The club's former sporting director Leonardo claims a player signed for €222 million over the summer had been a target for a number of years
Paris Saint-Germain’s record-breaking €222 million deal for Neymar saw them bring a six-year chase to a close, Leonardo has revealed.
The Brazilian forward left Barcelona for the French capital over the summer, but could have been at Parc des Princes several years earlier.
His fellow countryman Leonardo, who worked as PSG’s sporting director between 2011 and 2013, claims the Ligue 1 giants had expressed a strong interest in Neymar while he was still on the books at Santos.
