Marquinhos: Neymar didn't tell me he was joining

Marquinhos has denied that he was told that Neymar would join Paris Saint-Germain.

The latest reports have the Barcelona star moving to the Parc des Princes, and telling the Brazilians who already play there (Marquinhos himself, Dani Alves and Lucas Moura) that he was going to join the Ligue 1 giants.
 

“I don’t know if he warned PSG’s Brasilians,” he is reported to have said by Le Parisien, “In any case, he hasn’t told me (laughs)!”.

“But I am leaving the directors to talk about it. Me, I don’t know much.

“If he comes, he’d be an exceptional player more, who would help us a lot.”  

Marquinhos, who has ironically been linked to Barcelona, seems to be echoing what captain Thiago Silva said yesterday.

“He’d be an interesting player to flank PSG’s strategy. For the moment, however, the most important thing is to prepare the season well”.

PSG were reported to be ready to spend €222 million on Neymar’s release clause.
