Barcelona offers Philippe Coutinho to PSG in order to sign Neymar

Barcelona will propose Philippe Coutinho to Paris Saint-Germain as an elite player to bring Neymar back to Camp Nou this summer.

The Brazilian, who left Barcelona for the French capital in 2017 for a record £ 198 million, is far from settled and might be tempted to go back.

Barca would like to get together with the striker and would be willing to leave one of his valuable badets to the French capital to help him reach an agreement.

According to the Daily Record, the Catalan giants are planning to use Coutinho or French striker Ousmane Dembele as part of a partial Neymar exchange.

Both players were PSG targets before being transferred to Camp Nou Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund respectively.

However, they have been disappointing for Ernesto Valverde's club and Barca is keen to cash them if it helps to bring Neymar back.

The Brazilian is also attracting Real Madrid's interest, but reports released earlier this week suggested that an incredible £ 1.2m a week financial package would be needed to get Neymar out of PSG. .

According to AS, the staggering wage demands of Neymar would be an integral part of any move from Parc des Princes to Bernabeu, with Zinedine Zidane eager to galvanize his team with a Galactico signing.

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel also recently admitted that he could not guarantee both Neymar and star striker Kylian Mbappe would show up for the club next season.

Both players are linked to moves out of the Parc des Princes and, although Tuchel wants them to stay, he says he's not "naive enough" to badume anything.

French striker Mbappe hinted at a departure when he admitted that he was open to a "new project" at a prize-giving ceremony earlier this month .

PSG official Tuchel, who was in Monaco for Sunday's Grand Prix, told Sky Sports: "I'm used to that. Now we are in May, what I say now may not be true next month.

"Things are as they are, there is a lot of speculation, which means that we have a lot of quality and talent.

"My wish as a manager and as a coach is clear: I want all my players to stay at PSG and stay in our project. The work is not over, it just started.

"My wish is clear, but I can not promise it would be naïve and I do not want to be naive in this matter."
