Neymar has confirmed his move to the parisian club for a £222mil record fee transference according to reliable sources.
Barça couldn't sign Verrati from PSG and are now handing their 3rd best player to them >They will spend the cash filling the team with literally whos and it will take them at least 3 years to recover from this (they will probably lose Messi now) >Psg will continue to choke after the group stages in the Champions >Madrid will make Pep's Barca look small after winning 4 champions league in 5 years
Thoughts?
Cameron Jones
>reliable sources sources? French medias say "Nerman stays 200% at Barcelona for now"
Angel Turner
barça will sell neymar for 150 million euros plus verratti. barça will use around half of the money to buy mbappé and the other half to jump-start the financing of the stadium's renovation
Ryder Lopez
Apparently some very reliable hue journalists just (as in literally a few minutes ago) broke the story that he accepted PSG's offer.
Kayden Perry
Neymar has a 222 mil clause in his contract We will pay the 222 mil and that's it.
Luis Gonzalez
Can't wait to see him in a cold rainy night in Caen
Alexander Sanchez
>paying 222 million for the weakest link of MSN >he will never win ballon dor because at the time messi and tsu retire Dembele and Mbappe will be the Alpha and Omega of football
looks like a typical PSG move.
Austin Reyes
>very reliable >hue
???
Lincoln Ortiz
OK I re-read the article and it's Jordi Mestre who says that, he also says that PSG doesn't have contacts or interest in Nerman. Seems BS 2bh
Nerman is going. This deal would oxygenate Barcelona's financial health. Just too good to be overlooked.
Eli Smith
I went to look who the journalist was and is that Marcelo Bechler dude, he lives in Barcelona and is actually quite well-informed, so who knows, it might be true.
Gavin Cox
it's not; at least not for now. this is a case of "first to report" for the recognition. Wait for a real source to pick it up
Samuel Roberts
Sell, buy Dybala and Varrati
Noah Wilson
They aren't going to give you Verratti.
Christopher Campbell
why would PSG sell Verratti?
Wyatt Bailey
Only reason for Barcelona to let Nerman go. So, how is the financial health of this club? Last I heard it was very poor, not many money, had 3 huge salaries to pay (Messi Suarez Nerman), had to rebuild the stadium, etc.
Kayden Barnes
Why should PSG let Verratti leave all of a sudden? They don't have to, because they can just trigger the buy-out clause. And they would be stupid if they did, because with a team around Neymar and Verrati they would actually have the chance to overtake Barca.
Charles Torres
They overtook Real Madrid this year in terms of revenue and value. Sure they have a lot of debt but that is not that much of an issue if you make as much money as Barcelona does.
Barcelona will never sell Neymar, but if Neymar wants to leave and PSG is willing to pay the buy out clause there is nothing they could do against it.
Aiden Cooper
I hope that this transfer is finally happening. Barcelona is JUST FUCKED by now and Messi is too much autistic to get along for years in a row.
He will win a UCL for Paris Saint Memein.
Hudson Ward
he's not going anywhere now. but next summer he might fuck off if he is smart, because barca is sinking ship
Nathan Parker
Kek. PSG won't sell Verrati and Dybala is just a meme boipucci.
Gabriel Adams
He's leaving because he will always be under the shadow of Messi in Barça and his best buddies (Adriano and Alves) left the club as well. PSG is the only club that can afford to break his clause in the world right now and there's nothing barça can do about it if he really wants to leave.
Jose Peterson
>Messi is too much autistic to get along for years in a row wewlad, you sure made a great point there! I rate it 1 out of 7
Landon Sanders
>sell Neymar for €220m >sign Verratti, Mbappe and Dembele for €220m
Looks like a good deal for Barca.
Nolan Watson
>[big name star player] to [rich club] for [huge sum] Seen it before. Not happening.
Isaiah Walker
That would be such a downgrade.
Pls go to Halal
Samuel Price
They should sell him >20 goals in 45 games last season with Messi and Suarez supporting you
Juan Mitchell
Mbappé would never go to Barcelona tho He's clearly a Real utter fanboy
Julian Gutierrez
>with Messi and Suarez supporting you quite the opposite
Noah Garcia
>PSG is the only club that can afford to break his clause in the world right now
Umm no sweetie.
Nolan Thomas
is ffp not a thing?
how can they just spend that kinda money
Gabriel Rodriguez
They are sponsoring themselves to avoid the FFP.
