BRAZILIAN superstar Neymar could join Paris Saint-Germain, if the French giant pays his huge 193 million euros (US$220 million) get-out clause, his agent said Monday.

    “Neymar has a contract with Barcelona until 2018,” Wayne Ribeiro told French sports daily L’Equipe. “But the prospect of living in a city like Paris, and to play for a club like PSG is also a dream for every player.

    “That’s to say if PSG showed interest in Neymar we could talk about it.”

    PSG has dominated Ligue 1 since the Qatari takeover of the French capital club in 2011. Laurent Blanc’s men wrapped up their fourth successive league title in record time in March, and face Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first leg at the Parc des Princes.

    And with Zlatan Ibrahimovic courted by some of Europe’s top clubs, in possibly his last season in France, PSG has identified Neymar as its No. 1 target before the new season starts in August.

    Ribeiro added: “A contract can also be dissolved on condition of paying the release clause. It’s huge — 193 million euros.

    “But I don’t think that would be an insurmountable problem for PSG.”

    Ribeiro’s comments caused a stir in Spain, with Barcelona defender Gerard Pique suggesting he could never envisage Neymar leaving the European champion.

    “Neymar’s not going to leave Barcelona, I’m certain of that, I know him and I know he won’t be leaving,” the Spanish international told a press conference ahead of the Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Atletico Madrid.(SD-Agencies)
