Thomas Tuchel Says He Found out Neymar Wanted to Leave PSG Before Copa America

Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel said on Tuesday that he found out Neymar wanted to leave the club before the start of the 2019 Copa America in June.

The German spoke to RMC (h/t Get French Football News) about the Brazil international following PSG's 6-1 pre-season friendly win over Dynamo Dresden:

"I am always disappointed when a player turns up late. But it is clear between us, now it is between the club and Ney. We work together. Did I know he wanted to leave? Yes, I found out before the Copa America. But it is something between the club and Ney.
