The fact that the player's trusted lawyers are in Barcelona suggests his departure could be moving closer

The player's father was at the MetLife Stadium last night to watch Juve-Barça, but did not want to comment

To understand the “Neymar case”, it’s not enough to just look at the player. Or at his dad, who was at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to see his son score twice on Saturday. While Neymar is focussing on getting himself ready for the new season and his father and Barça are trying to find a solution, there are other important details going on in Paris and Barcelona.

As SPORT has learned, and the Brazilian journalist Marcelo Bechler has also reported, Neymar’s lawyers, Gustavo Xisto and Altamiro Bezerra have been in Barcelona for the past few days, which suggests something is cooking, or at least should be. The lawyers have travelled to Barcelona to work on cancelling the player’s contract, which the player seemed to be on the verge of doing. However, the Barça squad have convinced Neymar to reconsider.

Bechler also reported that Antero Henrique, PSG’s sporting director, met Pini Zahavi in Paris. Zahavi is an agent authorised by Neymar to negotiate a deal with PSG.
