Fox Sports Brazil quote Neymar Sr as saying: "The reason was known and planned for a year as part of his activities for the Neymar Institute. We couldn't postpone them and he will return [to PSG] on 15 July." It seems likely that they are just paving the way for the Brazilian to leave as sporting director Leonardo has said that Neymar can go if they receive "an offer that suits everyone".
