The Champs-Elysees was lined with impatient supporters, on Friday morning, who were desperate to get their hands on PSG shirts, costing £140, with Neymar's name.
"I am extremely happy to join Paris Saint-Germain," said Neymar after his transfer was confirmed on Thursday. "Since I arrived in Europe, the club has always been one of the most competitive and most ambitious.
"And the biggest challenge, what most motivated me to join my new team-mates is to help the club to conquer the titles that their fans want.
"Paris Saint-Germain's ambition attracted me to the club, along with the passion and the energy this brings. I played four seasons in Europe and I feel ready to take the challenge."
