Barcelona have already made attempts to sign the tricky attacker this summer, according to Sky Sports Germany, the La Liga champions made an offer of €100m plus two players to PSG. This was a massive improvement to their initial offer of €40m plus two players.
Sky Sports Germany’s report understands that Philippe Coutinho, Ivan Rakitic, Nelson Semedo and Malcom are on the list of six players that Barcelona are willing to offer in a part-exchange deal.
Even with the inclusion of players, Barcelona will still have to stump up a insane figure to the French giants, it’s understood that PSG are after €150M for the Brazilian’s signature according to AS.
Ernesto Valverde’s attack would be unstoppable if Neymar returns to Barcelona this summer, the 27-year-old would lineup alongside the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.
Neymar formed a frightening partnership with Suarez and Messi during his four-year spell with the Spanish giants, Ernesto Valverde’s side would undoubtedly become favourites for every competition – including the Champions League, if they were to sign the superstar this summer.
