SANT JOAN DESPI, Spain: Neymar has arrived at Barcelona's training grounds amid widespread rumors that the Brazil striker could make a record-breaking move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar drove into Barcelona's training center in Sant Joan Despi on the outskirts of the city on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. local time, a half-hour before a scheduled practice session.
He returned to Spain from publicity events in China late Tuesday.
PSG is reported to be ready to pay Neymar's release clause of 222 million euros ($262 million). That would dwarf the 105 million euros (then $116 million) that Manchester United paid a year ago for France midfielder Paul Pogba.
A Barcelona club official has told The Associated Press that the club has "doubts concerning the future" of Neymar.
Meanwhile AFP reported that Neymar had landed back in Barcelona on Tuesday evening, avoiding making any comment on the ongoing speculation about the possible transfer.
The 25-year-old Barcelona forward was travelling back from China and had earlier posted a video on social media apparently from Dubai airport, amid suggestions that he could have been bound for Paris.
Neymar, who was in Shanghai on Monday fulfilling a sponsor's engagement, had also posted a photo on Instagram with the caption in Portuguese: "Lunch at half-way".
