Neymar fights with teammates on Barca training ground

Brazilian striker got into a scuffle with teammate Nelson Semedo during a training session, amid rumors of an impending move to PSG.

The incident happened during a training session on Barca's small field in Miami, USA on July 28. In a dispute, defender Semedo, who had just joined Barca, collided with Neymar. The Brazilian striker got angry, exchanged words and attacked his new teammate. Javier Mascherano quickly separated Neymar and Semedo.

The Brazilian star was still angry and continued to argue and provoke Semedo. Neymar then tried to run to hit the Portuguese defender, but was pulled back by Sergio Busquets. Unable to calm down, Neymar took off his training shirt, threw it on the ground and took out his anger on the ball. The Brazilian star then left the training. Coach Ernesto Valverde, standing nearby, just shook his head.

Sportsmail quoted a Barca employee as saying that Neymar not only skipped training but also got in a car and left the training ground as soon as the scuffle ended.

The collision took place in front of many teammates and members of Barca's coaching staff.

If there was no timely intervention, Neymar and Semedo could have caused a big problem.

After being separated, Neymar was still angry and tried to attack his new teammate.

Neymar is reportedly not expected to fly back to Spain with his Barca teammates on Sunday. Instead, the Brazilian forward will fly straight to China for a promotional event.

Neymar's move adds fuel to the fire of rumours that he will leave Barca. Spanish media reported that PSG met with Neymar's father and agreed to pay $260 million to break his contract.

Meanwhile, Neymar himself has begun to feel suffocated at Barca, having to live under the shadow of Lionel Messi. Gerard Pique himself has admitted that Neymar is the type of player who wants to be the center of the team.
