Barca star, Neymar
Barcelona forward Neymar has reportedly agreed terms with Paris Saint-Germain over a six-year contract, according to Bleacher report.
Carlos Carpio of Marca, reportedly said that Neymar's father
recently met with PSG sporting director, Antero Henrique and board
member, Sophie Jordan to finalise the transfer.
Carpio suggested the deal will go through when PSG "deposit the
€222 million of [Neymar's] termination clause, which it appears will be
done via the personal sponsorship of Qatar."
Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol provided further figures included in the report:
The initial report suggested the salary Neymar would earn at the
Parc des Princes would match that of his Barcelona team-mate Lionel
Messi.
According to Carpio, the Brazilian came close to leaving the
Blaugrana last summer, with Manchester City, Real Madrid and PSG all
interested in taking him away from the Camp Nou.
PSG are said to be staying calm despite the pace at which the potential deal is moving, although "according to what the player's father has said to [PSG], it seems that this time Neymar will keep his word."
The report was echoed by a source Bryan Swanson of Sky Sports News quoted:
Neymar was in action for Barcelona on Saturday in New Jersey,
netting twice in a dazzling performance against Juventus. After that 2-1
win, Blaugrana manager Ernesto Valverde downplayed the speculation.
"Barca are not going to go without Neymar," he said, per Sport. "We want him with us. We know the importance he has in our play."
If PSG were to land the Barcelona man, it would smash the
world-record transfer fee. That figure stands at £89 million, which
Manchester United paid to re-sign Paul Pogba from Juventus in the summer
of 2016.

For Barca, Neymar's departure would be a significant blow, as he
has been crucial to their success in recent seasons alongside Messi and
Luis Suarez.
However, if PSG are willing to buy the player out of his Barcelona
contract, and the man himself is enticed by the Parc des Princes
project, there is little the Catalan giants can do to prevent this
transfer from going through.
