Neymar joined Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record transfer, but now he's superstar no club seems to want

There should be a long line of clubs queuing up to sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, but despite being one of the world's most recognisable footballers -- and one with an incredible goal-scoring record to justify that billing -- the Brazil forward has become the superstar that nobody seems to want.

Financial realities and changing football philosophies have conspired to make signing the 30-year-old something which makes little or no sense to every club that could afford him.

Due to the terms of the three-year contract Neymar signed at Parc des Princes 12 months ago, an automatic 12-month extension to his deal will be triggered on July 1, so it would appear that he is committed to the French champions until his mid-30s.
