Paris - The French league on Thursday stepped into the Neymar transfer affair, calling on their Spanish counterparts not to block the Brazilian's move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The LFP issued a strongly worded statement hours after La Liga refused to accept a cheque presented by Neymar's advisors for €222 million ($260 million) to pay his buyout clause with Barcelona.
The French body urged the Spanish league "to stick to FIFA's rules and its responsibilities".
