What if these negotiations are just to sell Coutinho to PSG and not even buy Neymar.
I'd actually rather see us give 100M plus Coutinho plus Rakitic than just 100M plus Coutinho. At least then it would be worth it seeing that snake in our colors again. Between him and Rakitic, he's the lesser of two evils. And we can always sell him on again for like 150M still, if he and his father start to bullshit us again in like 2 years, i'd imagine. Especially if by that time Messi would still be our main man.
Ronaldo is 2nd best by all means.
Worst Case Scenario:
1. Barca swap Rakitic + Coutinho + $$$ for Neymar.
2. We face PSG away at the UCL Quarter-finals.
3. Neymar gets injured before the match.
4. Dembele gets injured before the match.
5. Valverde choses Umtiti for CB, Sergi Roberto for RB and Busquets & Vidal for midfield.
6. Suarez misses two easy goals. (standard away misses)
7. Alba has a brainfart. (standard away brainfart)
8. Rakitic and Coutinho play amazing and score 2 screamers each.
9. We lose 4-0 away (standard away Barca UCL loss margin) and are eliminated.
10. The board contacts PSG at the end of the season to offer them messi + 100m and get back Rakitic & Coutinho.
Best Case Scenario:
1. Barca swap Rakitic + Coutinho + $$$ for Neymar.
2. We face PSG away at the UCL Quarter-finals.
3. Rakitic and coutinho both start for PSG and have a terrible UCL QF game (standard UCL QF terrible game for both).
4. Griezmann nutmegs Rakitic for revenge every chance he gets.
5. Neymar scores a hatrick. (0-3)
6. Messi scores a brace. (0-5)
7. Suarez misses two easy goals. (standard away misses, can't avoid this one)
8. Alba has a brainfart (standard away brainfart, can't avoid this one too) and we concede one. (1-5)
9. Sergi Roberto scores a goal in the 96th minute after a Neymar assist. (1-6)
10. Neymar makes a press conference and says that this is his new best moment ever in football.
Treble is basically confirmed with Neymar's arrival.
