#1 Neymar (Paris Saint Germain)
Just two years ago, Neymar completed a world-record move to Paris Saint Germain from Barcelona. However, his ambitions have taken a massive hit as neither the player nor the club have managed to do anything the significant on the European stage. The Brazilian’s absence due to injury in crucial stages of the Champions League has seen the Les Parisiens crash out of the competition. And now, Neymar’s recent actions clearly tell that he is pining to return to his former club.
The Brazilian, however, won’t come cheap. PSG are ready to let him leave only if they recoup the £222m fee they forked out to sign him in 2017. Barcelona have already coughed up £120m to sign Antoine Griezmann this summer, hence a player plus cash deal remains the only possible way for La Blaugrana to bring back their former star.
According to recent reports, the Spanish giants are ready to offer £116m and any three of Umtiti, Coutinho, Rakitic and Semedo in lieu for Neymar. It remains to be seen if PSG tend to accept this offer as the deal would also include Coutinho, who is said to be a target to replace his Brazilian teammate at the Parc des Princes.
