Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore is glad Neymar didn't join his league at the type of fee Paris Saint-Germain paid.

"There is a point where you say actually 'no'," Scudamore said to Sky Sports.

"I am glad that is not us who has got that particular record.

"That is an unusual set of events I think. The Qataris - who own PSG - have suddenly decided they want to make a statement.

"And the rather perverse thing with having these buyout clauses is they are meant to prevent players moving.

"This one was tested and it does not worry me at all and I am kind of sitting here glad it was not a Premier League club who spent that much money on a player."
