PSG chief Leonardo raps Barcelona president Bartomeu over Neymar claims

PSG sports chief Leonardo was left unimpressed by Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu's claims regarding Neymar this week.

At Frenkie de Jong's signing ceremony, Bartomeu suggested Neymar wants to leave PSG and return to the Calatans.

"We know that Neymar wants to leave PSG, but PSG does not want Neymar to. So, there is no Neymar affair," he insisted.

In response, Leonardo warned Bartomeu any move would have to involve negotiation.

"They said that they wanted to buy, but we are not sellers. He's the one saying it ... But we do not see that Barcelona is really in a buying position. You have to talk and negotiate, that's all," he said.
