Exclusive Neymar Interview Stolen as Brazilian Finally Engages in PSG Talks

An exclusive interview Neymar conducted with Brazilian tv show ‘Aqui na Band’ has been stolen from the production team’s car, having been scheduled to appear on Monday night.

The saga of Neymar’s mooted return to Barcelona took another turn over the weekend, when quotes emerged of the 26-year-old claiming his best memory as a footballer was the 6-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain when he was a Barca player.

And, as reported by AS, it now appears that recordings from a subsequent interview regarding 

the player’s ‘future plans’ have been stolen from the boot of the UOL Esporte car. The interview was scheduled to be broadcast on Monday night, though this has now been put under threat.

The news comes after the Brazilian finally returned to Europe on Monday morning to meet with current side Paris Saint-Germain about his situation.

For what it’s worth, Neymar has maintained he was given permission to miss this week by former sporting director Antero Henrique, and some have claimed he officially told the club of his desire to leave during the meeting.
