Barcelona need 300 million euros to be able to sign Neymar Fichajes FC Barcelona Could take out another loan

Neymar is in Barcelona's sights and the possibility of signing him is catching the attention of all of those in charge at the club as they desperately seek a way to sign him.

It's a complicated matter due to the number of people involved and the conditions of any such deal, but Paris Saint-Germain, and coach Thomas Tuchel, have recognised that he wants to leave.

The first obstacle is the price, given that Barcelona have already spent 225 million euros on Frenkie de Jong (75 million euros), Neto (26 million euros), Antoine Griezmann (120 million euros) and on Tuesday, Marc Cucurella (4 million euros).

Until now, the only departure this season has been Sergi Palencia moving to Saint Etienne for a few million euros as Jesper Cillessen, Denis Suarez, Andre Gomes and Marc Cardona's exits all contributed to last season's figures.

That means that Barcelona start the negotiations for Neymar being 223 million euros out of pocket and with the Brazilian valued at 175 million euros to 200 million euros, they could easily reach at least 400 million euros in deficit.

This year, FIFA indicate that the difference between spending and sales on transfers cannot exceed 100 million euros, which would mean that Barcelona would have to rake in 300 million euros in transfers between now and June 30, 2020.

Such sales would mean a real shak -up of the team, not only for the amount of money but also for the time in which there is to achieve it.

Barcelona must know how much money they have available to make an offer to PSG, which may mean that some sales are agreed in advance of talks over Neymar.

There are a number of players who are following the situation closely, with the first being Philippe Coutinho, who has been on the market for some time, not only to fund a move for Neymar but also for Griezmann, but he is yet to find a destination, though PSG could be one.

Another player monitoring the rumours is Ousmane Dembele, the Frenchman who was considered to be not up for sale earlier on this summer, but who could leave if Neymar arrives.

The same applies to Malcom, who would lose his spot in the squad for a non-European Union player if Neymar signed, though it could also impact Arturo Vidal.

Then there are others who could leave in more complex deals, such as Samuel Umtiti and Ivan Rakitic, who do not want to leave, and Nelson Semedo, who the club don't want to sell.

The option of asking for another loan, as has been the case with Griezmann, hasn't been ruled out yet.
