponsor, amidst talk of how it's not right etc, etc, Qatar take revenge with PSG?
