Nounews but Ney way to handle it

- ED CASEY sport@dailyrecor­d.co.uk

NEYMAR has been snapped storming out of Barcelona training after a bust-up with new team-mate Nelson Semedo as speculatio­n over the Brazilian’s future intensifie­s.

The 25-year-old, linked with a big-money transfer to PSG, appeared to be involved in a heated argument with Semedo in Miami ahead of today’s pre-season friendly against Real Madrid.

Neymar reportedly took exception to a challenge from Semedo, who recently signed from Benfica, and squared up to the right-back until Javier Mascherano quickly intervened.

But while Semedo walked away Neymar was restrained by Sergio Busquets and then threw his bib on the floor before kicking a ball at a vacant goal in anger and then leaving the pitch.

Barcelona published a story on their website about the session but with no mention of Neymar who was pictured in good spirits in the featured image. Neymar BIG BUST-UP Neymar has scored three goals in two friendlies during Barca’s tour of the US – including the winner against Manchester United – but has constantly been linked with a move away from the Nou Camp.

Ligue 1 giants PSG are reported to be willing to activate Neymar’s £195million buyout clause in a deal that would see him become the most expensive player in the world.

Last night Brazil defender Thiago Silva dropped a hint about potential progress in the French club’s pursuit of Neymar suggesting more informatio­n might emerge “soon”.

Ahead of today’s Trophee des Champions clash against Monaco in Tangier, Silva told Le Parisien: “I play with him in the national team but this is not the time to talk about him.

“The priority is the match. After the game we can talk more about it.

“He’s my friend, we’ve been playing together for seven years. We have a very honest relationsh­ip.

“But we will have to wait. Soon everybody will be talking about it.”
