World-record transfer signing Neymar is causing a storm within the Paris Saint-Germain ranks as teammates are becoming increasingly unhappy with the special privileges the former Barcelona man has been afforded since arriving at the Parc des Princes.

The Brazil international made his €222m (£199m) switch from the Camp Nou to the French capital during the summer, and, as you would expect, receives the most luxurious of treatments within his new home.

According to Le Parisien, as cited by Marca, the 25-year-old has two personal physiotherapists at his disposal, which in their remit states they are only permitted to attend to the former Santos academy graduate, in training his teammates are not allowed to tackle him too hard and he is also exempt from defensive duties during matches.
