🗣 [@gerardromero] | Real Madrid has shown interest in signing Neymar. PSG is dying to transfer him to Madrid and not Barça.
Barcelona considers that it would be key for Neymar to make a public appearance making it clear that he wants to return to Barça. The 6-1 memory and the story were good inputs, but something more forceful is needed.
This appearance is needed so that PSG cannot listen to other proposals and would be forced to carry out the operation with Barça and not auction the player to the highest bidder as they are trying now.
For a month now, Barça have proposed several offers, with players, with money, with loans and Leonardo has been knocking down all those that were made because they do not want to sell to the Barça.
Coutino, Dembelé, Rakitic are players who have appeared in the talks but for now, nothing concrete. PSG also wants Semedo or Todibo to enter.
Florentino wants Neymar in his project, Madrid's preseason has been unconvincing and Perez believes that with this deal he can stop criticism. Zidane does not want Neymar. The player prefers FC Barcelona.
In summary, the Barça believes that if Neymar is clearly positioned, PSG will be forced to negotiate with them (which they don't feel like) and the agreement can be closed. Via loan with purchase option or players + money.
