Brazil superstar Neymar Jr cried twice during negotiations between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, as per reports in Spain.

Apparently, Neymar had second thoughts about moving to Ligue 1 and tried to stop the deal from going through by pleading with Barca chief Josep Maria Bartomeu. However, by then tensions between the club and the player had reached its breaking point. Neymar’s pleas were ignored as Barcelona accepted an eye watering world record transfer fee of €222 million from Paris Saint-Germain.

“Remember me, I want to come back,” said Neymar reportedly as a parting message to the Catalans.
