Neymar said on Saturday that "everyone knows" he wanted to leave French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window.

The Brazilian told reporters he tried his best to quit the Parc des Princes, but the Ligue 1 side would not let him depart.

"Everyone knows I wanted to leave. I made it very clear. I won't go into details though, because it affects others. But I'm still a PSG player and my intention is to be happy on the pitch. My mind is on PSG.

"I always made it clear that I don't have anything against PSG or the fans.
