- Neymar is thinking of joining PSG where he knows he will be the main man
- The player's father is unhappy Barcelona refused to sign midfielder Lucas Lima
- Neymar has said he is happy at Barcelona and not thinking about PSG for now
Reports on Tuesday claimed Neymar will quit the Nou Camp for a move to PSG in a world-record deal and the reasons for the sensational transfer have seemingly been revealed.
According to Brazilian journalist Marcelo Bechler, there are three major reasons why the Brazilian is willing to jump ship.
Bechler writing for Lance claims the 25-year-old is willing to take on a new challenge where he knows he will be the main man and not Lionel Messi's side-kick.

Although the two are close friends, Neymar wants to be the outright star of the team, like he was at Santos and he is for Brazil's national team.
The presence of Dani Alves is also said to be influencing his decision. The right-back was bought as a 'gift' for Neymar to convince him to join.
As expected, the 25-year-old would be given a significant pay rise with PSG which will be higher than the €15m a year he earns at Barcelona.
The final reason is the relationship between Neymar's father and the club's board.
