A front 3 of Rashford, Lukaku and Neymar is enough to give me that funny feeling downstairs.
Neymar joins PSG on a five year deal

What was it he said, "some serious financial muscel flexing" Might of omited the financial actually IIRC
Its been long reported that they can not afford to sing and keep all 3 of MSN and give them improved contracts. That one will have to go or not get a better deal and Messi was the one that could leave as he is nto the player he was and will be on the slide as the years go by. But we already know its not him.
Maybe Neymar is just getting his swing in first, in the who stays and who goes, Game of Catalones
He might still be accurate, in he was informed, but that he's just being played.
PSG can afford the €220m fee because 100 to 150m can easily be raised by selling Aurier, Matuidi, Krychowiak, Lucas and even Di Maria if needed.
The problem, as it was last year would be Neymar's extravagant wage demands, to keep the wages structure under control and wages being especially costly for French employers.

Is Neymar's clause indeed "just" 222 million EUR?
Think there is anything in it?
Also you must remember that Neymar's wages would be absolutely mammoth. A solid £30-45m a year imagine.
Di Marzio's rep has taken a hit this window imo.
It may well be true that they are ready to pay that. Doesn't mean it's going to happen though. Hence it's a pointless statement from Di Marzio
Could be like others have suggested, a retaliatory way to attempt to unsettle a Barcelona player the way Verratti has his head turned. PSG is a Brasilian haven more & more and Neymar has two of his closest teammates there in T.Silva & Alves. Player would have to want to move and despite rumours now coming out of him not wanting to stay in Leo's shadow, I think he actually enjoys the relationship at Barcelona. But Neymar Sr. et al know the best way to grow your brand is to make big moves like this
The first signs of the cracks in the relationship with fans started this year though and tied to the annual retreat he has come to be known for with his sister's birthday
PSG cannot afford this release clause and salary. They won't be selling 6 players to fund this deal either.
Too big a gamble for United at fees quoted. However...best player out there if he's available...I am a gambling man...

No club in the world will spend £200 million plus on a player no matter who it is. The risk is just too big.
Can you just imagine the club accountants faces when informed by the owners/board that their nicely balanced books are being tossed out the window in favour of a one-off payment of £200 million plus?? Good jesus they would all quit over the trauma of it

This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen a reference to his sister's birthday.......what gives...?
He's very close to his sister and usually makes sure he's suspended when her birthday's coming up so he can go to Brazil. Or something.
Hah! Legend. Not sure if this is true or not, but I like his style.
Cersei & Jaime scenario? No idea. He misses matches around March 11 (Sister's bday)
Barcelona should surprise him but benching him for the game before so he can't get that yellow/red card for the suspension.
On the topic, I doubt Neymar would go even if PSG pays the release clause. He's just angling for a Messi like contract
Why doesn't he just agree it with Barca and they just don't pick him?
which only PSG can offer, and apparently, are offering
Hope Barca gets desperate and breaks their wage structure for him.
Then it all spirals out of control.
To be honest, Neymar deserves the big contract more that Messi. Barcelona should've cashed in with Messi
Actually, i've read their revenue for 2016/17 was €708M, with a profit of €18M before taxes
I reeeeally would like to see whether they can afford to give neymar such a contract
yeah I suspect he will end up signing a new contract at some point this year with a much bigger buy out clause (and wages)
I sincerely disagree.
In this market, I think he is actually worth it.
That's fine, just my opinion.
Messi is a great player but his shelf life is limited. Maybe he has 5 years left (if that) at the top?
If his new contract is putting a massive strain on the wage structure and potentially causing Neymar to go else where, then I think Barcelona would be better off cashing in on Messi and keeping Neymar.
And with the astronomical fee that Messi would have commanded, Barcelona could've funded massive improvements to the team.

PSG source to L'Equipe: "We won't do the Neymar show again. He has a huge release clause, we must be realistic."
Why?
He had arguably his best/second best season last year and if he leaves it will be back to Argentine in 3-4 years time I would imagine. In fact the presence of messi is one of the main reasons I don't see Neymar leaving.
why would he want to go to the piss hole? they are never going to win the CL, most of the games in Ligue 1 are a bloody stroll and surely he's earning as much at Barca...
PSG said feck you to Barca as a signal about Verratti and Di Marzio got his clicks. Nothing to see here.
Was wrong about Morata iirc and now this. No club is going to pay this kinda dough for one player, no matter who it is.
All he said about Morata was that we were negotiating, which Mourinho confirmed.
How rich are PSG?
Few years ago they refused to pay 60m for Di Maria because of FFP

What the hell.
About €550m turnover and growing with around 55% wages to turnover ratio, which leaves some margin for investment.How rich are PSG?

3 years ago PSG couldn't recruit because it was under FFP sanctions, lifted since then and already spent most of the allowance on David Luiz.
Barcelona should get their shit together and sign a couple of noodle company sponsorships to pay Neymar's wages. They have it all setup to dominate the world football commercially in the years to come and yet they seem to not fully realize the potential. Keeping both Messi and Neymar should still be a priority.
sorry but I can't see any club paying 200m for a player.
Are they are a reliable source?
Why are Barca struggling financially. The most successfull team of the last 10 years you would think they could afford to give neymar a new contract
