Neymar rejected PSG, United: agent
LONDON • Neymar's agent Wagner Ribeiro has revealed the Brazilian footballer was offered a tax-free £650,000 (S$1.17 million) a week to sign for Paris Saint-Germain in the close season for a transfer fee that would have almost doubled the existing record.
The French champions were ready to sign the forward, who was also close to a move to Manchester United for €190 million (S$290 million), but "he renewed his contract for less money with Barcelona because he wanted to stay in Barcelona".
