The Brazil international will complete his world-record £200m move to PSG tomorrow when he is unveiled by the Ligue 1 giants.

He has agreed a five-year deal at the club which will make him the best paid football in the world on wages worth £540,000-a-week after tax.

Neymar joined Barcelona in 2013 and went on to win eight trophies including two La Liga trophies and a Champions League winner’s medal.
