Neymar has been given permission to leave Barcelona as he looks set to join Paris St-Germain in a 222m euro (£198m) deal.
The Brazilian, 25, told his team-mates at training on Wednesday that he wanted to leave the Spanish giants.
He was then given permission by manager Ernesto Valverde not to train and to “sort out his future”.
The forward’s release clause is 222m euros, which PSG are understood to be ready to pay.
