- PSG are unhappy with the players offered by Barca; the Parisians keep pushing for getting Coutinho and Semedo while the Catalans’ plan is to sell Ivan Rakitic instead of the Portuguese (L’Equipe).
- Real Madrid are still in the run, however, the Los Blancos seem to be less engaged than Barca as Neymar’s purchase is only Florentino Perez’s matter of concern (Mundo Deportivo).
- The talks are considered to be stalled due to Barca’s decision to pass their turn to Neymar (Sport).
- Still, it’s believed that the negotiations are continued “in silence” while Barca’s delegation has scheduled another Paris meeting on Monday, August 19 (ESPN; SoccerLink).
💬 Suggestions:
- With the transfer window closing in half a month and Neymar lacking fitness, we expect the talks to take a while.
- Neymar’s future is not with PSG but we’ll likely find out the end of the saga only at the end of August.
