The Barcelona president is desperate to sign the former Brazilian winger once again since this time his position as the president of the club is on the line and the signing of Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain could act as a possible lifeline for Bartomeu since it would fulfil Lionel Messi’s long-awaited wish and with the backing of the captain, Bartomeu’s worries would be put to rest.
The entire situation regarding the return of the Parisian winger is highly complicated, Neymar himself desperately wants out from Paris Saint-Germain and is even willing to take a wage cut worth 50%, however, Paris Saint-Germain have taken full advantage of the current financial strain that Barca faces due to the impact for the COVID-19 outbreak.
The recently crowned Ligue 1 Champions are adamant on sticking to their price for the world’s most expensive player which is set at approximately 200 million euros and the French team will not accept any offer below their agreed figure.
To make matters worse for the Catalan team, Neymar has put forward a condition that he would only sign the Barcelona contract if they sign Thiago Silva along with him. Both the Brazilians are close friends as they share the same locker room in PSG and with the national team, Thiago Silva’s contract in France runs out in June and the former Barca winger believes that the addition of his compatriot in the Camp Nou would be beneficial due to his physical prowess and years of experience, according to Don Balon.
However, the former AC Milan defender is already 35 and the Blaugrana do not need another aged player in their squad as it already has several players past their prime. The Paris Saint-Germain captain still has another season in him due to his physical conditioning before he must hang up his boots, the defence at the Camp Nou has been poor this season but Quique Setien would require a younger defender instead rather than the experienced Thiago Silva.
Instead, the Catalans should give Jean Clair Todibo a shot at the first team after having a successful loan spell with FC Shalke 04, Ronald Araujo also has tremendous potential and with time Setien could help him develop his true potential as a defender.
Although every fan in the world would want the current La Liga leaders to focus on the youth team instead or sign a young defender, the report from Don Balon goes on to state that the board at Barca have considered signing Thiago Silva due to his experience and that the Brazilian is willing to take a major pay cut.
