Paris St Germain have announced the signing of Neymar for a world-record fee on a five-year contract.

The 25-year-old Brazil forward, whose legal representatives on Thursday paid Barcelona the world-record fee to terminate the contract which tied him to the Catalan giants, has signed a five-year deal with the Ligue 1 club.

PSG announced Neymar’s arrival on their website just hours after Barcelona acknowledged the receipt of 222 million euros preceding the move’s confirmation with a video posted on Twitter that teased: “He’s coming.”

“Paris Saint-Germain’s ambition attracted me to the club, along with the passion and the energy this brings. I played four seasons in Europe and I feel ready to take the challenge.

“From today, I will do everything I can to help my new team-mates, to open up new horizons for my club and to bring happiness to its millions of supporters around the world.”