Ian Foster
FFP is a meme. There's easy ways to subvert it.
Sebastian Jones
The point of FFP is to prevent clubs from bankrupting themselves.
Carter Walker
>Verratti Lol no.
>MMbop Going to Real, if he ever goes to Spain. And not even played two seasons yet.
>Dembelé Already peaked.
I like this idea.
Michael Green
>according to reliable sources
Brody Carter
so is isco
Zachary Harris
>according to reliable sources
Tyler Rivera
Don't you mean "222%"?
Colton Sanchez
...
John Barnes
Qatar owes both FIFA and PSG do you really think it is an issue for them? They just declared that Qatar Tourism is a sponsor of them that gave them 1 billion, although they are not even wearing them on their jerseys and nothing. Its painfully obvious that they are not really a sponsor (in the sense of paying them for advertisement) but just a way for Qatar to overcome FFP rules, and FIFA doesnt give a shit because Qatar pays them too.
Lol no, FFP stands for "financial fair play", but PSG doesnt need to give a shit because Qatar basically owns FIFA too.
Josiah Watson
Post yfw psg buy neymar for their new cs:go team
Levi Turner
>1000% Jesus + 200% Barcelona Oh shit.
Asher Diaz
Jokes aside, PSG aren't getting into cs because they don't want to associate with shooting games. Imagine the reaction if they signed a cs team considering the situation in France in general and Paris in particular
Lincoln Clark
Is Barcelona not an attractive team anymore?
Brayden Hall
Not if you're a young striker/winger who will have literally 0 chances to play over MSN
James Lee
they'd pay his release clause and make him probably the biggest earner in europe, according to reports
plus his dad is a moneywhore
Jose Clark
It's literally just one guy with ZERO credibility.
Michael Robinson
lets say 222 million plus 60 million wage a year for 5 years thats 522 million for just one player. you could build a cl-winning squad with that kind of money.
Luke Anderson
No way on earth this would be only 522mil. You're forgetting things like taxes, bonus, Neymar Sr. piece etc
Easily 800mil, that's why is impossible and the whole news bullshit.
William Price
If it DID happen, throughout the course of those 5 years, that investment would surely be recouped through jersey sales/titles etc. At worst they would break even. Don't think they even care about making money tho, it's more like a statement - "Look, we're still rich and relevant". PSG owners are desperate to make something big
Zachary Morales
If you add wages + full contract every player gets madly expensive, Messi, Ronaldo, Pogba, even Higuain would cost 500 million +
Isaac Sanchez
>jersey sales
don't those sales just go back to nike? it's why they give so much money to sponsor these clubs.
Sebastian Flores
10-20% goes to club, a percentage goes to the player on some deals, the rest go to Nike. It would still earn them a LOT of money, you have no idea how many shirts big name players sell.
Leo Young
People are largely overestimating jersey sales. Real Madrid made around 15 million last year with ALL merchandise they sold (so not just jerseys, but everything) from ALL players. Sure it would drastically increase brand recognition of PSG but for 500 million?
Jose Thompson
They would still unironically play Trapp and Kurzawa, kek.
Jacob Walker
Higuain makes like 13 million gross, so for 5 years hes at around 180 million. Pogba would be at 200 something million etc.
Leo Brooks
Because thats the only way they would get Nerman without paying the 15 gazillion buy-out clause?
Nathan Rivera
>but for 500 million? probably the qatari way to say "we're still here, we own your clubs, your companies and you should get used to it" after all the diplomatic tensions of the past months. also, they got seriously butthurt when barcelona didn't renew their contract with qatar airways - they're crazy enough to fund neymar's transfer just to make a point
Daniel Robinson
Kek, they don't to sell Verratti NOW, imagine if they do get Nerman..
Nathan Hill
doubt it will happen, probably just getting back at barca for their open verrati pursuit
Josiah Richardson
Some say they signed Alves just to piss of the UAE.
Tyler Anderson
this could unironically be true, knowing tha psg needed a left back, not right back.
Gavin Nelson
>I'll buy your Verrati >So, I'll buy your Neymar >Ok, nothing...
And that's what happened.
Xavier Russell
he was also linked to mancity, right? makes sense. btw, it's a bit strange that psg still has (or in other words, is still allowed to have) emirates as their main shirt sponsor.
