PSG responds to the opening bid of Barcelona's most paying player for Neymar

PSG has apparently accepted the fact that Neymar wants an exit, but they will let him move for the right price.

It is understood that the Paris club is proposing to recover the £ 189m that it paid for Neymar just two years ago and that it is not willing to negotiate.
