Neymar signs for PSG in world record transfer

    Neymar has signed for Paris St-Germain for a world record fee of 222m euro (£198m).

    The 25-year-old’s transfer has smashed the previous record of £89m, when Paul Pogba moved to Manchester United from Juventus in August 2016.

    A 5-year deal has been made for the Brazilian, who leaves Barcelona with a record of two La Liga titles and one Champions League victory.

    He will earn 45m euros (£40.7m) a year - 865,000 euros (£782,000) a week.
