From France: Barcelona make new offer for Neymar – Paris Saint-Germain still to respond

Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain are said to be negotiating the transfer of Neymar this Tuesday afternoon, and according to the latest reports from France, the Catalan side have made a new bid for the player.

Le Parisien claims that Barça are now offering €170m to sign the Brazilian star. Now instead of a loan with an option to buy, the club would be ready to take him on a permanent deal, with the fee to be paid in two instalments.

Paris Saint Germain are still to give a response about this offer, Le Parisien says. It’s club director Leonardo who’s been in charge of the talks, instead of president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.

On Barcelona’s behalf, the negotiations are being handled by Eric Abidal, Oscar Grau and Javier Bordas. Pini Zahavi is the agent representing Neymar.

Le Parisien writes a couple of times that PSG ‘still’ haven’t said yes, so they sound a little optimistic the French side may end up accepting a bid soon.
