FRENCH soccer champions Paris Saint-Germain arrived in Shenzhen on Wednesday to start their China tour.

Brazilian soccer star Neymar was included in the squad that head coach Thomas Tuchel took to China ahead of games in Macao, Suzhou and Shenzhen.

With doubts still lingering as to where the Brazilian striker will play the soccer next season, the player is still involved in pre-season activities with the Ligue 1 side. The French side will face Serie A’s Inter Milan in Macao on Saturday and Australian Sydney FC in Suzhou on July 30. Their final game in Asia will be the French Super Cup against Stade Rennais in Shenzhen on Aug. 3.

With speculation linking the player to a Barcelona return starting to abate, it now seems that the Brazilian will wear the red, white and blue shirt next season in Ligue 1. PSG also issued a communique stating the Brazilian’s injury is progressing favorably ahead of the squad flying to China.

The French side is still without a series of players who were involved in 2019 summer competitions and July 31 is the date earmarked for a return for the likes of Di Maria, Marquinhos, Paredes, Cavani, and Thiago Silva (Copa America) along with Camerron’s Choupo-Moting (CAN 2019).
