Ex-Barcelona president Gaspart: PSG using Neymar as retaliation

Former Barcelona president Joan Gaspart has dismissed concerns of Neymar leaving for PSG.

PSG are prepared to pay Neymar's €222m buyout clause to prise him away from Barca this summer.

However, Gaspart is convinced PSG are playing games over Barca's pursuit of Marco Verratti.

He told RAC-1: "Neymar will not leave Barcelona. What happens is that PSG is annoyed by the operation to transfer one of its players and that these stories are retaliation.

"With this retaliation they try to make trouble with Neymar."
