Neymar's release clause at PSG revealed

Neymar's release clause is lower than we had expected it to be

Spanish publication AS has revealed the release clause in Neymar's PSG contract. The winger joined Paris Saint-Germain in a world record €222 million deal in the summer of 2017.

Neymar lit up the Parc des Princes right away after joining and has been a standout performer for the Ligue 1 giants. Though his transfer fee was expected to rise to unbelievable levels, the new information has left us all a little surprised.

AS reveals that Neymar can be bought from PSG in 2020 for €160 million. In today's crazy transfer market, that is not a ridiculous sum of money for someone of Neymar's talents.
