Cantona to Neymar: You're 25 years old and at Barcelona... Why did you move to France?

Neymar's move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain continues to make headlines, with Eric Cantona the latest to weigh in on the subject.

The former French international has found it hard to understand why the Brazilian would swap Catalonia for Paris.

"When you are 25 years old and you are playing for Brazil and Barcelona, I wonder why you would move to Ligue 1 to play against Amiens or Guingamp?" Cantona said to Yahoo Sports.

"It's not the point of view that I have on football and its passion."

Suggestions that it may be to win the Champions League didn't sit well with Cantona.

"The Champions League? It's only a maximum of 10 matches," he continued.

"I just don't understand why he came to play in France."
