Neymar's Father Says PSG Knew He Would Return only by July 15
Neymar's father has again insisted that Paris Saint-Germain were well aware the Brazil star would not be returning for pre-season training on July 8.
The French Ligue 1 champions said they would take "appropriate action" against the forward after he did not appear for club duties on Monday.
The news has fuelled rumours Neymar will look to force through a move away from the club in the transfer window, with a return to Barcelona mooted as well as a possible switch to Real Madrid.
PSG said in a statement that they had not authorised the player's absence, but Neymar Snr is adamant they had agreed he would not be back until July 15 due to commitments with Instituto Neymar, a charitable organisation set up by the 27-year-old and his family.
“The reason [for his absence] is known and was scheduled one year ago, with the annual schedule of his institute, and we couldn't change it,” he first told Fox Sports Brazil .
“His return will be on the 15th. It's as simple as that... no controversy. And PSG are aware and are part of the institute's actions.”
