Denis Suárez: Barça Knew Neymar Was Leaving When Piqué Posted ‘Se Queda’

His account reframes the viral photo as dressing-room theater during a move sealed by PSG triggering a €222 million clause.

Overview

  • Suárez said the squad already expected the exit during preseason when Piqué’s “se queda” selfie appeared.
  • He recounted that teammates goaded Piqué to publish the message, noting Neymar was “practically gone” at that point.
  • He added that several players tried to persuade Neymar to remain at Barcelona but could not change his mind.
  • PSG completed the transfer by activating the €222 million release clause, with Neymar presented in Paris days after the post.
  • The post became an infamous misread for Piqué, and Neymar is currently recovering from surgery as he seeks a Brazil call-up.
