3 reasons why Barca remain optimistic over Neymar return

• Main rivals Real Madrid are unlikely to sign Neymar because they haven’t offloaded Gareth Bale yet while Barca have just parted ways with Philippe Coutinho.
• PSG, for their part, are reportedly bombarding the Catalans with constant calls as the sides are working frantically to reach an agreement.
• Finally, Neymar could add a much-needed push as he is allegedly getting impatient with his future still unresolved.

Sport believe Barcelona officials are going to travel to Paris once again to finalize the operation. The Catalans would prefer signing Neymar on a loan deal with an obligation to buy next year. On Sunday, Goal revealed that the Parisians could demand 220-250 million euros for the Brazilian in the summer of 2020.

Previously, Philippe Coutinho’s most recent loan move to Bayern Munich put a huge question mark on Neymar’s eventual Barcelona return. He was the most valuable player for PSG. However, Ivan Rakitic, Nelson Semedo and Ousmane Dembele could be used as part of the Neymar deal, as per Diario Sport.
