It all started like a joke. The usual ridiculous transfer rumours that often pervade the web during transfer windows. The rumour of Neymar moving to PSG from Barca was funny, but moving for a fee of €222 million was outright ridiculous. So we ignored the rumours. But the rumours persisted and endured. And today, the 3rd of August 2017, Neymar's transfer to PSG is finally official.
While Barca fans may hate him and neutrals remain befuddled by the fee, here are 5 reasons why we should take a moment to analyse the advantages of this huge transfer.

1. MONEY: Neymar's salary at PSG has been revealed to be 515,000 pounds a week AFTER TAX. I repeat after tax! If Kanayo O. Kanayo did blood money from now till 2050 , it will not give him this type of money. Neymar is now the highest paid footballer in the world, even surpassing Messi and Ronaldo. This ensures him and his family are made for life.

2. BALLON D'OR CONSIDERATION : For the past 8 years, the ballon d'or award has been a tug of war contest between Ronaldo and Messi. Other players are nominated for the award merely to find a player for 3rd position. For someone as talented as Neymar, this must have been inwardly infuriating. Moving to PSG is a chance to highlight his name as a true contender for the award.

3. MORE TROPHIES: In Neymar's first season at Barca, he helped them win the highly sought after treble. This includes champions league, La liga and the Copa del rey trophy. The skillful player proceeded to win more trophies in his remaining years at Barca. Realistically, there is nothing new that Barca has to offer him, whereas with PSG, he can help them win the champions league for the first time in their history.
In addition to that, he can begin his quest to conquer Europe by winning the Ligue 1 trophy from Monaco. After this , he could win the leagues in England, Italy and Germany.

4. LEGACY: Let's be honest, as long as Messi remains in Barca, Neymar and Suarez will always be in 2nd place. Neymar realized this and he is courageous enough to seek a move to a league where he will be regarded as the best. In Ligue 1, his talents, skill and expertise will finally be showcased for the world to see. This would ensure his name is crested as one of the great footballers of this generation.

5. MARKETABILITY OF BRAZILIAN PLAYERS: A brazillian player being the most expensive player of all time will no doubt increase the allure of other Brazilian players. The Brazilian league will soon be inundated with transfer requests for more players. This will improve the standard of the league and consequently improve the Brazilian economy.

Neymar is made for life!!!

okay

He has just made the biggest mistake of his life. he can only be the worlds best in barcelona. messi is aging and neymar was next in line for barcelona. messi even sacrificed his position in the club dropping deep into midfield just to aid neymar and suarez. all neymar needed was to stop missing one on one chances he is known for and the sky would be his limit. neymar had all the support in the world to make him great and he has just jeopardised that by moving to psg. note.. for him to be a world best, he must win champions league once or twice and i dont see him doing that in psg. with his addition to the psg squad, they still wount be able to measure up to barcelonas class. you musnt be a world best by playing for all the teams in the world but by winning all trophies attainable either for a club or more. he has won a legue title, copa del rey, champions league and club world cup. all he needs now is a world best award to crown it and he left for a lesser league. we must also note that as long as messi and ronaldo liveth, he will never outshine them. these guys are blessed and score lots of goals while neymar is a pro in missing 1 on ones.

I disagree with you. Messi has a contract with Barca until 2021. That's about 4 years and by that time Neymar will be 29 years old. If he does not achieve the peak of his career now, when will he achieve it?

Lord Jesus..
open my book of remembrance....
I was once denied visa entry to France, for trials at PSG to be precised..
but I tap into neymar,s breakthrough story...
am next in line for a testimony....

And now, do you know Mbappe is more relevant than Neymar in PSG at the moment?

They will happily sell Neymar before Mbappe! He didn't see that coming before his transfer.

You are right however there's no harm in trying. Better to have tried and failed than remain in Barca like Bale did in Madrid
