An intermediary has offered Barcelona’s Neymar to bitter rivals Real Madrid for a fee of £149 million (€192 million), according to a report by Spanish media outlet Cadena COPE (h/t the Sun’s Matt Heath-Smith).
Barcelona’s financial problems mean they are expected to be unable to cope with the Brazilian’s wage demands, with the former Santos starlet eager to drastically increase his current contract with the Camp Nou club.
Per Duncan Wright of the Sun, Barca are currently saddled with major debt and fear the financial turmoil should they bow to Neymar’s requests, despite significant interest from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
Due to strict ruling at the Catalan side, no player is allowed to earn more than Argentine striker Lionel Messi, meaning the 24-year-old will be forced to take a back seat until the five-time Ballon d’Or winner eventually falls from grace.
Per Spanish newspaper Sport, the intermediary reportedly offered Real a deal with Neymar’s contract billed at €30 million per year (£23 million). According to Sun Sport, Ligue 1 champions PSG have also offered the flamboyant attacker a similar figure to lure his talents to the Parc des Princes.
