There are numerous reports in the French media that are suggest the PSG players are not exactly happy with Neymar and that that the pedestal he's been thrust upon by the club's owners has caused an atmosphere of tension among the squad, this is according to whoateallthe pies.
Cavani and Neymar recently had a Penalty altercation in a league game when they wrestled for the ball after a penalty was won. Neymar subsequently apologized and the two South Americans put the matter to bed apparently.
El Pais now reports Cavani has rejected a €1million 'sweetener' from PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi to hand over penalty taking duties to Neymar. The report states that the 30 year old turned down the offer from Al-Khelaifi to cede penalty duties to Neymar and close the crisis. The reports also says the players are annoyed with the club and are backing the Uruguayan.
The bonus makes up part of the improved contract that the club's owner offered through an intermediary last week which would see the lump sum paid if Cavani also finishes the season as ligue 1 top scorer.
Spanish football writer Colin Millar offered more insight on twitter on the issue.

Millar has also described the 'reconciliation dinner' held by Dani Alves in the wake of the penalty row as being more akin to a funeral.
