Paris Saint Germain mid- Fielder Marco Verratti has suggested Paris Saint Germain has nothing to do against Neymar's proposed switch to Barcelona, insisting that the club "must not keep a player who wants to leave".
Neymar joined the French champions for a world record £200 million ($246m) fee in the summer of 2017, ending a trophy-laden four-year spell at Barcelona.
The mercurial winger's attitude has been called into question on a number of other occasions and rumours of a return to Barcelona have emerged as a result.
Verratti does not wish to see Neymar leave Parc des Princes but feels PSG should sanction his departure if he no longer wants to be in the French capital.
"When a player really wants to leave, the club must let him go, according to the conditions set by the club, of course," the Italy midfielder told RMC Sport .
"But you must not keep a player who wants to leave. Of course, I would be disappointed to see him go.
"I never heard him say that he wanted to leave, after I don't know what he told the club. But personally, of course, I prefer to see him stay."
