I wish he'd wade in like Weaste in the old days and rescue me!!@FCBarca won't be able to handle it, this thread is like Christmas for him.

You're telling him if they were to throw 100-120m for Dembele, Dortmund wont accept the offer? Thats a 100m PROFIT for Dortmund. They will be foaming at the mouth with that kind of offer. Sure he isnt at Neymar's level now but he definitely has the potential to be great.
They won't be able to buy anyone and it certainly won't be anyone close enough to replace Neymar. So crux of the matter is, no Barca fans will be dancing on the streets. Not literally, not figuratively.
@Damien rightly pointed out to me that Neymar signed a new contract October last year. He's been making noise for a few years now already. I think this has legs
We'll see.

If they have any sense they would say no. Just like if United sold De Gea and tried to replace him, Dortmund know Barca would want him to replace Neymar so would demand most of that money.
It's his dream club, he will probably throw the tantrum of all tantrums if Barcelona whispers the right words.
Can someone summarise this thread please? Any chance of it happening?
They might. But that's significant amount and not exactly replacing Neymar who is on a different level. Anyway, i don't want to sound completely against his point as it isn't as clear cut and I do see the point that it can work out correctly if the money is somehow used wisely. But I wouldn't be dancing for sure if I was a Barca fan.
I know. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The reality is though, if the club don't consider a fee good enough to sell, the club will keep the player. The idea that any player Barcelona show an interest in will just throw a hissy fit and refuse to play for the club is ridiculous. They'll be fined for it and in worst case scenarios they could end up screwing up their careers ala Berahino. Realistically, Barcelona couldn't just decide they want Eden Hazard and because of that Chelsea are obliged to sell him. If Barca are only willing to offer £80m and Chelsea want £180m for him, either Barca pay that or Chelsea won't sell and take the chance that the player will get over it. Since he has a contract until 2020 they're not risking losing him on a free the next season. That's the situation Barca would encounter when looking to sign any of the best players in the world. Thus they'd need to sign top young talents from smaller clubs in the hope they'll reach world class standard. This will always carry risk though
Agreed. Only way this happens is if PSG pay up.
Tbf I don't want to sound harsh and I see your point. Just that I won't break into a dance.
I read that Barca are struggling financially to pay these contracts so are prepared to get rid of one of the front three. They will never sell Messi. Suarez is too old to fetch a huge fee. That leaves Neymar.
Still, I will believe this PSG deal when I see it. Sounds like a load of shite.
But why are Barca going to do that? He has 4 years left on his current deal which is no doubt financially mammoth. Barca's wage bill is already huge and out of control.
berahino tried it and ruined his career. btw nice name ninefingers
That's because West Ham decided he wasn't worth keeping and opted for the money. Being a smaller club, money will always be more important to consider than for players at bigger clubs. If they were absolutely intent on keeping Payet he'd still be there. They assessed the situation and decided the money would be more useful than the unhappy player
After Dimarzio's initial report there has been some other sources including bald head Castles reporting that Neymar has agreed to move to Psg for his Rc 220m. Barca now plan to buy Mbappe, Verratti and Dembele with that money thus FC Barca etc are dancing on the streets.
They can say no but what happens if the players openly says he wants to move? You wanna risk having an unhappy player? This isnt the 20m they rejected from Bayern we are talking about. This is 100-120m. That is a huge sum for any club.

So...that crazy rumor of us going in for Neymar last year might've actually had legs? Assuming there is some truth to this of course...
If Neymar joins PSG, does the Ligue 1 gains 200m watchers?
That is absolutely nuts and won't happen in a million years surely? Why would any team pay that amount of money for a player? Even in this silly market..
Are you a Barca supporter?
I'm guessing so. Fair play then. I can see your concern about finding a replacement, and how much it might cost. I still think the draw of Barcelona will far outweigh the loss though. If any of this bollocks is true.

Dortmund are a bigger club than West Ham sure but they are a selling club at the end of the day.
Neymar is close to be the biggest star in football, not the best player but a huge draw commercially. Qatar own PSG because they wanted a big exposure in Europe, Neymar will directly provide them that but he will also provide it to the league as a whole which should in return increase PSG's exposure even more.
How much would you think is Neymar is worth?
If he moves he would be the most expensive sure but not 200m worth. Around 130-140m and maybe 150m MAX with add-ons.
Could well be shite but it is possible especially since PSG have spent nothing this window. They're sitting on their whole budget
It depends on the club, for PSG he is probably worth the entirety of the 220m because he brings way more than his football skills.
I doubt it still. But PSG are a silly club with owners who have unlimited funds. This could also be another show of PSG's stubbornness regarding their own players and feck you to Barca for unsettling Verratti. (Remember the Verratti interview where he looked to be crying while pledging allegiance). Also, It isn't beyond the realms of possibility for Neymar to look to move to a club where he will be the biggest with a huge pay package and a chance to lead them to Cl glory which will put his name in the history books. It's crazy but it's believeable.
Dortmund probably would sell Dembele for about £120m but even that is a risk. He's a great talent but he's not world class yet. He might be a good replacement long term but when it gets to the point that he might replace Neymar's output Barca will probably need to replace Messi and Suarez. The point is that getting the best players in the world is very difficult now and so Barca would not be able to just replace Neymar with a player of the same quality. The best they could do is buy good young talent like Dembele. In some cases that will work (Dembele probably would) but it won't work all the time. Plenty of highly rated youngsters don't reach the potential it was once thought they had. Anderson is a good example of that.
Yeah it's most definitely marquee, but the possibility of an unfortunate injury, which I'd never wish, makes it financial madness.
Not really, they are not in it for money. There is no financial madness for Qatar as long as people look at PSG and say "That's PSG, the big club owned by the Emir Al Thani of Qatar, you know Qatar right?"
And injuries can happen to anyone, it could have happened to Ronaldo when he went for a crazy fee at the time.
Basically if Neymar goes to PSG then Liverpool will demand the majority of that fee, like.
Great yes, but a special game changer in the mould of Neymar, very unlikely. There are plenty of world class players out there, but there are only 5 or 6 genuine game changers in football and I am being generous here. The PL for example is full of the former whereas Neymar is one of the latter. That's why Barcelona and Real keep winning CLs and our teams don't.
If PSG are really paying this fee and wage, they are stupid beyond belief.
Personally, I don't think Neymar is in the game changing one man maestro that Ronaldo, Messi, fat Ronaldo, Maradonna is and so won't guarantee them CL. He is more like in the Suarez, Bale, Aguero category.
If Barcelona get that kind of money for him and can reinvest most of it back into their team, they will emerge a better side.

They will definitely ask Coutinho to push for a move. Thats how those cnuts at Barca work. They make the player force a move, the club and the player become disgruntled and they swoop in, make a bid and get the player.
of course it can, but when you're more than doubling the world record, equivalent to obe tenth of our clubs entire value, then the risk is far, far greater.
Disagree. If Ronaldo had sustained a serious injury at United before the Madrid move people in here would still be going on about it.
If PSG are going to absolutely shatter any semblance of sanity for half a billion on one player, that's a story. Everything has fundamentally changed, in my small opinion.
If they invest it wisely they can leapfrog Madrid again as the top dog in world football. Verratti, Mbappe and a quality right back make for a formidable 11.
Getting Verratti isnt easy tho. Why would PSG sell? They want to win the Champions League and they just added a serious piece to their puzzle to compete.
they make it a non negotiable as part of the deal.
