Paris Saint-Germain trained in Shenzhen on Wednesday afternoon, hours after the French Ligue 1 champions arrived in the city in the southern part of China.

Neymar joined the practice session – to the delight of local fans.

The Brazil star has been linked with a return to Barcelona, but former France midfielder Youri Djorkaeff, now a PSG club ambassador, played down the transfer talk.

“When you are a big player, when you are a star, it’s normal that everyday, clubs want to buy you,” he said.

PSG open their tour against Inter Milan on Saturday followed by a game against Sydney FC on July 30.

To finish, they face French Cup winners Rennes FC for the Trophee des Champions at the Shenzhen Universiade Stadium on August 3 before returning to France for the start of the Ligue 1 season.
