It is no secret that the current priority of FC Barcelona and Xavi Hernandez particularly lies in bringing to the club an offensive midfielder or player of similar qualities in order to reinforce a side left vulnerable by the departure of a particular Frenchman.
Following the unexpected loss of French winger Ousmane Dembele to Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Barcelona have since been scouring the market looking for an adequate replacement.
Initially, there was only one name in the mind of FC Barcelona that would bring both quality and experience to this Blaugrana side, and that was Manchester City’s 28-year-old Bernardo Silva.
However, the operation concerning Bernardo Silva seems to have stalled for FC Barcelona, and there has now advanced another name that could potentially done the colors of the Catalan club as he once did before quite successfully.
Neymar Jr, the Brazil national team captain, and former Barcelona hero, has recently been linked heavily to La Blaugrana and has said to have offered his own services to the Catalan club following a decision to leave PSG.
According to Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, the operation to bring in Neymar Jr to Barcelona already has the consensus of most of the Catalan club’s members and it is primarily the green light of coach Xavi Hernandez that could completely accelerate movements concerning the ‘Neymar Operation’.
However, Barcelona’s demands for such a transfer to become realistic concern both the player individually as well as his current club, PSG.
FC Barcelona require Neymar Jr himself to lower his salary demands that he is currently contracted upon with PSG by more than half, and they require PSG to be willing to accept either a loan move for the player or a low-cost transfer.
