Barcelona: Neymar and Coutinho links addressed by pundits
Barcelona want to sign Neymar from PSG but, due to their financial situation, are reluctant to break the bank for the Brazil international.
The La Liga giants are hoping to beat Real Madrid to the forward’s signature but, as things stand, have been unable to strike an agreement.
Barcelona had been backed to send either Malcom or Philippe Coutinho to PSG as part of any Neymar swap deal but both players have since gone elsewhere.
And Catalan newspaper Sport say Ernesto Valverde’s side have decided not to give up Dembele or Semedo as well.
