The only way to make Messi stay now seems to be by bringing in additional forces and talent on the team. The relentless pursuit of star striker, Lautaro Martinez, now also seems to be in dangerous waters with his release clause expired. If the Catalans now fail to unite the two Argentine nationals, they may very well bid adieu to Leo Messi.

As a final attempt to salvage the situation, the Catalan side is ready to part with 2 talented players in exchange for just one. In order to secure Neymar this season, the Catalans have left no stone unturned and these difficult times have made them desperate to sign the Brazilian and recreate the MSN trio. The arrival of Neymar could be the only thing stopping Messi from walking out the door at this point and to make this happen the Spanish side are ready to part with 2 megastars.

Antoine Griezmann and fellow countryman Ousmane Dembele have both had their share of ups and downs with the club and could be saying goodbye to the Blaugrana shirt. While Griezmann was brought in with a record 120 million euro signing, the 29-year-old forward has had only a few bouts of success too far and between to impress the board who are now looking to part ways with him,  using his sale to secure Neymar, which could be the perfect solution to keeping Messi at Camp Nou.

Young Dembele, on the other hand, has been victim to recurring injuries that have taken a toll on him and his performance. The 23-year-old has managed very few appearances this season and has failed to create any lasting impact that would persuade the hierarchy to keep him on.

With the Catalans looking to cut their losses and bring back Neymar who also desires a return, this could be a very lucrative deal for the Parisiennes as they gain 2 talented Frenchmen at the loss of one player who is very reluctant to stay on anyway.
