PSG superstar Neymar is pushing for a sensational return to Barcelona but according to the latest rumors, the Brazilian will not come cheap.
With Lionel Messi gone and Kylian Mbappe put up for sale, the Selecao ace could be the latest star to leave the Parc des Princes. The player has reportedly asked to leave the French capital after growing unsettled following a fan-led protest outside his house in May, with the player yearning for a second spell in Catalonia. The Ligue 1 champions, meanwhile, are eager to get the 31-year-old off their wage book and are thus open to selling.
However, he won't go for cheap. According to AS, PSG have slapped an outstanding €150M ($165M) price tag on the player. This could rule out a sale to Barcelona, as a result.
It should be noted that the Blaugrana have not made a decision regarding the Brazilian. When asked about the links following the 4-2 Joan Gamper Trophy win over Tottenham, Xavi did not rule out a move for his former teammate. However, the club's financial woes are well documented.
It should also be noted that PSG are open to a loan. This would get the player off their books and could pave the way for a La Liga switch. The attacker is also garnering interest from Saudi Arabia and the MLS.
As of now, both Neymar and his employers are preparing for the 2023-24 Premier League campaign, which kicks off this Friday with Nice vs. Lille. PSG will be in action over the weekend, taking on Lorient at the Parc des Princes this Saturday. Fans in the USA can catch the French top flight on beIN Sports' array of platforms while Fanatiz USA and fuboTV will stream the upcoming season.
