Neymar could make public plea to leave PSG after Copa América

Neymar is willing to make a public plea to leave Paris Saint-Germain, and force their club president, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, to act on his desire to move to Barcelona, per reports.

Mundo Deportivo says that Neymar has spoken with Al-Khelaïfi in private and told him that he intends to leave, but that the next step could be a public declaration. Diario SPORT echos this, saying Barcelona want him to make a public statement and the player has said he is willing to do that if that’s what it takes.

Both papers agree that Neymar has decided he will not make any declaration prior to the end of the Copa América, out of respect for his Brazilian teammates.
