Barcelona have given Neymar permission to miss training amid speculation of a world-record transfer to Paris St Germain.
The Brazil forward has been heavily linked with a 222 million euro (£199million) move to the Ligue 1 club this summer.
And Barcelona confirmed on Wednesday the 25-year-old had been allowed to miss training.
The statement read;
The player Neymar Jr, accompanied by his father and agent, has informed FC Barcelona this morning of his decision to leave the Club in a meeting held at the Club’s offices.
Faced with this position, the Club has informed them they refer to the buy-out clause of his existing contract which as of 1 July totals €222million which will have to be deposited in its entirety.
Furthermore, in reply to the claim for the contract extension bonus, the Club has once again made it clear that the amount remains deposited with a notary until the case is resolved.
The player remains under contract at FC Barcelona but with temporary permission to not take part in training sessions.”
