Barcelona have been trying their best to raise funds in order to sign Neymar. The Brazilian superstar left the Camp Nou in 2017 and joined Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite displaying incredible form by scoring18 goals and providing 10 assists in 22 matches across all competitions Neymar wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain and return back to Barcelona. Lionel Messi has succeeded in pressurising Bartomeu to make Neymar the club’s primary transfer target in the upcoming transfer window.

The Spanish giants are in a great deal of financial strain caused by the outbreak of coronavirus and are finding it extremely tough to fulfil Messi’s demand to bring Neymar back to the Camp Nou. The Parisians will try to recover the most out of the 222 million euros they spent to sign the Brazilian, but have reportedly agreed to reduce his asking price to 164 million euros now.

To make matters worse for Barcelona, Don Balon has stated that Manchester United has joined the race to sign Neymar in the upcoming transfer window. The Red Devils are in a stage of re-establishing the attack in their squad and plan on offering 165 million euros to get the Brazil international to the Old Trafford to play alongside the creative minds of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes. He is yet to respond to the interest shown by Manchester United and might be waiting to see if the Red Devils manage to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Barca mustn’t let the Brazilian superstar join the English giants as they will lose out on the opportunity to bring in a potential successor to Messi. Signing Neymar will also help improve the captain’s morale in the club which hasn’t been great ever since his conflict with the club’s director Eric Abidal.

Another benefit of signing the Brazilian international is that it will release the pressure of Ansu Fati and Antoine Griezmann who have been overused and overstretched this season due to the injury of Luis Suarez.

The Blaugrana must fast-track the sales of their players such as Philippe Coutinho, Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic and Samuel Umtiti to gather sufficient funds to submit a lucrative transfer offer for Neymar. Barcelona could potentially even try to include these players as add-ons in the future transfer offers in order to tempt PSG to reduce their asking price.
