Barcelona release Neymar to make his PSG debut

Barcelona have accepted PSG's bid formally for Neymar.

Before Neymar could take to the field withPSG, he needed Barcelona to send on his international transfer certificate, but they were waiting until they had received his transfer fee of €222 million.

That money has now been paid into the Camp Nou accounts, so the certificate - which makes sure a player cannot be registered with two clubs at once - has been released and he could now make his debut in French football in Sunday's match away at Guingamp, having been unable to play against Amiens last week.

"Now that Barcelona have received and cashed the cheque, the transfer is being processed," a source at the Catalan club confirmed to AFP.
