Neymar has finally been unveiled as a Paris Saint-Germain player after completing his €222m move from Barcelona.

It's a transfer that has stunned football, smashing the previous world record held by Paul Pogba's £89million switch to Manchester United a year ago.

On a day when Juan Mata has described the money footballers earn as "obscene", it's been widely reported that Neymar will be raking in €600,000 a week after tax.

However, the element of the deal that has arguably provided the most shock value is that the Brazilian was so insistent on leaving the Nou Camp.

Such was the 25-year-old's desperation that he eventually paid his own release clause to make it happen, as La Liga had been blocking PSG's payment.

Most forwards would give anything to play alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, but the fact is that Neymar had grown tired of simply being one-third of 'MSN'. He wants more of the limelight, and he's certainly achieved that by joining PSG.

Unsurprisingly, Barcelona are not taking it kindly.

The Blaugrana had hoped he would become the poster boy of La Liga when Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo retire, but it's the Ligue 1 brand that he's going to be benefiting.

Barca's parting shot

In fact, Barca evidently think he's getting quite enough out of his move, so they've decided to have a parting shot at him.

Catalan publication Sport are reporting that the club are refusing to pay a €26million loyalty bonus, which Neymar's camp feel he's entitled to.

It may look like a petty attempt at revenge, yet Barca actually have reasonably good grounds for their stance.

For the bonus to be paid, the contract stipulated that Neymar could not negotiate with another club before July 31, and he had to publicly commit his future to Barcelona. The money would have been released on September 1, and Neymar won't be around to see that happen.

Their spokesman, Josep Vives, explained that "the conditions agreed at the time are not met," per the same source.

Vives also appeared to fire a warning at the Parisians concerning Financial Fair Play regulations, adding:

"We will transfer all this documentation to UEFA, so that the Analyze and make the decisions you deem appropriate."
