Neymar Senior spoke to Telefoot to explain how Neymar's will was decisive to complete the world record transfer to PSG: "I was sincerely surprised by his choice to go to PSG. There was an offer last year, but no agreement was found. This year, Neymar decided to go to PSG to help with their mission to win the Champions League. The truth is that I was skeptical until the final second. I was told Neymar that the best option would to stay at Barcelona, but he wanted to leave his comfort zone. Everyone tried to convince him to stay: Messi, Piqué, Suarez. In the end, he really wanted PSG."
"We were really proud of his presentation. To see his name on the Eiffel Tower was incredible. He loves everything in Paris and it will be a great experience." In closing, Neymar Senior spoke about his disagreement with Cavani and the Ballon d'Or: "It was all exaggerated, Cavani and Neymar are both great players. There are no problems. The Ballon d'Or? If he has to win it then he will win it. He doesn't think much about it and if he really wanted it then he would have stayed at Barcelona because he had everything there."
