On Thursday afternoon Neymar Jr's legal representatives visited in person the Club's offices and made the payment of 222 million euros in the player's name with regards to the unilateral termination of the contract that united both parties.

As such, the Club will pass on to UEFA the details of the above operation so that they can determine the disciplinary responsibilities that may arise from this case.

Neymar Jr bids farewell to Barça

The Brazilian used his Instagram account to publish some parting words to his now former club. “FC Barcelona has been more than a challenge” he says, adding that “I have experienced unforgettable moments in Barcelona" and making special reference to the two fellow members of the fearsome trident that he formed alongside Leo Messi and Luis Suárez.

He also says “thank you for the love shown by the Barça and for everything that I have learned from my playing colleagues. Barça and Catalonia wil always have a place in my heart but now I need new challenges.”

Most of his team-mates have also published words of thanks addressed at Neymar Jr on their own social networks and wished him well on his new venture at PSG
