I'm sorry but we're too big of a club to force a guy who wants to leave to keep playing for us. No one is bigger than the club and it'd be embarrassing to see Neymar have to "settle" here if we try to sue him. Get that rat and any trace of his money-grubbing dad out of Barca.
Sure, we can negociate with PSG. 300m. or 150 + Verratti. Take it or leave it.

I agree with you in this respect. Those are my feelings exactly. However, this Cabaret has turned into something bigger than Neymar, Barça, and La Liga. We cannot let a team, with unlimited resources, raid our players. Even if there is no release clause. What is going to stop them from coming to Messi, for example, and tell him, through intermediaries, "do not renew with Barça because when you become a free-agent we'll give you a €300 mil signing bonus + €75 mil/year for 5 years." Do you think that Messi will renew for Barça and he will play all out his final year of the contract or try not to get hurt?
This is survival of football as we know it. There are already teams like Chelsea, ManU, and Man City owned by billionaires that are trying to play within the rules. If PSG is allowed to get away with this robbery, the others will also follow suit. Furthermore, only teams with unlimited budget that they do not care if they are profitable will only succeed. No sir. You cannot use pseudo sponsors to infuse money. La Liga will become a second tier league.
If it goes to court, which I seriously doubt, it could take years to resolve. In the meantime, Neymar has to play for us.
Let Ney sue us and/or La Liga. The more law suits the better for us. The more time...
'Next big thing' sounds weird to me the guy is 25 i would say Mbappe is the next big thing.
anyways hopefully this reaches its conclusion this week. i hated this saga but the forum has been so active its been fun
Geniuses like Neymar come at a price. They are not together upstairs. Look at Caravaggio, Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Beethoven, Mozart, or even Maradona and his sniffing problems. Garrincha was a fall-down drunk and so was the Swedish Tenor Jessi Bjoerling. Ronaldo is just too arrogant and narcissistic. Messi is just incredible. He got married to his childhood sweetheart since he was 12! He is nothing but loyal to Barça and is very humble. He is more than priceless! He is the face of Barça!
Messi is a genius, Neymar isnt. Penaldo isn't.
Maradona was a genius, Cruyff was a genius. George Best was a he. Brazilian Ronaldo. Pele.
There's few of them.
