Neymar Jr finally showed his face after Brazil’s elimination from the World Cup. His first comments were a declaration of intentions to stop Real Madrid in their tracks.

“I’m staying. I’m staying in Paris. Everyone knows the love I have for the president, for PSG, for the fans. My relations with the club are good. I have a contract in vigour. I came to the club for a challenge, for new things, new objectives and that has not changed in my head,” said the Brazilian in Sao Paulo.

“I hope this season starting will be one of a lot of success, we’ll look for titles, including the one we have not won (the Champions League).”

Asked about the Madrid link, Neymar said: “The press invent these stories and speculations, they speculate too much, all that is very heavy.”

 

Florentino Perez will have to look elsewhere to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
