COME IN NO 10

Neymar ‘in line for No 10 shirt at PSG’ once Brazilian completes £198 world-record move

But it waits to be seen exactly what present incumbent Javier Pastore thinks about Neymar taking the shirt off his back

NEYMAR is expected to take the No 10 shirt from Javier Pastore once he is a Paris Saint-Germain player.

The summer-long saga should soon be over after the Brazilian told his Barcelona team-mates he is leaving.

Wagner Ribeiro, an advisor to the player, claimed PSG would pay his £198million release clause in the "coming hours".

So it seems PSG are already to unleash their new man on the French league.

Neymar wears No 10 for Brazil, having worn No 11 at Santos and Barca.

Mind you, he has some decent predecessors to live up to.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic wore No 10 during his spell in Paris, as did Ronaldinho and Jay-Jay Okocha.

But so did Vikash Dhorasoo, Stephane Sessegnon and Hatem Ben Arfa...

In his four years at the Nou Camp, Neymart, 25, helped Barca win La Liga twice, the Champions League, three Copa del Reys and the FIFA Club World Cup.

"The transfer of Neymar to PSG will have an effect on the club finances over several years but the impact of such an operation cannot be judged in advance, notably as PSG could well sell several players for a significant amount.

"We shall therefore only make calculations at the end and make sure that they respect the rules."
