Barca to approach PSG for a loan deal for Neymar

In the latest bid to sign Neymar Jr, Barcelona directors Javier Bordas and Andre Cury and Neymar's friend Alvaro Costa have flown to France today to table their third bid for Neymar this season to the Ligue 1 club. The Catalan side are supposed to approach PSG for loan deal for Neymar with an option to buy the player with € 170 million on 2020 or 2021, as reported by leparisien.

Neymar is currently the most wanted player in the transfer market with football heavy-weights Real Madrid also in the race. The Galacticos latest offer of Gareth Bale, Keylor Navas, James Rodriguez and €100m for Neymar was rejected by PSG according to L'Equipe before Barca’s loan offer.

However, there is little chance that Paris will be accepting such a deal as the French champions claim cash, at least €100 Million, and important players in the transaction like the French world champion Ousmane Dembele, who does not want to join Paris, or Nelson Semedo, the right-back, who prefers to stay in Barça. 

Barca don’t have huge sums of money to spend, having already spent more than €200m this summer on Antoine Griezmann, Frenkie De Jong, Junior Firpo and Neto. And as such the loan deal seems to be more suited for Barcelona at this moment. 

Neymar has scored 52 goals and 27 assists in 58 games he has managed in his two-and-a-half seasons in Paris, equating to 0.89 goals per game. In the Champions League, he managed 11 goals and five assists in 13 games. With Brazil, he has 60 goals and 41 assists in 97 games: 0.68 goals per game on average.
