Neymar: I Am Extremely Happy To Join PSG

“Since I arrived in Europe, the club has always been one of the most competitive and most ambitious”, Neymar said of PSG

Brazilian striker Neymar completed a world record move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday and have expressed his happiness.

The 25-year-old forward doubled the previous record fee with his 222 million euro ($264 million) move from Barcelona and will earn a reported 30 million euros ($35.5 million) a year under the new five-year-deal.

“I am extremely happy to join Paris Saint-Germain,” Neymar said late Thursday.

“Since I arrived in Europe, the club has always been one of the most competitive and most ambitious. And the biggest challenge, what most motivated me to join my new teammates is to help the club to conquer the titles that their fans want.

“Paris Saint-Germain’s ambition attracted me to the club, along with the passion and the energy this brings. I played four seasons in Europe and I feel ready to take the challenge.

“From today, I will do everything I can to help my new teammates, to open up new horizons for my club and to bring happiness to its millions of supporters around the world.”

PSG said that Neymar will appear at a press conference at the club’s Parc des Princes at 1130GMT on Friday.

He will then be presented to fans at the same ground at 1345GMT on Saturday before the season-opening Ligue 1 fixture against promoted Amiens.
