Lionel Messi has informed Barcelona that he wants to leave the club this summer rather than wait until 2021.

Esporte Interativo was the first outlet to report Neymar's move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi has grown frustrated by the depletion of talent around him with Barcelona.

Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are widely considered the two clubs with the financial wherewithal to trigger Messi's release clause.
