Today’s fluff is admiring the view
Barcelona and
Paris Saint-Germain could be picking up the phone to one another a fair bit across the next fortnight, with theCatalan club’s desire for a rendezvous with Neymar the worst kept secret on the planet. If Barça get things their own way, they could end up with a plum deal. They are set to make an offer to re-sign the 27-year-old on loan this week, and are keen to insert a clause whereby they can land the Brazilian on a permanent deal next summer. Neymar has itchy feet and is keen to depart
France, while
Italy is another plausible destination, with
Juventus sniffing around.
Then there is
Real Madrid, who are willing to throw in any number of bells and whistles to gain the upper hand over their La Liga rivals in pursuit of Neymar. Real are happy to throw in Raphaël Varane and even the 19-year-old Vinícius Júnior to get a deal over the line for the forward, who joined PSG for a world-record fee of £200m two years ago.
