The cheque that bought Neymar for €222m?

It’s going to be a long wait to payday for the PSG owners after this.

NEYMAR BECAME THE most expensive player in the world on 3 August, when Paris Saint-Germain paid Barcelona the value of his €222 million release clause.

Due to Spanish law, the French side had to pay the Liga giants the fee up front – and that meant cashing a cheque for a huge amount of money.

A picture has emerged of the slip that was reportedly used to sign the Brazil ace for a fee completely unprecedented in the footballing world.

Neymar will not be able to make his PSG bow on Saturday against Amiens as international clearance for the move has not yet arrived, meaning he should debut versus Guingamp next week.
