The transfer was a major coup for PSG, who had been trying to sign Neymar for several years. The Brazilian forward was attracted to PSG's ambition to win the Champions League and the club's willingness to invest in top talent.
The transfer also marked a significant shift in the balance of power in European football, as PSG became one of the biggest spenders in the world. The deal was seen as a major blow to Barcelona, who had been trying to keep Neymar at the club.
Since joining PSG, Neymar has won several titles, including four Ligue 1 championships and two Coupe de France trophies. However, his time at the club has also been marked by controversy and injuries, including a serious ankle injury that kept him out of action for several months in 2018.
