Barcelona are considering all possible options as they are planning their life without their Brazilian attacker Neymar. Paris Saint Germain have been pursuing his services for quite a while and have now won the battle.
Barcelona have given the go ahead to this long pending transfer and Neymar has already completed his record transfer to France, leaving Barcelona a bit weak in attack The Catalans have already made it clear that the mammoth fee of £198m needs to be paid in full to have any kind of access on the youngster.
PSG is believed to have agreed on this condition and Neymar is in Paris to have the second spell of his career. Barcelona have been pretty determined to make use of the £198 pretty vigorously and according to reports, they are mulling options for PSG’s Angel Di Maria.
The Argentine winger had a pretty fruit full spell at Real Madrid winning the La Liga title and the Champions League during his stint with Los Blancos. Barcelona will not ask the French club to include him in the deal, rather, they are planning to raid the French club separately.
Di Maria will be more than happy to join the Catalans as he will have the chance to combine with his fellow countrymen Angel Di Maria and Lionel Messi. PSG need to free some spaces to fit in Neymar and they might be ready to off load the Argentine attacker.
The 29-year-old had a pretty erratic season and will be interested in making a move back to Spain. Barcelona have been chasing Marco Verratti but PSG have refused to entertain their plea and now they have shifted their focus to this Argentine.
The Catalans want to wrap up this transfer as soon as they can and they might make a formal offer now that PSG have officially completed the move for the Brazilian.
Neymar has put pen to paper on a five years contract and he is set to be one of the highest paid players in the world with wages in the tune of £500,000 a week.
Barcelona’s primary choice to replace Neymar has been Liverpool’s Coutinho but the English side has knocked back their offers to sell their prized asset. Di Maria is well acquainted with the pros and cons of the La Liga and could be a very reasonable option for the Catalans, especially now with time running out before the new season starts. But is he the right man for Barcelona?
