PSG to take 'action' after Neymar misses training

TIL Desk Sports/ Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have said they would take action after Brazil forward Neymar failed to attend the first day of pre-season training. The 27-year-old had been expected to show up at the club”s training facilities on Monday, less than 24 hours after he attended Brazil”s 3-1 victory over Peru in the Copa America final at Rio”s Maracana stadium.

“PSG notes that Neymar Jr was not in attendance at the agreed time and place. This was without the club”s prior authorisation,” a club statement read. “The club regrets this situation.” The former Barcelona and Santos star”s absence coincides with speculation linking him with a return to the Camp Nou.

The Catalan club”s president, Josep Bartomeu, said last week that Neymar wanted to leave the French club and reports in Spanish media have claimed the Brazilian is willing to take a pay cut to facilitate a return to Spain. Neymar has scored 34 goals in 37 top-flight appearances for PSG since his world record 222 million-euro move from the current La Liga champions. But his time in Paris has been blighted by injuries and off-field controversies.
