La Liga claim they will block Neymar's transfer from Barcelona to PSG,PSG refuses La Liga blockage, pays Barcelona £222m to secure Neymar's transfer

Neymar is about to break Paul Pogba's world record £100million Man U transfer move, as he is soon to be the world’s best-paid and most expensive footballer with a whopping £222m transfer to PSG.

The Brazilian missed training on Wednesday morning and said goodbye to his Barca teammates as his blockbuster move drew nearer. 

Representatives of Neymar and PSG arrived at the La Liga offices in Madrid on Thursday, planning to deposit the fee to activate the release clause but La Liga officials blocked them from depositing the money.

According to Guardian, La Liga refused the payment because they had concerns over the origin of the money, insisting only Spanish clubs can have the guaranteed rights to buy out a contract - despite accepting deposits from foreign clubs in the past.

Since it has been reported that neither Barca nor La Liga can block the deal and that the Spanish organisation have no legal grounds to reject the money, Neymar and PSG representatives moved to Barcelona and paid the club themselves

Barcelona announced today that they have received a payment of 222 million euros from Neymar's legal representatives "with regards to the unilateral termination of the contract that united both parties".

"On Thursday afternoon Neymar Jr's legal representatives visited in person the club's offices and made the payment of 222million euros in the player's name with regards to the unilateral termination of the contract that united both parties. "As such, the club will pass on to UEFA the details of the above operation so that they can determine the disciplinary responsibilities that may arise from this case."

According to reports, La Liga has no power to block Neymar's move to PSG. Both Barca and the league claim they will appeal to UEFA over the transfer but it seems La Liga cannot scupper the move. The best the league can do is hold up the deal while lawyers scour over the paperwork, looking for errors.

La Liga say they will attempt to block Neymar's transfer to PSG, claiming that their bid of €220m (£198m) for the Barcelona forward is in breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

While PSG have met Neymar's release clause with their world record bid, it now appears there may be one final hurdle for the French giants to navigate.

Liga de Futbol Profesional (LFP) president Javier Tebas has accused PSG of "financial doping", claiming the club has raised money for the Neymar transfer direct from its Qatari owners rather than through standalone profits.

When asked whether it was embarrassing for La Liga to be stripped of one of its most recognisable assets, Tebas claimed the league would "not accept" the money from PSG."The problem is not that LaLiga is a great championship, which is what it is," Tebas told AS.

"The problem is that Neymar is being taken by a financially-doped team that competes with an advantage."The problem is the state-backed clubs, they need to be stopped."

As well as the possible FFP breach, Tebas claimed earlier this week that the player's 2013 transfer from Santos to Barcelona is still subject to legal wrangling.

Neymar's move from Barcelona to PSG is an era-defining transfer

"Even if PSG do not meet [Neymar's] release clause we are going to report them [to Uefa]," Tebas told the Catalan newspaper Sport on Tuesday.

"We have already warned the president of Paris Saint-Germain that we would do so and we see that PSG's policy has continued in the same manner.

"They cannot invent some numbers where their commercial rights exceed those of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Nobody believes that
