Revealed: Barcelona identify Neymar transfer alternative after PSG accept huge offer from Al-Hilal

• Neymar tipped for summer PSG exit
• Al-Hilal have offer for him accepted
• Barcelona eye Felix if Neymar doesn't join

WHAT HAPPENED? Neymarreportedly informed PSGhe wants to leave the club this summer, which led to interest from his former side Barcelona and MLS teams. However, it appears Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal have agreed a fee with PSG to sign the Brazilian international. While that deal could happen, Fabrizio Romano claims Barca are turning their attentions to Atletico Madrid's Joao Felix instead.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Felix's future at Atletico looks uncertain after he spent the second half of last season on loan at Chelsea and he himself said it would be his "dream"to play at the Camp Nou. Manager Diego Simeone later slammed the Portuguese international for those comments. It is not certain that Neymar will sign for Al-Hilal this summer, with PSG reportedly slapping a €150 million (£129.6m/$164.5m) price tag on the 31-year-old, but Felix may be a more realistic option for the Spanish giants - despite their much publicised financial issues.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Barcelona may still hold out hope of recruiting Neymar, who left them for the French side in 2017 for a world record fee of €222m euros (£200m/$243.4m), as the Qatari-run club are understood to be open to a loan move to get Neymar's salary off the wage bill.
