Neymar Storms Out Of Barca Training

FC Barcelona superstar Neymar was reportedly involved in a heated bust-up that saw him walk out of training, amid increased rumours he could soon leave the Blaugrana.

The 25-year-old apparently clashed with Nelson Semedo after a rough tackle by the new signing during a practice game, according to the Daily Mail.

While Semedo was ready to continue the match, Neymar gestured towards the right back and had to be held back by Sergio Busquets.

Neymar then tore off his bib, angrily fired a ball off the crossbar and kicked another before walking off the pitch, while new Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde watched on.

The Brazilian, who has scored three goals on Barca’s US tour so far, reportedly left the training area entirely.

The incident happened amid speculation that PSG are edging closer to signing the Barcelona superstar. The French giants and Neymar’s father have apparently agreed a €30 million (R458 million) net annual salary, including several signing-on bonuses for the player and his father.

Further reports suggest that Neymar was supposed to head to a promotional event in China to promote Nike and Barcelona after the El Clasico on Sunday night, but the event has now apparently been cancelled.
