“I have grown as a person here, as a human being and as a player, too,” he told the PSG website.

Neymar was in the final year of his contract, having signed a five-year deal on his initial arrival.

“We had fights, a few sad times, but I am happy and proud to be part of the history of Paris St-Germain.

“I hope to put many more trophies on the shelf for PSG.”
