Barcelona delegation met Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo in Paris to discuss to discuss about Neymar on Tuesday.
Speaking to RMC Sport on Thursday, Leonardo stressed there’s ‘nothing advanced’ for the forward’s transfer.
For better or worse, the ongoing saga will be resolved in coming days, claims Sport on Friday.
During the summit in Paris, PSG demanded €222m for the Brazilian and the price could be reduced if Barca include players as a part of the deal. The French side are looking for €100m plus players.
PSG are willing to take Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Rakitic as a part of the deal, but the former value the duo around €122m and expect an addition of €100m in cash, which is not acceptable for the Camp Nou side.
Barca believe Neymar’s asking price has dropped to €160m and it could be matched by offering Coutinho and Rakitic to PSG.
The two clubs are looking to find a viable formula and sources involved in the negotiation ensure progress could be made in the coming hours.
Barcelona has asked the 27-year-old for a ‘final gesture’.
Those at the Catalan club state the Blaugrana could complete Neymar’s transfer in 48 hours, if he publicly expressed his desire to join them. However, he continues to be silent.
PSG still remain tough on their stance, but Neymar’s desire to return to Barca and his high salary, could be decisive to close the deal.
