Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi coy on Neymar move

Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi says that it is "premature" to discuss Neymar's proposed move to the club from Barcelona.

Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi has said that it is "premature" to discuss Neymar's proposed move to the club from Barcelona.

Neymar is expected to complete a world-record €222m (£198.6m) switch to the Ligue 1 runners-up within the next week after asking to leave Camp Nou.

Al-Khelaifi admitted that he hopes to be able to talk about the transfer in the future, but refused to discuss it while the Brazilian remains a Barcelona player.

"I think this matter is a little premature. Right now, Neymar is a Barcelona player and we'll see what happens with him. We respect all contracts signed with other clubs and players," he told Medi 1 TV.

"To be honest, I'd rather not to talk about this matter now. I hope to do it at another time. I prefer not to give percentages, everything in its time. Neymar is a world star, but, I repeat, he is currently a Barcelona player.

"Signing a star is not only a question of name or reputation, but also of style of play. PSG's ambition is to have great world-renowned players to raise the reputation of the club and give the players and the coach the level that they are hoping to achieve."

UEFA has suggested that financial fair play rules will not prevent PSG from completing a deal for Neymar.
