The Neymar transfer saga intensifies. Bleacher Report insider Dean Jones writes on his personal Twitter account that the Brazilian's potential Paris Saint-Germain exit and Barcelona return 'has gathered such momentum that you really can't rule this transfer out'.
Moreover, Jones continues that Neymar's family is allegedly 'ready to move to Spain if it happens'. He singles out this factor as one of the most 'significant' given the close ties between the 27-year-old and his closest entourage.
Earlier on Tuesday, Diario Sport exclusively reported on the verbal agreement in principle between Neymar and FC Barcelona. The Brazilian is seeking the La Liga return in order to reinstall himself among the football greats. He is even ready to accept a huge pay cut. The same source believe Neymar could receive around €22-24million per year in comparison to his current €37million annual salary.
At PSG, Neymar has never managed to win the Champions League; moreover, his neverending ankle injuries didn't allow him to play in the most crucial stages of this competition. This season, the Brazilian missed both legs of the UCL Round of 16 against Manchester United while last year he only played in the first match of the aggregate 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the same round.
Moreover, Neymar is no longer the Parisians' best player and precious asset. While trying to leave Messi's shadow, he has found himself behind Kylian Mbappe, the 20-year-old World Champion with France and the 2018 Ballon d'Or nominee.
