Brazil coach Tite: Neymar has told me he's waiting for PSG sale

Brazil coach Tite has revealed Neymar is waiting to leave PSG.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are battling to sign the Brazil captain.

"I asked [Neymar] how he was emotionally due to his situation and he said: 'I am calm, I know there is a way out and now I'm waiting for PSG to resolve the situation,'" Tite said at a press conference in Rio de Janeiro, after speaking with Neymar by phone.

"He told me that he was happy, that he's been working out for a while and that he hasn't been doing tactical work, but that he was fine," Tite added.

"[I cannot do without a player] of the level and quality [of Neymar]."
