NEYMAR hit a Rio mall with girlfriend Bruna Marquezine – as he reportedly puts himself in the shop window.
Paris Saint-Germain‘s world-record £198million signing is enjoying the high life in his homeland as he recovers from a broken metatarsal that has jeopardised his chances of playing at the World Cup.
And PSG chiefs have allegedly found out just how much baggage Neymar comes with after he REFUSED their demand that he returns to Paris.
As Neymar hit the Shopping Village Mall in the Rio suburb of Barra da Tijuca with stunning Bruna, El Pais claimed that he has refused to finish his rehabilitation at PSG.
President Nasser Al-Khelaifi is said to have led a three-man delegation that visited Neymar’s Mangaratiba mansion in a desperate attempt to coax him back to the French capital.
They wanted him to ally fears that Neymar wants out of the club – but their star player is claimed to have left them ‘devastated’ with his response.

It has now been over a month since the PSG chiefs’ trip to Brazil and the former Barcelona is yet to set foot in Paris.
Neymar is said to have added to their exasperation by posting a stream of videos and images on social media that highlight his absence from the club.
Bosses are said to have been particularly irritated by the video he posted of himself playing poker during PSG’s title party.
PSG boss Unai Emery stated on March 30 that Neymar would be back “in two or three weeks”.

And that would be less than a month before D-day for 83-cap Samba star’s World Cup hopes, with a verdict on whether he will be fit for Russia 2018 expected on May 17.
But with time running out on Emery’s time frame, Neymar hardly looked to be missing the Parisian shops as he hobbled around wearing a protective boot alongside his girlfriend.
Neymar and Rio-born actress Bruna have recently been spotted at a charity ball and on a trip to the theatre.
