The nervousness with respect to Neymar grows with the suspicion. In Barcelona they intuit that the continuous refusals of the PSG to the offers of the intermediaries that negotiate on behalf of the Barça club can be decisive. And they have to do with the great Parisian foreman, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, old nemesis of the Barcelona leaders, prefer to see the Brazilian in Real Madrid. On the other hand, in the white club, cautious in this entanglement, with no offer yet, and despite being aware that the door that opens, media and sports, is a great temptation, they are also suspicious. In this case, because they assume and ensure that Neymar's priority is to sign for Barcelona. Although they also know that the striker would not hesitate to set course for the Bernabéu if Josep Maria Bartomeu, the plenipotentiary president of Granada, was not able to convince the PSG in the coming days.
The environment of Neymar has not only courted Barcelona, but also Real Madrid. Fearing the Brazilian striker to remain locked in his Parisian gold cage, and convinced that he will not wear the PSG shirt again, the offers to both clubs have been constant in recent weeks . The position of Josep Maria Bartomeu and Florentino Pérez, however, differs. While the top Barca leader is willing to go all the way in his effort to bring together the offensive trident that the Berlin Champions League and his electoral triumph gave him in 2015 - and thus compose a pharaonic quartet with Griezmann -, the white president awaits events . Bartomeu intends a galactic Barcelona. Florentino monitors the safe and is not willing to pay a large outlay .
If the conditions are favorable, yes, Real Madrid will not hesitate to incorporate Neymar, although in the white box there is a division in terms of the convenience of recruiting the Brazilian. He does not doubt his category as a footballer nor the media coup that would mean taking away from Barcelona a footballer for whom he has been fighting all summer. Mistrust is born both in the price of the player and in a card that would threaten stability in the locker room.
Paid transfer or exchange of soccer players
The main setback for both Barcelona and Real Madrid are the economic demands of the PSG, which aims to recover the investment made two years ago, when it paid the 222 million euros of the player's clause. Hence, Barcelona intends, either a paid assignment, or a payment of less than 100 million euros , but with the inclusion of soccer players. Rakitic has no intention of being part of this operation, while from the Barcelona club they assume that Coutinho has many options to remain in the Camp Nou after frustrating the option of joining the Tottenham.
On the white side, neither Luka Modric is open to bartering. Florentino Pérez had to reassure the Croatian soccer player a few days ago. Gareth Bale or James Rodríguez, that is, white discards, could be part of the business, as long as the PSG accepted it. In Real Madrid, in any case, they plan to hurry until the last days of the market knowing that time is in their favor.
Meanwhile, the PSG, for the first time this summer, has rushed to find a solution. Leonardo de Araújo, sports director of the Parisian club, took advantage of an informal meeting with journalists to warn: « The talks have advanced, but the PSG is not yet ready to accept . We'll see what happens. We all need the future to be defined, ”France Press reported. Aware of the impact of the message, the former Brazilian international did not go further and did not name the club or the clubs he referred to.
A while later it was Thomas Tuchel, PSG coach, who announced that Neymar would not dress short for Sunday's game against Nimes with which Paris Saint-Germain opens his participation this season in Ligue 1. «He is in An individual training phase. He returns after his ankle injury. He hasn't done a full week with the team, so he's not in a position to play, ”Tuchel argued.
Neymar, meanwhile, waits and plays. Off the field.
