BRASحLIA (AFP) - Neymar returned to Paris Saint-Germain on Monday, the football star's press office said, after remarks he made about his former team Barcelona sparked controversy.
"He will appear tomorrow at the club," a member of Newymar's press team told AFP, though the "exact time" of Neymar's trip to the French capital was unknown.
Neymar and PSG have been in a war of words after the Brazilian star missed the team's first training session earlier this month and the club vowed to take "appropriate action."
Neymar has insisted that he had a prior agreement from PSG to stay in Brazil to help his foundation, the Neymar Institute.
On Saturday, 27-year-old Neymar made a series of remarks that strained his relationship with the club and sparked outrage on social media.
Asked by online sports channel Oh My Goal about his best changing room memory, the world's most expensive player said it was Barcelona's incredible 2017 comeback 6-1 win over PSG, which Neymar helped inflict on his current club.
