A flawless stay
It is fairly well established in recent weeks that Neymar wants to leave PSG, the club that he joined for a record 222 million euros in 2017, and return to Barcelona.
But the feasibility of such an agreement really exists, especially since his former club also spent € 120m for Antoine Griezmann and until now has not allowed Philippe Coutinho, among others, to collect funds and create space, is increasingly debatable.
SPORT claimed that there was a "new contact" between Barça and PSG. Camp Nou President Josep Maria Bartomeu has reportedly asked his counterpart at the Parc des Princes, Nbader al Khelaifi, to be the first to know if the French champions would decide to sell Neymar.
PSG has apparently insisted that it would not negotiate, even if the sport claims "that things are advancing quietly".
An independent report by ESPN Desportes in Brazil contains similar information on Bartomeu, requesting that Barca be kept informed of any developments. The story suggests that they are waiting for the PSG to take the lead and open the negotiations.
ESPN also notes that Barça would prefer not to pay money to land the Brazilian, but would rather include the same as Coutinho in an agreement to minimize costs. Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic has also been mentioned in previous reports.
Barça's plan could also be a problem, because if PSG cracked and made it known that Neymar was up for sale, there would be a risk that competitors like Real Madrid or Juventus would mingle if the market opens up.
After missing the start of pre-season practices and a fight over his fate, Neymar is currently with the PSG team in China for the summer tour tasks. The French website Soccer Link claimed that Barca did not want him to leave, suggesting that he would have made the agreement simpler and cheaper if he had simply refused to participate.
Whether true or not, it is claimed that Barça "repeatedly asked" the 27 years not to go. It is even said that he had seriously thought about it before presenting himself to avoid other problems.
In addition, Soccer Link reports that PSG and international teammates Thiago Silva and Marquinhos are in "daily" contact with Neymar to persuade him to stay. Brazilian defenders were granted extra leave after their participation in the Copa America.
SPORT also learned that Neymar was not involved in the official launch of PSG's new travel kit in China, with Kylian Mbappe and Marco Verratti leading the way. It's only later that he was included in a special parade organized by a club sponsor on PSG.
