Once Neymar had signed his renewal with Barcelona the pursuit of the player by Paris Saint-Germain came to an end, but not before his agent had received an incredible offer for the Brazilian to move to Ligue1.
The French side had long courted the striker but not even the promise of a multi-million pound contract was enough to lure him from Catalonia.
Wagner Ribeiro revealed in an interview with ESPN just how badly PSG wanted their man.
“He would’ve earned 40 million euros per year but Neymar preferred to renew with Barcelona, even though he would be earning less money.
“PSG were also willing to pay his buyout clause of 190m euros.
“Manchester United were interested, but PSG were closer to his signature had he decided to leave.”
