Jose Mourinho has his say on Neymar's PSG move
Not often you find yourself agreeing with Jose Mourinho, is it? But on this occasion he's talking mega sense.
Here's what he had to say when asked about Neymar's £198m move to PSG.
“When we signed Paul Pogba, I said he was not expensive. Expensive are the ones that get to a certain level without a certain quality.
“I don’t think £200m for Neymar is expensive.
“Expensive is the fact there will now be more players at £100m, more players at £50m, more players at £60m - that’s the problem.
“Neymar is one of the best players in the world, so commercially that is very strong but the problem is not Neymar - the problem is the consequences.”
You might still argue that the Pogba fee was 'expensive (based on last season's performances at least) but he's bang on otherwise.
In other news, the potential world record deal was thrown in to doubt earlier today when La Liga officials refused to accept payment of the Brazilian's release clause. Apparently they're concerned that PSG are breaking financial fair play rules with the deal. Surely that's for UEFA to decide though, lads? Banter.
In summary, it's most likely still happening.
