News Transfer: Barcelona hopes to keep the Brazilian star player Neymar, but if he is headed to Paris Saint-Germain, then this is an option that can be utilized by Blaugrana in the transfer market.
No one has made an offer for Neymar and Blaugrana vice-president Jordi Mestre believes 200 percent of the clubs are not willing to redeem their contract release clause for 222 million euros (3.4 trillion rupiah).
However, with the transfer talks getting heated up and if the player is not happy, plus the club is willing to redeem his release clause then there are many options that can be selected by management Blaugrana.
Of course nothing is available in the transfer market as Neymar is right now. But the money earned Barcelona in this transfer can be used again to bring in a number of players who can improve the quality of the squad such as Marco Verratti, Ousmane Dembele and Paulinho Bezerra.
Verratti is believed to be worth 100 million euros (1.5 trillion rupiah) on the market, while Dembele rewarded 90 million euros (1.3 trillion rupiah) when Barcelona asked about his situation at Borussia Dortmund. For Paulinho, Guangzhou Evergrande has already received a 30 million euro (461 billion rupiah) offer and a 5 million euro (76.9 billion rupiah) bonus. That earned a total of 220 million euros (3.4 trillion rupiah) before being added to the potential increase in Paulinho's deal.
Of course, these prices are merely estimates and there is no clause on Verratti and Dembele. While the price of the French striker has been set by his club, Barca still have to negotiate with PSG about Verratti. And about Paulinho, the Catalan stronghold awaits a reply from Guangzhou for their third offer.
On the other hand, there are also a number of alternative paths that can be cured to fill the left wing to replace Neymar. Dembele is one of the players who can fill the void, but long-term targets like Antoine Griezmann, Paulo Dybala and Kylian Mbappe.
