The ink is finally dry on the biggest transfer deal in football history involving 25-year-old whiz kid from Brazil Neymar Jr. The former Barcelona striker invoked a clause in his contract allowing him to buy out the remainder of his deal for 263-million dollars. He then immediately signed a new deal making him the new superstar of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) a football club where Neymar is expected to be the focal point of the offense. The new team is expected to be centered around him and his incredible skills, taking him out of the shadows cast by playing with the world’s best player, Lionel Messi. Though the deal is likely a great opportunity for Neymar, it has brought up an interesting debate. Some have said Neymar’s leaving Barcelona may tip the scales in the greatest football rivalry of our time between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Barcelona star Lionel Messi has signed a new long term deal at Camp Nou, according to latest reports.
