FC Barcelona have reached an agreement with Neymar for his future contract. It remains to have all this validated by La Liga and above all to find common ground with PSG, but the Brazilian is making a huge wage effort.
No waste of time for Neymar. Officially informed by PSG on Wednesday that he was on the transfer list, the Brazilian reached an agreement almost immediately with FC Barcelona. The Brazilian has wanted to return to where he played at his best for almost five years, and each time his club has kept him against his will. Or, it was the Catalan giant’s financial problems that prevented his return. This time, an important step has been taken according to journalist José Alvarez, who announces that an agreement in principle has been reached between Barça and his former player. It is a two-year contract for a salary of 13 million euros. Proof that the “Ney” is eager to make big financial sacrifices to find Catalonia, while he is paid almost three times more at PSG, and has a contract valid until 2027.

With Barcelona, this agreement for a two-year contract, and an optional third year, in any case allows negotiations to begin between clubs. This is obviously the most difficult part, because PSG does not intend to sell off a player who still has a good market value even if, at 31 and with a string of major injuries in recent years, the Brazilian is very far from be worth the 222 ME spent to sign him in 2017. This effort in any case allows a glimpse of a transfer, because even if the Catalan club is in great financial difficulty, including to register its recruits, the arrival of Neymar is capable of create a craze that brings back sponsors, ticketing and marketing, especially with a salary that is certainly generous but revised considerably downwards.
According to the Catalan press, the Blaugranas should finalize two major departures in addition to Ousmane Dembélé, to offer the services of Neymar. Ansu Fati is often mentioned, and Raphinha could also be targeted to make room on the front line. There are therefore still many steps before seeing the Santos prodigy find the club that revealed him in Europe, but a first major step has been taken. Neymar thus took the opportunity to show his motivation to leave PSG, he who should not play the first match of the season against Lorient due to a “virus” according to the Parisian medical staff.
