Barca and PSG ‘agree Neymar deal’

Barcelona have finally reached a deal to re-sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain, according to Sky Italy. It is reported that an agreement has finally been found between the two clubs, with the Brazil forward set to put his signature to the move upon arrival in Barcelona. Neymar left Barca two years ago after scoring more than 100 goals for the club, winning two league titles, three Copa del Rey trophies and the Champions League.

An earlier Afp report adds: Neymar trained with his Paris Saint-Germain teammates on Wednesday as reports in France and Spain indicated a protracted deal to take him back to his old club Barcelona may still be reached before the transfer deadline. The transfer window closes on Monday, September 2, leaving Barcelona in a race against time to come to an agreement with PSG that would allow the Brazilian to get his desired transfer back to the Camp Nou.

French sports daily L'Equipe reported that, after previous failed attempts, Barcelona had made a new offer of 160 million euros ($177.3m), paid in two instalments, which could convince PSG to finally sell, provided at least one player is thrown in as a makeweight. According to Le Parisien, Barcelona are willing to pay a slightly lower fee, between 140 and 150 million euros, while also offering Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic as well as allowing Ousmane Dembele to return to France on loan.

However, the agent of 22-year-old French World Cup-winning winger Dembele insisted his client was not interested in being used as bait in a deal for Neymar. "Ousmane is 100 percent staying. There is no chance of him leaving. He wants to establish himself at Barca and he will," Moussa Sissoko told French television station TF1.
