Until the money is in the Blaugrana’s bank account, Barça will not give the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) the green light to send Neymar’s international transfer certificate.

Neymar could make PSG debut against Guingamp

The Brazilian winger, whose move to Paris shattered the world transfer record, did not make his debut in Ligue 1 against Amiens. It is expected that this matter will be resolved, and he will be eligible to face Guingamp in the second match of the season.
