Neymar will be unveiled as a Paris Saint Germain player in an official ceremony on Friday at 1.30pm in Paris - 12.30pm UK time - to end a saga unlike anything seen in football before.



The Brazilian left Barcelona for the last time after completing his world record move to PSG, and touched down in Paris mid-morning on Friday.

He was greeted on the tarmac by recently retired PSG left back and Brazil international Maxwell, now an ambassador for the club, before leaving La Bourget airport amidst a motorcade of people carriers.






The striker earlier arrived at Barcelona airport to catch a flight to Paris where he will be officially unveiled after his £198million transfer.

The fee - the amount which was included in his Barca contract as a release clause - is £109m higher than the previous world record fee, the £89m paid by Manchester united for Paul Pogba.

Neymar was unsurprisingly mobbed as he arrived at departures in Barcelona, both by photographers and by desperate fans.

Two young supporters managed to get close to the Brazilian superstar, one asking for a final autograph, the other putting his arm around Neymar's shoulder.

The striker was later spotted going through airport security, ahead of his flight to the French capital, completing an astonishing move totally unexpected when the transfer window opened.