Joseph Thompson
They do need a right back. Aurier behavior will be problematic in the future
Benjamin Myers
cringe thread
Caleb Hughes
Why do you still play Trapp, dude? Makes no sense, first Siguri, then Trapp..
Anthony Evans
They had the second highest revenue last year of all clubs and their debt ratio isn't that high. Not in the top 20 indebted clubs.
Problem is they have a number of guys, especially Messy and Neymar, with outrageous salaries and they have to deal with the Stadium work. That doesn't leave much money to spend.
Daniel Johnson
Sirigu*
Mason Carter
Trapp is handsome
William Moore
He's good. Better than "one shot on goal" Sirigu
Jason Richardson
Neymar will take the Donaldo route from selfish over-extravagant winger to one dimensional poacher, rather than as everyone seems to assume, the Messi route, from world class winger to all round master attacker. Barca should cash in now and rebuild their team with real quality in all positions or they will never get back level with Real, Buyern and Juve.
Caleb Miller
He's dogshit. There a zillions of better GKs out there, and you sure have money, so why keep playing him?
Christopher Watson
PSG wanted to buy Oblak. Is there any news ?
Jaxon Diaz
>to one dimensional poacher
That was unironically his 14/15 season and he was quite good at it.
Mason Allen
They wanted Oblak but they refused, they also wanted Donnarumma but shit hit the fan. They also discuted with Cech but he didn't want to sign.
Camden Lee
it would be difficult. atlético has an active transfer ban, so they can't register new players until 1/1/2018. i don't think they would sell their top gk without a mean to replace him
Adrian Parker
In a timeline where Lukaku and Higuain cost close to 100 million 200 million for Neymar sound like a bargain.
Jaxon Ward
What if they pay the realease clause of every atletico player ? Are they fucked ?
Jonathan Moore
>yfw they sell neymar and buy paulinho
Caleb Thompson
If the players agree to leave. Yes.
Connor Smith
Nerman knows that Messi will play at Barca until he can't even walk, and Nerman can't be the star player at Barca until Messi retires. It makes perfect sense to me. He could create his own legacy at PSG.
Mason Perry
>PSG >buy Neymar and CR7
literally who can stop them?
Adam Gray
Actually wish he pulled a Figo and went to RM.
Thomas Turner
That would be a dream. Halal Madrid is the perfect place for him.
Elijah Morris
>yfw Buyern buys Messi and then Messi/Le cut inside man vs CR7/Neymar
Lucas Jenkins
It's fucking cringy.
Still Barca shouldn't let go of Nerman. He's been really good this season, decissive in many games above Messi, and he also generates moneys. Other players that shined in on other clubs may not shine at Barca, and Nerman is better than any of them.
I mean 20 Andre Gomes don't compensate 1 Nerman, and some people are talking as if it's a fact that 1 Dembele + 1 Verratti compensates for 1 Nerman. Hmmmmm, maybe not.
Leo Sanchez
Not gonna happen, and Barcelona won't get Overratti either.
Adrian Powell
But don't you think that having three of the best fowards doesn't make an unbalanced team? Plus Nerman can't play positional game.
Bentley Long
PSG did the same when Barca made a push for Silva a few years ago. They threatened to trigger Messi's buyout close just to act tough because they were pissed.
PSG are so insecure, they are a smaller team than Barca or Milan or basically any big club in Europe, so they try to act like alpha dogs when their players are begging to leave because they want to play for an actual great club.
Neymar is not coming to Paris, and Paris will simply keep being milked by Verratti and his agent. Two payraises a year for the Italian midget, a loss in the quarterfinals for PSG, and life goes on.
Jose Nguyen
>reliable hue >reliable >hue
Juan Powell
Really? I think he's incredibly overrated.
Jonathan Davis
Are you really saying that having three of the best forwards in the world (who don't even play in the same position and compliment each other's game) is a bad thing? For real?
Christopher Rogers
>some people are talking as if it's a fact that 1 Dembele + 1 Verratti compensates for 1 Nerman It would strengthen Barça's team immensely.
Eli Baker
All things considering, yes. But just because of Nerman. Having someone like Villa would be ok.
Brandon King
You really believe that David Villa would be a better fit to Barcelona's multiple title-winning system than Neymar? This has to be bait.
Justin Lopez
Thats exactly what I said. Are you having trouble with comprehension?
