Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi warned <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/neymar-questioned-for-five-hours-by-brazil-police-over-alleged-rape-charges-227049">Neymar</a> and his other highly-paid stars on Sunday that they must shape-up or ship-out, claiming "celebrity behaviour" at the French champions will not be tolerated.

"The players will have to assume their responsibilities even more than before," Al-Khelaifi told France Football in an interview to be published on Tuesday.&nbsp;

"It must be completely different, they will have to do more, work more. They are not here to please themselves and if they do not agree, the doors are open. I do not want to have celebrity behaviour anymore.

"I have realised that changes were essential, otherwise we're going nowhere."

Although he wasn't named, there seems little doubt that Brazilian star Neymar was the chief target of Al-Khelaifi's blast.

The 27-year-old Neymar was questioned by Brazilian police for five hours on Thursday over allegations he raped a woman he met through social media in a Paris hotel last month -- charges he has denied.

Neymar has been plagued by controversy in France.

Injured and forced to watch from the stands as PSG were knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester United in March, Neymar aimed obscene language at the match officials on Instagram.&nbsp;

"It's a disgrace. They get four guys who don't understand football to watch a slow motion replay in front of the TV," he wrote.

Neymar was handed a three-match suspension by UEFA for those insults which rule him out of PSG's opening fixtures in next season's European campaign.

Neymar then scored in PSG's French Cup final defeat by Rennes but hits a supporter as he collects his runners-up medal at the Stade de France.

He is given a further two-game ban while the Brazilian press brand him a "coward" and a "rebellious teenager".&nbsp;

Brazil boss Tite took the skipper's armband away from the 96-time international and gave it to club team-mate Dani Alves instead although it proved academic as Neymar was then ruled out of the Copa America due to an ankle ligament injury picked up in a friendly.

Al-Khelaifi's outburst comes just days after former PSG sporting director Leonardo returned to the club in the same position replacing Antero Henrique.

The Brazilian had already warned that no player should be above the "institution" of PSG, in an interview with Canal+ a few weeks after the arrival of Neymar in 2017.&nbsp;

"It does not matter if Neymar is Neymar, if Cristiano Ronaldo is Cristiano Ronaldo, the club is an institution to respect," said Leonardo.

PSG won the French Ligue 1 title for a sixth time in seven seasons.

However, in a disappointing European run, Thomas Tuchel's men failed to reach the later stages of the Champions League losing to Manchester United in the last 16.

They have now lost in the last 16 in three straight seasons.

Shape-up or ship-out: Neymar in question as PSG chief blasts club's 'celebrity behaviour'

Paris Saint-Germain has challenged UEFA in court after a club finance panel reopened its investigation into the French champion, and can assess transfer deals for superstar forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Monday the appeal case is confidential at the request of PSG and UEFA and gave no further details.

Qatar-owned PSG has long been a target of UEFA rules designed to curb so-called financial doping by wealthy backers of clubs which qualify for the Champions League or Europa League.

The Financial Fair Play program requires clubs to approach break-even on soccer-related business, such as player trading and wages, and also assesses the fair market value of sponsorship deals.

PSG forfeited 20 million euros (USD 22.8 million) of Champions League prize money in a 2014 settlement. Then, Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City got the same deal from UEFA in signature cases from the first round of FFP sanctions.

Details of tough 2014 negotiations between both clubs and UEFA's then-leaders were revealed at the weekend by European media. Published emails included legal threats by the clubs trying to prevent possible bans from the Champions League worth tens of millions of euros per season.

In April 2017, UEFA released PSG and Man City from their settlement deals for complying with three years of stricter monitoring.

PSG then spent heavily in that offseason, breaking soccer's transfer record to buy Neymar from Barcelona for 222 million euros (USD 253 million). A loan deal was agreed with Monaco for Mbappe that became a 180 million euros (USD 205 million) purchase this year.

UEFA opened an investigation soon after the Mbappe loan, and warned PSG in June this year to raise cash quickly from player sales to balance its 2017-18 accounts. UEFA also said some sponsor deals, including from Qatar, were overvalued.

Still, investigators for UEFA's Club Financial Control Body closed their scrutiny of PSG's accounts for the year through June 2017 before the Neymar signing.

The UEFA panel's judging chamber reviewed the decision and in September sent the case back for a "deeper investigation." It is that move which PSG is challenging at CAS.

The sports court's judges must first decide if it is admissible to appeal a procedural step rather than a final ruling.

Joining PSG in a similar situation, Galatasaray was also placed under further investigation by the UEFA panel last month. It is unclear if the Turkish club has appealed to CAS.&nbsp;
