Neymar told England mascot he left Barcelona to ‘make the French league the best’ in the world
Controversy has surrounded the Brazilian's move to Paris Saint-Germain with reports that told old team-mates he regrets making the switch
SPECULATION has mounted that there is trouble in paradise with Neymar regretting his world record move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The former Barcelona man is one of the highest paid footballers in the world following his staggering £198million switch.
And whilst Neymar continuously denies his move to the French capital was all about the money, one young England mascot wanted to get the answer from the horses mouth.
With the players lining up before their Wembley duel, the mascot shouted: "Why did you go to PSG?"
Catching the 25-year-old by surprise, Neymar responded: "To make the French league the best."
Neymar then stopped to have a friendly conversation with the youngster whilst his team-mates watched on.
Neymar, who drew a blank in the 0-0 draw at Wembley, reportedly told old team-mates Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez that he wished he hadn't made the switch.
Marcelo Bechler, the journalist who first broke the news of Neymar's move, told a radio station: "There are a lot of high-ranking players in the dressing room, such as [Edinson] Cavani and [Angel] Di Maria, and they have found Neymar's behaviour in these first month strange.
"The relationship between Neymar and [Unai] Emery is distant, as it is with some players.
"Yet PSG are clear that anybody else would have to leave before Neymar goes."
