Neymar expects bigger challenge at PSG than Barcelona

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar revealed, he joined the Ligue 1 side to experience a "greater challenge".

The 25-year-old Brazil striker signed for the Parc des Princes side from Barcelona for a world-record fee of €222 million and was presented in front of the media for the first time on Friday.

"I wanted something bigger, a bigger challenge," he said. "My heart wanted a new ambition, that’s why I’m here in front of you. This is what my heart told me to do. I listen to my heart every day. And my heart told me to go to PSG."

There had been speculation that he was disgruntled at Barcelona for not being the sole star, though that is something he has denied.

"No, it didn’t impact my decision at all," he said. "I wanted to come to Paris, and this was only linked to me willing to find a new challenge. It’s not because I didn’t feel like I was the big star – I felt really good there. That’s not what I'm here for in Paris. I’m here for a new challenge and new trophies. I want to dream bigger, to do my best and to do even better."
