As transfer stories go, this is a pretty huge one. If the sensational reports are believed to be true, then we have to prepare ourselves to see one of the most outrageous partnerships in Paulo Dybala and Lionel Messi.
Paris Saint Germain are reportedly hot on the heels of Neymar as they are ready to cough up his staggering release clause which is in the range of around £200m. The French club is ready to snap up a deal for the Brazilian and if he departs there will be a big void to fill.
According to reports, The Catalans are tracking Juventus hotshot Paulo Dybala and if Neymar does leave the Nou Camp, they would go all out for the Argentine superstar.
The forward has been in supreme form and has been a sensation since his move to Turin from Palermo. Lionel Messi is an avid admirer of his fellow country man after watching his rise to prominence and has specially asked the club to make a move for the player.
Neymar is believed to be unhappy after playing second fiddle to Messi. When you are playing alongside Messi, you are bound to be overshadowed but the Brazilian wants to be the main man in the side which is currently looking very slim.
In the French capital, he will have the chance to take on a leadership role and he has been promised by the club he would be rewarded with a very prominent role in the side.
Contrary to Neymar’s perspective, Dybala has made a mark of his own which is drastically different from Lionel Messi. Despite playing alongside Messi, he has been able to gather a fan following of his own despite being from the same country.
Juventus have already lost two prime members in Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci so they would try their best to retain the jewel in their squad. But if Neymar moves to Paris, it will leave Barcelona with a whole lot of money to spend.
The Catalans could have to pay a world record sum for the Argentine international who is the most developed youngster among the current crop of players.
Dybala found the net 19 times in the last season including a brace against the Catalans in the Uefa Champions League quarter final first leg. The Spanish giants eventually crashed out after a goalless second leg.
Dybala’s move to the Nou Camp is not imminent but everything is dependent on Neymar’s future.
