Neymar Honoured With Statue In Paris

Neymar has been honoured with a three-metre high statue in the middle of the French capital

It may have seemed unlikely during the summer when he was pushing for a move back to Barcelona, but Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar has been honoured with a bust in the French capital.

As of Wednesday and running until November 14, a three-metre high image of the Brazil international’s head will be on display at Hotel George V in the city’s 8th arrondissement.

The image has been designed by Brazilian artist Marcos Marin and is part of an exhibition of 50 sculptures, of which 20 have been designed by the South American.

“I made this piece for the 2014 World Cup in Russia and I could not bring myself to leave it outside of Paris,” he is quoted by Le Parisien as having said.

Neymar has had a turbulent year, beginning with a serious foot injury, which saw him miss a series of vital matches for the Parisians at the end of the 2018-19 campaign.

Thereafter, he was embroiled in the summer’s major transfer story as he pushed for a move back to Spain, where Barcelona and Real Madrid were both reported to be interested in securing his services.

A transfer never materialised, with PSG reluctant to sell one of their most marketable stars for a cut-price fee. (Sky sports)
