This summer, Neimar was in the center of the main transfer saga, which culminated in his transition from Barcelona to PSG for 222 million euros.
A few days before his departure, the defender of Barcelona Gerard Pique published a joint photo with a Brazilian on his Twitter page, which accompanied the signature: "He remains".
Now Piquet claims that this was just an attempt to keep Neimar in the club.
"Now, when this has already happened, I can explain everything. Even at the wedding of Messi, we were aware of his desire to leave. The next day I published this tweet, knowing 100% that he would leave. But this was my last attempt to stop it, although it did not work, "said Pique.
"He got mad at me, but we settled it.". I do not think we should judge Neimar. He made his decision, a bold decision. Obviously, he had reasons to leave, and I do not know whether they are connected with the financial side or sports ".
