Neymar Junior’s home was filmed by Paris Saint-Germain supporters yelling for him to quit the team and leave Brazil.
The Parisians have had a challenging week after having their chances of winning Ligue 1 derailed by a home setback to Lorient on April 30.
After making an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia, the French giants also put the world’s best player, Lionel Messi, on two weeks of suspension.
On Wednesday, fans chanted outside the club’s headquarters, demanding the board resign. Further clips showed supporters outside Neymar’s home, calling for him to move on, per PSG Report.
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

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.
However, he was expected to PSG by the close of April 2023.The injury forced him to miss a significant portion of the season and raised doubts about his availability for the team’s crucial upcoming matches.
