How Twitter reacted to Barca’s confirmation that Neymar can leave

Twitter went ballistic on Wednesday after Barca publicly confirmed for the first time after weeks of speculation that Neymar wants to leave the Nou Camp.

However, they insisted that the buyout clause in his contract, which is 222 million euros, must be paid in full.

£198m for this Neymar lad. World’s gone mad. He’s got the skills but not the grit of a proper English player like Mark Albrighton
