Neymar Plays Down Father's Influence Amid Ongoing Speculation on His PSG Future

Neymar has insisted that he makes the final decision about his future, not his father.

The Paris Saint-Germain superstar continues to be linked to Real Madrid just a year on from his £200 million departure from Barcelona. While he praised his father's influence as his agent and adviser, Neymar said he makes the decisions about his career, per Brazilian magazine VIP (via Dejan Kalinic of Goal).
