FC Barcelona fans might be starting to panic
One of the biggest rumours in the past few days has centred on claims Neymar could be about to leave Barcelona to join PSG.
Last week reports spilled out of Brazil claiming that PSG are ready to landed the 25-year-old star for a staggering 222 million euros.
Yet, despite those stories, Neymar was in action for the Catalans on Saturday night in America against Juventus.
The striker starred for Barca, as he scored two brilliant goals against the Bianconeri in his forty-five minutes on the pitch in the first half.
Leo Messi drops hint
On Sunday morning, eagled-eyed social media followers have noticed something odd on Leo Messi’s Instagram page.
It looks like Messi has deleted all his pictures alongside Neymar from the social network.
Why would Messi erase Neymar? Is this a sign the Brazilian is indeed on his way from the Camp Nou to the Parc de Princes this summer?
It’s definitely very odd…

The rumour mill
If anything, the sensational two goals scored by Neymar have only focused minds even further as both Barcelona and PSG jostle for their positions in this summer transfer saga.
The big news from New Jersey where over 80,000 watched Barcelona play Juventus was that Neymar’s father was in attendance.
Neymar Santos Sr appeared in the Mixed Zone but did not speak to any media.
After the game, Neymar’s father was spotted leaving the stadium with the directors of Barcelona and returned to the hotel with the La Liga giants.
Sport suggest that Neymar’s father was there to arrange Neymar’s departure to PSG.

PSG players silent on Neymar
The Catalan paper also report that PSG players did not attend a press conference after their 4-2 friendly defeat to Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has reiterated his desire to keep Neymar at Barcelona.
And, Catalan radio is also reporting on Sunday morning that Gerard Pique has attempted to talk to Neymar about his future at Barcelona.
Pique has argued that Neymar will have more success at Barcelona and will be relied upon too much at PSG…
The Neymar circus seems likely to continue until Wednesday when Barcelona face Manchester United in their next pre-season friendly.
