Neymar was seen at Porto Airport on Wednesday evening after escaping Barcelona.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old didn\u2019t train on Wednesday and has been given permission to leave Barcelona, the club confirmed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Several of his team-mates had been fed up with his actions and demanded he tell them the truth about where his future lies \u2014 and he confirmed he is going.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An official Barcelona statement read:\u201cThe player Neymar Jr, accompanied by his father and agent, has informed FC Barcelona this morning of his decision to leave the club in a meeting held at the club\u2019s offices.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFaced with this position, the club has informed them they refer to the buy-out clause of his existing contract which as of 1 July totals \u20ac222million (\u00a3196m) which will have to be deposited in its entirety.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFurthermore, in reply to the claim for the contract extension bonus, the club has once again made it clear that the amount remains deposited with a notary until the case is resolved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe player remains under contract at FC Barcelona but with temporary permission to not take part in training sessions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cShortly we will add the comments of club spokesman Josep Vives on the subject of Neymar.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And his world record \u00a3196million move to Paris Saint-Germain is expected to be completed before the end of the week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Brazilian superstar\u2019s future has dominated this summer\u2019s transfer window.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many of his Nou Camp team-mates had demanded answers as to where Neymar will start the season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Andres Iniesta previously told the club he believed keeping the former Santos striker was more useful than the \u00a3200m his sale would bring in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
