The Catalan press reveals that Paris Saint-Germain tried to include Neymar in the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé. But FC Barcelona did not want to.
Definitely, this transfer of Ousmane Dembélé to Paris Saint-Germain is not as clear as one could have imagined, with the classic history of the club which lifts a release clause for a player and recruits him. The capital club started negotiations with FC Barcelona, and in the course of the discussions, the name of Neymar appeared.
“During the conversations that took place between clubs, PSG again offered the possibility of a loan from Neymar to Barça, but the operation was totally rejected”indicates Sport this Thursday.
According to the Catalan daily, PSG tried it because they knew that Neymar would probably accept a return to Barça. But the operation was not financially feasible. And Xavi would estimate that “For the current project, the Brazilian is not the player the dressing room needs. »
At PSG, Neymar’s status remains rather vague. The capital club clearly tried to sell him last summer, in vain, but this year the situation is a little different with the departure of Lionel Messi and the soap opera Kylian Mbappé. The Brazilian No. 10, meanwhile, has just made a remarkable return to the field with a nice double and an assist in PSG’s victory against the Koreans of Jeonbuk (3-0), in a friendly.
