It’s one week to go until the end of the European transfer window, Neymar‘s name continues to dominate headlines.
Left out of PSG’s game 4-0 win against Toulouse at the weekend but with boss Thomas Tuchel suggesting he wants to keep the Brazilian striker in the French capital, sources have told ESPN FC’s Moises Llorens that Barca are preparing one last bid for Neymar’s services.
Barca are one of three clubs, alongside Real Madrid and Juventus, interested in signing the 27-year-old, but sources have said that Barca CEO Oscar Grau, director Eric Abidal and executive Javier Bordas will meet with PSG sporting director Leonardo on Tuesday.
The offer is supposed to be a loan deal with an €170 million obligatory option to buy back Neymar’s contract after one season, according to sources. Reports coming from Spain suggests that the deal could include a player such as Ousmane Dembele going to PSG.
The latest offer would be the third attempt to get Neymar back to Barcelona. Previous offers have include Ivan Rakitic and Philippe Coutinho, who is now at Bayern Munich.
Injuries to Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani at the weekend could yet stop the deal. With the two stars out for PSG it would be understandable if PSG stalls until the close of the window. Herald NG will continue to bring you the latest about the story.
