Barcelona fan begs Josep Maria Bartomeu for Neymar
Barcelona need to persuade Ousmane Dembele into joining PSG in order to land Neymar, according to reports.
The Catalan giants have spent the summer trying to bring Neymar back to the Nou Camp, just two years after his bitter and controversial move to the Parc des Princes.
The Brazil international has also attracted interest from Real Madrid and Juventus but the PSG star only wants a return to Barcelona.
Yet in order for the deal to happen, Catalan newspaper Sport say the La Liga giants need to persuade Dembele into heading in the opposite direction.

“I don’t think that necessarily ways into the equation here.
“There are reports in Spain saying that Barcelona are going to make one final attempt involving an Ousmane Dembele plus cash package.
“It’s something we’ve heard but I’m pretty sceptical here. If PSG didn’t go for Philippe Coutinho plus cash, arguably a player they needed more, I’m not sure how Dembele plus cash is going to sway them.
“Also, I think in general, the mood has changed even though nobody is getting carried away by that 5-2 win over Real Betis.
“They have solutions, that Griezmann carried the team without Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.
“On the PSG end, as much as the ultras would like to see him gone, as much as they don’t appreciate his behaviour, Thomas Tuchel will happily take him back and the club won’t be bullied into letting him go for less than he’s worth. Barring some weird divine intervention, I think Neymar stays where he is.”
