According to Get Football, Neymar, who was expected to report back for the start of the Parisians’ pre-season training this week, will now take further time off.

PSG took the step to show support to the 31-year-old superstar after he was fined €3 million by the Brazilian environmental authorities as he needs time to sort out the issue.

Neymar, who is set to enter his seventh season with PSG, will have 20 days to appeal the ruling by the Brazilian authorities as legal proceedings begin.

Neymar involved in another scandal

Meanwhile, Neymar was involved in an altercation at a nightclub in Brazil, just less than two weeks after he was caught cheating on his pregnant girlfriend, Marca reports.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker was seen having a dispute with another man in a nightclub in Rio de Janeiro, where a Thiaguinho concert occurred.

The night ended in turmoil after Neymar's altercation with another man, in which they pushed and shouted. The intervention of the nightclub security was even required to calm things down between the two.

Neymar blasted by girlfriend’s sister

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that the sister of Neymar's girlfriend has made their private business public by claiming that the Paris Saint-German star refuses to act like a man.

Neymar's girlfriend is Bruna Biancardi and it is her sister, Bianca Biancardi, who really does not seem to get on well with the Brazilian star.

Bianca resorted to Instagram to criticise the former Barcelona forward for cheating on his pregnant partner, with whom he is expecting a baby in May.
