Neymar, the new twist

Keen to leave Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar is reportedly ready to accept a Saudi offer, but only if he can have a season at Barcelona first.

The Neymar soap opera is becoming more and more complex. While he seemed to be leaving to stay at Paris Saint-Germain, the Brazilian would have told his leaders of his desire to leave France this summer, information however denied by his entourage.

In recent hours, Saudi Arabia has taken the opportunity to return to the charge with PSG, not for Kylian Mbappé, for whom the cause seems heard, but for the Brazilian striker. And Neymar would be ready to be tempted, but on one condition: that he can be loaned to Barcelona for a season.

This is the version developed this Wednesday by Sport. It could suit the player, who wants to return to Catalonia six years after his departure, and who could sign a contract in Saudi Arabia similar to the one he currently has with PSG, until 2026. It would also be very favorable to Barça , who could find a way to recover his former striker with an affordable salary, provided he finds common ground with the Saudis.

Will they accept? The Saudis would have to agree to pay a large sum to PSG, while signing a nice check for Neymar, without taking advantage of the Brazilian during the next season. But if that’s the only option, maybe they’ll make that concession. For Barça, and its bloodless finances, it is the only possible solution for a return of the former prodigy of Santos, assures Sport.
