I love how everyone here says that Neymar's value has dropped down while forgetting that Coutinho and Dembele's values have dropped even worse. The first one hasn't played proper football in more than a year. The second one is still a good prospect but hasn't confirmed much at Barca, and was bought for more than his real price anyway. I wouldn't want to lose Dembele to get Neymar if I were a Barca fan, but it has more to do with the fact that Ney's attitude is despicable. Value-wise, that 2 for 1 swap would make sense. Football wise, it wouldn't be complete bullshit imo: let's face it, if the board and Valverde want to play Dembele-Griezmann-Messi as mentioned earlier, getting Neymar instead of Dembouz would be a huge improvement right now. Sure, Dembele is younger, he might reach Neymar's level, but it's not a given. And he'll never be as marketable. For PSG, Neymar leaving would be a hard blow, but if you can get Coutinho as a CAM instead of Neymar while also getting Dembele on the left, allowing you to play a Dembele-Cavani-Mbappe front three with Cou behind them... You're adding depth to your squad, and you let go of a player who obviously want to leave. Not to mention that Dembele would be way more marketable in France than in Spain.
Not saying it will happen. Not saying I want it to happen (my secret hope is that Nasser will just send Neymar in PSG B for 3 years
). Just saying that it kinda makes sense, if you just look at the big picture.
