Neymar: Youhave tosellCav
From Back Page world’s most expensive player has told PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khalifi the relationship is “broken” and playing together is “totally impossible”.
It is believed Neymar is demanding top scorer Cavani is flogged in January.
Neymar wanted to take the 79th-minute award against Lyon but regular taker Cavani refused and his kick was saved.
Cavani had earlier been involved in a bust-up with Dani Alves over taking a free-kick before the Brazilian handed the ball to international pal Neymar.
Cavani confronted £200m Neymar star after the match and team-mates Thiago Motta and Marquinhos had to step in to keep them apart.
Cavani, PSG’s top scorer with 49 goals last season, touched the ball just 20 times against Lyon and never passed to Neymar.
The Uruguayan denied there was a problem though and said: “The truth is these are normal things that happen in football.
“He (Neymar) has just arrived and we are keen for him to adapt.”
