There was a quote from Marquinhos on barcastuff some minutes ago. He certainly seems open to a move. Whether PSG are willing to sell though...
Here's the full quote translated by myself to avoid any mistranslation from french version to english.
"Firstly, i want to say something about David, he's a friend of mine. He's a super nice guy, and a super player. By the way, I think he did the right choice to sign with PSG. Now though, when we see that footballers like David Luiz are arriving, it means that it will even more difficult for me. I know that... But i'm feeling good mentally and I will work even more. "
"I will talk with the club and with my agent about my future because the upcoming season is a very important one for me."
"Barcelona ? If Barcelona is interested in me, of course, it's something nice! Beside that, i can't say anything else about Barcelona."
Seems like they have to sell Marquinhos to reduce their wage bill (because of the cap). Hopefully Barça uses this to the max when they negotiate a possible transfer. We should be able to get him for less than what they paid Roma.
I don't think so.
From rumors here in France, we're more on the way to try to sell Lavezzi and Pastore. Many players here that will leave had overpaid wages. For example, Alex is paid 4 millions euros per year. DL is arriving for 6 millions per year. As you see, not much difference in wage bill.
As for marcos, it's nonsense to think we will sell him for less than what we paid for. He did a good enough season to prove he's a future very good CB, and maybe a possible megastar at this position.
If we sell him, dont expect any cheap price.
Nasser also explained that we will increase our revenues. Stade naming, and many new sponsors incoming for this fiscal year.
About our wage bill still:
All salary are NET
Those players will leave for sure now :
- Alex, 4 millions euros per year
- Menez, 3.36 millions euros per year.
- Chantome, 1.8 millions euros per year
- Jallet, 1.5 millions euros per year
- Bahebeck, 240k euros per year
Those might be sold (at least one of those two for sure imo) :
- Lavezzi, 4 millions euros per year.
- Pastore, 4.2 millions euros per year.

Beside that we got so far:
- David Luiz, 6 millions euros per year.
So far, we're not hitting the wage bill cap at all by signing Luiz.
