Neymar finally addresses ‘fall out’ with Cavani

Brazilian forward, Neymar Jr. has accused the media of inventing stories about a serious fall-out with Paris Saint-Germain teammate, Edinson Cavani.

The Paris Saint-Germain star dismissed claims of a spat with Cavani.

Neymar, a €222 million import from Barcelona, argued with Cavani over free-kick and penalty duties during PSG’s 2-0 Ligue 1 victory over Lyon earlier in the month.

The incident was accompanied by reports that the attacking duo’s relationship was beyond repair, with Neymar reported to have called for Cavani to be sold.

Further rumours claimed that the Uruguayan forward was offered €1m to let Neymar take any future spot-kicks.

The Brazil international expressed displeasure over the claims from those he described as having “no clue” about the goings-on at the club.

He told reporters, “They invent a lot of stories. They talk too much. They speak about things that they have no clue about.

“They try to infiltrate the dressing room and they end up making claims about things that don’t exist.”

The former Barcelona man added that future penalty duties had “already been decided” although he refused to say who would take them.
