  • PSG fans arrived at the home of Neymar and demanded he leave the club
  • The Brazilian's future with the Parisians has been a major topic recently
  • Neymar has been linked with a move to join Newcastle United in the EPL

Paris Saint-Germain ultras have been filmed at Neymar Junior's house, calling for the Brazilian to leave the club.

It has been a difficult week for the Parisians, who saw their Ligue 1 title hopes hit a snag after a home loss to Lorient on April 30.

The French giants also suspended superstar, Lionel Messi for two weeks following an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia.

In a video shared on social media, some fans showed up with megaphones, flares, and banners in front of the Brazilian's residence as frustration with the star's performance continues to grow.

Neymar, who has been linked with a move away from Paris to the English Premier League in recent weeks, took to social media to confirm fans had come to his home in France.

“They’ve just left my door,” Neymar wrote on Twitter, along with a crying emoji.

PSG releases statement after protests

PSG has since condemned the actions of supporters, calling their actions 'intolerable' and 'insulting'.

In a statement, via Yahoo Sports, the club said: "Whatever the differences of opinion, nothing justifies such actions. The club gives its full support to its players, its staff and all those targeted by such shameful behaviour."

Neymar nears return to Paris

Meanwhile, Neymar is expected to return to PSG at the end of April after recovering from his ankle injury in his home country of Brazil, Get Football reports.

The star saw his season end early after he sustained an injury during a Ligue 1 match against Lille on February 19, which necessitated surgery in Qatar.

Neymar is still wearing an orthopaedic boot as he recovers from the injury, but the PSG forward can reportedly remove it once he returns to France.

Neymar's girlfriend announces pregnancy

In more positive news, Sports Brief reported on Neymar becoming a father again after his girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi's recent pregnancy announcement.

The model tagged the 31-year-old Paris Saint-Germain superstar in a post on social media, where she announced the positive news to her 3.8 million followers.

The couple shared a series of snaps highlighting Biancardi's visibly growing baby bump, and in one of the photos, Neymar holds his girlfriend’s belly with a smile.
